research Keratin-Mediated Hair Growth and Its Underlying Biological Mechanism

7 citations , November 2022 in “Communications biology”

This study found that injecting keratin into the skin of mice promoted hair growth, potentially through keratin's interaction with hair-forming cells and changes in the microenvironment.

research Hair Follicle-Specific Keratins And Their Diseases

138 citations , March 2007 in “Experimental cell research”

This review discusses hair keratins and hair follicle-specific epithelial keratins and their association with inherited hair disorders, reporting no new clinical results.

research Functional Analysis of Keratin Components in the Mouse Hair Follicle Inner Root Sheath

23 citations , February 2004 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

Keratin in mouse hair follicles is complex and plays specific roles.

research Expression of E6 and E7 Papillomavirus Oncogenes in the Outer Root Sheath of Hair Follicles Extends the Growth Phase and Bypasses Resting at Telogen

10 citations , October 2000 in “PubMed”

This study found that transgenic mice expressing HPV E6/E7 in the outer root sheath experience continuous hair follicle cycling due to delayed catagen entrance and insensitivity to telogen resting signals.

research Keratin Expression in Basal Cell Carcinomas

128 citations , February 1992 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

The researchers reported that basal cell carcinoma tumor cells strongly express keratins typical of basal keratinocytes and some hair follicle components but lack differentiation markers, suggesting a follicular or pluripotent stem cell origin.

research Expression of Keratin K14 in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle: Insights Into Complex Programs of Differentiation

198 citations , November 1989 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

This study reported that K14 expression patterns and keratin filament organization in human skin's hair follicles differ from those in the epidermis, indicating distinct differentiation programs.

research Citrulline-Containing Basal Cell Carcinomas: Differentiation Toward Hair Structures With Induction of Dermal Hair Papillae

21 citations , September 1968 in “Cancer”

This study identified that keratotic basal cell carcinomas with citrulline-positive keratin and hair papilla-like structures are highly differentiated, which helps distinguish them from squamous carcinomas.
