Prolactin: A Novel Neuroendocrine Regulator of Human Keratin Expression In Situ

    January 2010 in “ The FASEB Journal ”
    Yuval Ramot, Tamás Bı́ró, Stephan Tiede … Ralf Paus
    Studysummary This study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.
