Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair quality by increasing follicles and reducing skin aging.
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Correlation Analysis of Four KRTAP Gene Polymorphisms and Cashmere Fiber Diameters in Two Cashmere Goat Breeds

research A Detailed Mapping of the Readily Accessible Disulfide Bonds in the Cortex of Wool Fibers
Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.
research Characterization of Transport Systems for Cysteine, Lysine, Alanine, and Leucine in Wool Follicles of Sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Acid Phosphatase Distribution in the Wool Follicle: Fate of Organelles in Keratinized Cells
Keratinized wool cells still have some organelles like lysosomes and mitochondria.
research The Mean Staple Length of Wool Fiber Is Associated with Variation in the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-2 Gene
The KRTAP21-2 gene affects wool length and quality in sheep.
research Cost-Effectively Dissecting the Genetic Architecture of Complex Wool Traits in Rabbits by Low-Coverage Sequencing
Low-coverage sequencing is a cost-effective way to identify genes related to wool traits in rabbits.
research Improve the Physical and Chemical Properties of Camel's Hair Fiber in Afif Province
Camel hair from Afif can be improved for textiles by adding chemicals or blending with other fibers.
research Inhibition of Polyamine Synthesis Alters Hair Follicle Function and Fiber Composition
The study investigated the role of polyamines in hair follicle function and fiber composition in sheep. It found that inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase with alpha difluoromethylornithine altered fiber characteristics but did not inhibit wool follicle growth in culture. Conversely, inhibiting S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase with methylglyoxal (bis)guanylhydrazone completely inhibited fiber growth, which could be reversed by adding spermidine, but not spermine. The study concluded that polyamines, particularly spermidine, were crucial for hair growth, as evidenced by the ability of spermidine to partially counteract growth depression in methionine-deficient conditions.
research Cost-Effectively Dissecting the Genetic Architecture of Complex Wool Traits in Rabbits by Low-Coverage Sequencing
Low-coverage sequencing is a cost-effective way to find genetic factors affecting rabbit wool traits.
