Research cited in this study

14 / 14 results

research Keratinocyte Differentiation in Psoriatic Scalp: Morphology and Expression of Epithelial Keratins

63 citations , July 2006 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that keratin K17 is induced in the suprabasal layer of psoriatic scalp epidermis during epidermal hyperproliferation, suggesting it is not specific to hair follicles.

research Localization of Merkel Cells at Hairless and Hairy Human Skin Sites Using Keratin 18

28 citations , September 1995 in “Biochemistry and Cell Biology”

This study localized Merkel cells in human skin, finding them in the basal layer of glabrous skin at palms and soles, and in the interfollicular epidermis and isthmus region of hair follicles.

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 Keratin 19: Predicted Amino Acid Sequence and Broad Tissue Distribution Suggest It Evolved from Keratinocyte Keratins

research Patterns of Expression of Trichocytic and Epithelial Cytokeratins in Mammalian Tissues

124 citations , December 1988 in “Differentiation”

This study found that T cytokeratins appear more gradually and with complex coexpression patterns in developing nail structures compared to the more abrupt transition in hair follicles.

research Patterns of Expression of Trichocytic and Epithelial Cytokeratins in Mammalian Tissues: Human and Bovine Hair Follicles

248 citations , April 1988 in “Differentiation”

In this study, researchers observed that trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins have distinct expression patterns within various human and bovine hair follicle cells, contributing to understanding hair follicle development and growth.

research The Dermal Papilla and Maintenance of Hair Growth

38 citations , January 1988

research Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle: Hyperproliferative Keratins Consistently Expressed in Outer Root Sheath Cells In Vivo and In Vitro

135 citations , November 1987 in “Differentiation”

This study found that cultured outer root sheath cells from human hair follicles expressed a keratin profile similar to their in vivo environment, indicating environmental influence on keratin expression.

research Differential Expression of Keratin 19 in Normal Human Epithelial Tissues Revealed by Monospecific Monoclonal Antibodies

159 citations , October 1986 in “The Histochemical Journal”

research Expression of Epidermal Keratins and Filaggrin During Human Fetal Skin Development

292 citations , October 1985 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

This study observed that the expression of certain keratins during human epidermal development marks the tissue's commitment to stratification and keratinization processes.

research Growth of the Hair

521 citations , January 1954 in “Physiological Reviews”

Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.

research The Hair Cycle of the Mouse and Its Importance in the Study of Sequences of Experimental Carcinogenesis

111 citations , March 1951 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This article discusses the hair cycle of mice and its relevance in studying experimental carcinogenesis sequences, but it reports no new research findings.
