30-60 / 1000+ resultsresearch The frictional properties of wool and related hair fibers.
research The case of the felted wig
This report describes a sudden hair matting incident after shampooing a hairpiece and suggests that weathered hairs might explain this unusual event.
research From Design to Production: Applications of Polymer and Protein Nanofibers for Regenerating Tissue
In this study, FN-based fiber scaffolds designed using Rotary Jet-Spinning were shown to enhance wound healing and reduce scar formation in a mouse model, suggesting potential for regenerating healthy skin structure.
research Fiber Implantation for Pattern Baldness
In this study, fiber implantation for pattern baldness was deemed ineffective and resulted in complications such as infection, scarring, and permanent hair loss, making it an unacceptable treatment option.
research Deciphering the cellular landscape and genetic underpinnings of fiber diameter determined by dermal papilla cells in fine-wool sheep
In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.
research Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques
This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.
research Review of Women with Vision: The Presentation Sisters of South Dakota, 1880-1985
In this study, FGF5-knockout Dorper sheep generated using CRISPR/Cas9 showed increased fine-wool and active hair-follicle density, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for androgen alopecia.
research Features of the fatty acid profile of down and guard fibers of felted wool of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain sheep breed
This study found that wool felting in Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain sheep is linked to significant changes in fatty acid composition, particularly highlighting a decrease in 18-methyleicosanoic acid in bound lipids, suggesting it as a potential marker for cuticle lipid layer damage during felting.
research Follicular Unit Plain Speak
This abstract introduces the concept of follicular units (FUs) in the human scalp but presents no new research findings.
research A Correlative Fluorescent and Electron Microscopic Technique for Ultralocalization of Trichocyte Keratins
This study demonstrates a sample preparation method for wool follicles that allows for clear keratin labeling and ultrastructural preservation in microscopy, reducing common artefacts from conventional fixation techniques.
research High-Performance Wigs via the Langmuir–Blodgett Deposition of Keratin/Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite
This study described a new wig coating technique using keratin and graphene oxide that significantly enhanced UV resistance, antistatic properties, and durability compared to traditional methods.
research Application of complex filling material consisting of autologous skin fibroblast and hair keratin in medical cosmetology
This study found that a complex filling material made from autologous skin fibroblasts and hair keratin significantly improved the appearance of facial wrinkles, suggesting potential for clinical cosmetic applications.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.
research Modern artificial hair implantation: a pilot study of 10 patients
This study found that artificial copolyamide fiber implantation was generally safe and aesthetically pleasing for patients with androgenetic alopecia who failed conventional therapies, though mild complications like folliculitis were noted in some cases.
research Silk fibroin nanofibers-GelMA hydrogel composite loaded with embryonic fibroblasts: A strategy for enhanced wound healing
The composite dressing improved wound healing and hair growth in mice.
research Synthetic Hair Fiber Implantation: Fishing Lines on the Head
research Direct Observation of Hair Components Involved in Formation of Permanent Waves
This study found that microfibrils play a crucial role in shaping permanent waves by thioglycolic acid, and treating damaged hair with hydrolyzed keratin improved both waving efficiency and hair damage.
research Fiber implantation for pattern baldness
This study found that fiber implantation for pattern baldness frequently led to complications, including infection and scarring, and poses carcinogenesis risks, leading authorities to discourage its use.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
This study generated FGF5-knockout Dorper sheep using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, resulting in significantly increased fine-wool and active hair-follicle density, and explored downstream signaling pathways for potential applications in androgen alopecia treatment.
research Research of protein grafting and cross-linking technology on pilling resistance of rabbit hair fabric
This study found that milk protein grafting and cross-linking treatment significantly improved the pilling resistance of rabbit hair knitted fabric.
research Implantation of Biocompatible Fibers for the Temporary Correction of Scalp Scars and Androgenetic Alopecia
The authors reported that fiber hair implants provided excellent results in over 85% of patients with permanent alopecia, with mild complications and a yearly fiber failure rate below 20%.
research Responses to dietary supplementation with field bean (Vicia faba var. minor) in production indices, mohair growth and hormonal parameters in transition Angora goats
This study found that supplementing Angora goats with whole field bean seeds postpartum did not prevent weight and body condition losses but was associated with improved mohair growth and kid weight gain, likely due to better nutrient partitioning towards lactation and hair growth.
research Characterisation of low abundance wool proteins through novel differential extraction techniques
This study reported advances in identifying low-abundance proteins in wool by using fractionation techniques to reduce the dominance of intermediate filament proteins, improving the understanding of the wool proteome.
research FGF20 Secreted From Dermal Papilla Cells Regulate the Proliferation and Differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Fine‐Wool Sheep
In this study, researchers found that reducing FGF20 expression in dermal papilla cells of fine-wool sheep impedes the growth and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, providing insights into wool trait improvement and regenerative medicine applications.
research Growth of wool follicles in culture
Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.
research The proteomics of wool follicles
This study explored proteomics to investigate protein changes during protein synthesis and keratinization in maturing wool fiber, but the relationship to fibre development remains largely unknown.
research Production-scale fibronectin nanofibers promote wound closure and tissue repair in a dermal mouse model
This study found that fibronectin nanofiber dressings, made using rotary jet spinning, accelerated wound healing and improved tissue restoration in a full-thickness wound mouse model.
