    TLDR Keratins are key to developing and regenerating hair follicles for treating hair loss.
    The document discussed the role of keratins, a complex protein family, in the regular function of epithelial tissues, including the epidermis and its appendages like hair follicles. It highlighted the importance of keratins in the context of tissue engineering for hair follicles, suggesting that understanding and manipulating these proteins could be crucial for advancements in this field. The study emphasized the potential of keratins to influence the development and regeneration of hair follicles, which could have significant implications for treating hair loss and related conditions.
