This study examined the Spanish Merino breed's wool quality, identifying 74 genetic variants linked to key wool traits like fiber diameter and staple length, which could help restore the breed's potential for producing high-quality wool.

In this study, substituting Sangyod rice flour for wheat flour in butter cakes improved nutritional profiles and maintained sensory qualities, with 50% substitution showing the best balance, supporting local agriculture and potentially leading to healthier bakery options.

This study found that PGA-4HGF nanoparticles enhanced hair growth in mice more effectively than 4HGF alone by increasing anagen phase duration and dermal papilla cell proliferation.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.

This study identified proteins involved in hair follicle formation in cashmere goat embryos, highlighting potential signaling factors that may drive hair follicle initiation and cashmere growth.

This study found that milk protein grafting and cross-linking treatment significantly improved the pilling resistance of rabbit hair knitted fabric.

This study successfully established a transgenic sheep fibroblast cell line expressing the spider dragline silk protein gene, laying groundwork for developing transgenic sheep with this capability in hair follicles.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

This study identified genomic regions and genes associated with wool, live weight, body condition, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep, highlighting potential genetic factors influencing these characteristics.

Whn is crucial for hair growth in certain areas by controlling a specific gene.

Hemp seed biomaterials may reduce hair loss and improve hair growth.

This study explored the fungal diversity on human scalps, identifying 15 genera and 24 species from 18 scalp samples of girls, with yeast-like structures found in 33.3% of cases. Additionally, zinc oxide nanoparticles, synthesized using ginger extract, showed significant antifungal activity against specific species.

In this study, biotin supplementation was found to significantly increase wool follicle viability and metabolic activity in vitro, with the highest effects observed at 0.5 mg L⁻¹ concentration.

In this study on fine-wool sheep, researchers found that overexpressing the TGFBR1 gene decreased proliferation of dermal papilla cells by influencing multiple signaling pathways, suggesting TGFBR1 as a negative regulator in hair follicle development.

In this study, topical application of keratin extract from wool promoted hair growth in mice by reducing the time for initiation and completion of growth phases and improving hair quality.

This study found no conclusive evidence of biocatalytic activity of guinea pig liver transglutaminase with virgin human hair, potentially due to a fatty acid layer on the hair surface.

This study found that supplementing pregnant Hanshan white cashmere goats' diets with selenium yeast led to higher birth weights, improved cashmere quality and yield, and enhanced hair follicle development in their offspring, possibly through increased antioxidant capacity.

This study identified genetic differences between Australian White Sheep and Hu Sheep that may explain their distinct pelage types, with a focus on subcutaneous adiposity and immunoregulation. The findings suggest potential targets for breeding climate-resilient sheep, enhancing our understanding of heat tolerance in these breeds.

This study identified four keratin genes associated with hair follicle development that were expressed more highly in super fine wool Xinji sheep compared to fine wool sheep.

This study found that crossbred lambs fed liquid diets with reconstituted cow's milk initially grew wool without crimp, with crimp resuming two weeks post-weaning.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

In this study, researchers conducted whole-genome resequencing of eight sheep breeds to identify additional genes associated with wool fineness, revealing 269 genes in fine wool and 319 in coarse wool breeds that are linked to significant traits and pathways.

This study found that grape pomace from Georgian winemaking contains significant tocopherols and antioxidant activity, suggesting it could be a valuable resource for the pharmaceutical and food industries.

This study identified 21 candidate genes related to immunoglobulin concentrations in colostrum and serum of dairy cattle, which may aid in genetic improvement for disease resistance.

This study found that germ-free mice on a biotin-deficient diet exhibited significant weight loss and severe alopecia, unlike conventional mice on the same diet.

In this study, researchers extracted soluble keratin proteins from chicken feathers and found they maintain structural integrity with potential uses for damaged skin, exhibiting no irritative effects in ex vivo settings on hen's eggs.

In this study, WNT10A was identified as a key gene in the development and maturation of skin hair follicles in fetal Inner Mongolian cashmere goats.

Werner's syndrome causes early aging and increases cancer risk, requiring early diagnosis and symptom management.

This study found that the tetrazolium salt INT is the most effective for revealing dehydrogenase activity and certain histological structures in sheep and other mammals' skin.
