Purification and Calcium Dependence of Transglutaminases from Sheep Hair Follicles [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1997 To study the calcium sensitivity of sheep hair follicle transglutaminase, which was reportedly calcium-independent [H. W. Harding and G.E. Rogers, Biochemistry, 11, 2858-2863 (1972)], the enzyme was purified from a homogenate of merino sheep hair follicles and its calcium dependence was examined.

Heat stress effects on sheep: Are hair sheep more heat resistant?
Theriogenology, 2020 Climatic variables can trigger physiological, biochemical, haematological and hormonal alterations that influence the maintenance of homeothermy and can affect production and productivity in sheep. Different mechanisms are responsible for tolerance to heat stress (HS) including coat and skin colour, body size, fat distribution, physiological reactions ...

Increasing GSH-Px Activity and Activating Wnt Pathway Promote Fine Wool Growth in FGF5-Edited Sheep
CellsFibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) plays key roles in promoting the transition from the anagen to catagen during the hair follicle cycle. The sheep serves as an excellent model for studying hair growth and is frequently utilized in various research ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.
