This study describes a double embedding technique for preparing tangential sections of hair and wool fibers, recommending specific staining methods for quantitative analysis and demonstrating wool fiber cortical fractions.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.

This paper examines factors affecting the stretching setting treatment of human hair and wool, concluding that the intended outcomes can be achieved using their customized testing equipment and technology.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.

This study reports new cellular features and complex interaction systems in fiber differentiation, indicating more intricate cellular organization than previously recognized, including features like mast cells and primary cilia.

This study found that wool fiber surfaces damaged in processing tended to have cellular debris adhering to them, while undamaged surfaces did not show this interaction.

This study found that hair curvature in merino wool is influenced by differences in cell type length rather than the proportions of orthocortical and paracortical cells.

In this study, a new delipidisation method that removes over 97% of key lipids from wool rapidly and without yellowing was reported to improve wool processing and printing quality.

This study found that intradermal spermidine injections stimulated cell proliferation and increased fibre length growth rate in wool follicles of Merino lambs, without significantly affecting fibre diameter.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This abstract discusses the challenges faced by the wool industry in Baluchistan, Pakistan, highlighting the need for improved education and technical resources for wool shearing and processing, but reports no new research results.
