This study identified and sequenced a goat hair keratin cDNA that matches closely with its sheep counterpart, showing strong expression in hair follicle cortex.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study analyzed inner root sheath-specific genes in Tan sheep during various growth stages, finding peak expression at birth. The pattern of genes KRT71, KRT72, and TCHH is consistent with wool crimp, potentially influencing wool morphology.

This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.

This study found that taurine dietary supplementation could reduce lipid metabolism, enhance antioxidant capacity, and improve hormone levels in Angora rabbits, with 0.2% taurine increasing wool production.

In this study, researchers found that follicular and epidermal transglutaminases are biochemically and immunologically distinct, suggesting the possibility of selectively modifying hair or epidermal proteins.

This study found that epidermal growth factor significantly reduced fibre growth in cultured Tukidale and Romney hair follicles, while cortisol had no effect on follicle growth.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

This study reports that a heparin-based sericin hydrogel encapsulating basic fibroblast growth factor significantly accelerated wound healing in mice by enhancing vascularization, re-epithelialization, and collagen deposition.

This article reviews the complex structure and molecular composition of hair keratins, highlighting their self-assembly process and implications for keratin extraction techniques, but reports no new experimental results.

This study evaluated the protective effects of a hair conditioner containing rice derivatives on natural Caucasian hair using various analysis methods and found that the conditioner, especially with rice germ oil GX-N, effectively improved hair properties even under stress conditions like irradiation.

This article discusses the structure of hair follicles and their significance in evaluating hair disorders, but it does not report any new research findings.

This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.

This review discusses the structure and regenerative potential of hair follicles, highlighting their role in wound healing, stem cell populations, and keratin-based biomaterials, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article illustrates that dermoscopy can quickly diagnose hair breakage due to intrinsic and chemical factors in patients of African descent, although published findings are limited.

This review discusses the structure, functions, and growth cycle of human hair, emphasizing its reduced growth and protective roles, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

This article discusses the structures surrounding hair follicles and introduces aspects like follicle groups and the dermal sheath, but it reports no new research findings.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

This study identified non-structural proteins in preschool children's scalp hair that suggest potential biomarkers for brain development, immune function, and stress response with heritability and age-related differences.

This review discusses advances in understanding hair and hair follicle structure, gene expression, and molecular signals in hair formation, without reporting new clinical findings.

In this study, combined treatment with transglutaminase and keratin significantly repaired damaged hair by improving its structural properties, reducing swelling, and enhancing crosslink activities, as evidenced by microscopy and spectroscopy analyses.

This study observed that mink dermal collagen fibrils undergo structural changes during the hair cycle, with increased fiber thickness and bundle density as minks grow.

This study describes a new method for extracting red mordant dyes from wool fibers using ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and N,N-dimethyl formamide, preserving the fibers for further examination.

This study introduced a new method for extracting red mordant dyes from wool fibers that preserved the fibers for further analysis and allowed for spectrophotometric examination of the dyes' absorption curves.

This paper discusses the use of Digital Volumetric Imaging with fluorescent dyes to visualize and compare the interior structures of six different virgin hair types, reporting no new clinical results.
