The trends of "fashionalization", "personalization" and "customization" of wool fabrics have prompted the textile industry to change the original processing design based on the experience of engineers and trial production. In order to adapt to the promotion of intelligent production, the microstructure of wool fabrics is introduced into the finishing process. This article presents an automated method to extract the microstructure from the micro-CT data of woven wool fabrics. Firstly, image processing was performed on the 3D micro-CT images of the fabric. The raw grayscale data were converted into eigenvectors of the structure tensor to segment the individual yarns. These data were then used to calculate the three parameters of diameter, spacing and the path of the center points of the yarn for the microstructure. The experimental results showed that the proposed method was quite accurate and robust on woven single-ply tweed fabrics.

Wool quality is a crucial economic trait in Angora rabbits, closely linked to hair follicle (HF) growth and development. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of key genes regulating HF growth and wool fiber formation is essential. In the study, fine- and coarse-wool groups were identified based on HF morphological characteristics of Zhexi Angora rabbits.

Development of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO) dyeing technology for natural fabrics and their blended fabrics is essential for the textile industry due to environmental and economic considerations. Wool (W), polyester (PET) and nylon (N) fabrics and their wool/polyester (W/PET) and wool/nylon (W/N) blended fabrics were dyed in SC-CO medium with a synthesized reactive disperse dye containing a vinylsulphone (VS) reactive group, which behaves as a disperse dye for synthetic fibers and a reactive dye for protein fibers. The SC-CO dyeing performance of all fabrics was investigated in terms of color strength, fixation, colorimetric and fastness measurements and compared with the conventional aqueous dyeing method.

Environmental awareness has led industries and consumers to replace products derived from oil resources with products derived from natural sources. In the case of the composite materials industry, the replacement of synthetic fibres with natural fibres has increased in recent years. To study the influence that different types of natural fibres and different textile manufacturing techniques have on the mechanical properties of composites, bio-based epoxy matrix composites reinforced with different natural animal fibres were produced, some reinforced with sheep's wool and others with dog wool, which were later subjected to bending and tensile tests.

Article Synopsis
- Cashmere, a valuable fiber from Cashmere goats, relies on dermal papilla cells for hair growth and is influenced by microRNAs, particularly miR-144.
- The study examined how miR-144 interacts with the Lhx2 gene, using various techniques to analyze this relationship in cultured dermal papilla cells.
- Results showed that miR-144 directly targets Lhx2, reducing its expression and impacting hair growth dynamics, which could lead to advancements in cashmere production and treatments for hair growth issues.

Sorption thermodynamics and kinetics of 100 % artificial keratin fibers with acid dyes have been studied to understand the surface properties, dyeability, and suitability for industrial applications. For a sustainable textile fiber industry, affordable biobased fibers with good dyeability and performance properties are essential for commercial acceptance. Artificial keratin fibers developed from waste feathers have already demonstrated excellent strength and wet stability due to their high degree of disulfide crosslinkages and can be cost-effective as well.
