The study reported that mice receiving dynamized Melatonin 6 cH and Lissotriton 6 cH for 14 days exhibited improved coat health and increased endurance in forced swimming tests, with Melatonin-treated mice swimming 2.5 times longer and Lissotriton-treated mice 4 times longer than controls.

Human hair's ability to get wet is complex and can change with treatments, damage, and environment.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

This study identified key long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs involved in primary wool follicle induction in carpet wool sheep, emphasizing their roles in hair follicle development and skin processes.

This study sequenced and analyzed the goat skin transcriptome, revealing genes involved in signal transduction and cell communication that are differentially expressed during hair growth phases, providing insights for Cashmere goat breeding.

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 identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

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.

KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

This study found that keratinocytes derived from the germinative epithelium of ovine hair follicles have extensive in vitro growth potential, challenging the idea that these cells are solely transit-amplifying.

This study found that MEG3-miRNAs are key regulators of the age-dependent crimped wool trait in Tan sheep, likely influencing primary follicle development and degeneration through immune-inflammatory pathways.

This study reports that hair fibers degrade most in acidic sandy clay, while silicone oil treatment is effective for conserving various hair types and artifacts.

This study identified the presence of recognizable organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, in both the keratinized fiber and the hardened inner root sheath of the Romney wool follicle.

This review explores the structure and development of the hair cuticle, highlighting difficulties in studying some aspects and proposing new experimental approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

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 dermal papilla and peribulbar dermal sheath cup cells in mice can both induce hair follicle formation, suggesting they may have similar functional roles in hair growth.

This study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

This study found that while molecular hair structures were nearly identical across individuals, genetic factors seem to influence specific lipid compositions, as seen in identical-patterned hair from parent-child pairs and identical twins, but not fraternal twins.

This review discusses the current understanding of hair photodamage and photodegradation and reports no new findings; it highlights unresolved questions about radiation effects and melanin's role in different hair types.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, specific SNPs in the FST gene were significantly associated with various wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential markers for breeding programs.

Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.

Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.

This study found that unsaturated fatty acids are more abundant in the cortex of human hair than on its surface, and steryl glycoside-like lipids may help bind the cuticle to the cortex.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.
