Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are the structural proteins of hair fibers and are thought to play an important role in determining the physical properties of hair fibers.

Hair Structures Affecting Hair Appearance
Cosmetics, 2019 Optical factors affecting hair appearance are reviewed based on hair structures from macroscopic to microscopic viewpoints. Hair appearance is the result of optical events, such as reflection, refraction, scattering, and absorption.

Efferent control of the electrical and mechanical properties of hair cells in the bullfrog's sacculus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Hair cells in the auditory, vestibular, and lateral-line systems respond to mechanical stimulation and transmit information to afferent nerve fibers. The sensitivity of mechanoelectrical transduction is modulated by the efferent pathway, whose activity ...

USAGE OF HORSE HAIR AS A TEXTILE FIBER AND EVALUATION OF COLOR PROPERTIES [PDF]
Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork, 2019 The usage of horse hair as a textile material can be traced to the old ages. Although many animal hair fibers have lost their importance due to the introduction of synthetic fibers into our lives, special fibers such as horsehair have been able to ...

Modeling the production of belly button lint
Scientific Reports, 2018 We show that respiratory cycle provides a periodic traction force for the production of belly button lint or navel fluff. The relative motion induced between clothing and skin, during breathing, transports the clothing fibers over the abdominal skin via ...

Looking into ‘hair tonics’ for cotton fiber initiation [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 SummaryCotton fiber is the most important source of cellulose for the global textile industry. These hair‐like single‐celled trichomes develop from ovule epidermis. They are classified into long spinnable lint and short fuzz. A key objective in the cotton industry is to breed elite cultivars with fuzzless seeds carrying high lint yield. Molecular basis

Automated Measurement of Spatially Resolved Hair–Hair Single Fiber Adhesion [PDF]
Langmuir, 2019 The adhesion force between individual human hair fibers in a crosshair geometry was measured by observing their natural bending and adhesive jumps out of contact, using optical video microscopy. The hair fibers' natural elastic responses, calibrated by measuring their natural resonant frequencies, were used to measure the forces.
