    Hermelita Winter, Lutz Langbein, Silke Praetzel … Jürgen Schweizer
    Studysummary This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.
