George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.

The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.

Hair structure worsens as tumors grow in mice.

The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.

Scientists successfully created mouse hair proteins in the lab, which are stable and similar to natural hair.

The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.

Genetic variation in the KRTAP15-1 gene affects wool yield in sheep.

Key genes crucial for sheep hair follicle development were identified, aiding fine wool breeding and human hair loss research.

A new goat gene affects cashmere fiber thickness; certain variations can make the fibers coarser.

Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.

Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.

The research identified genes and pathways important for sheep wool growth and shedding.

Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.

The KRT84 gene is linked to better wool quality in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep.

Variant G of the KRTAP20-1 gene improves wool curliness in Chinese Tan sheep.

The SOSTDC1 gene is crucial for determining sheep wool type.

Dorper sheep's wool shedding is linked to specific genes and pathways, which may help understand human hair growth.

Key proteins and pathways regulate wool fiber diameter in Alpine Merino sheep.

A new method extracts red dyes from wool without damaging it, although it slightly weakens the wool.

Researchers developed a less damaging way to extract red dyes from wool using EDTA and DMF, preserving the fiber's strength for further analysis.

Nanofiber scaffolds help wounds heal by delivering drugs directly to the injury site.

Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.

Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.

Ceramide-rich liposomes can effectively repair and strengthen damaged hair.

The KRTAP27-1 gene variations in sheep may affect wool length and weight.

Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.

Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.

The hair cuticle is made of tough proteins that protect the hair, but more research is needed to fully understand its structure.

Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.

Melatonin and Lissotriton improved hair quality and increased activity in mice.
