December 2005 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” This study found that while malignant pilomatricomas maintain some keratin expression patterns seen in benign counterparts, they notably express additional epithelial keratins, potentially influencing tumor calcification.

,
November 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This study suggests that onychopapilloma may originate from the nail bed rather than the nail matrix, with nail bed-related keratins and HK31 potentially serving as diagnostic markers.
This study observed that heavy draft horses with verrucous pastern dermatitis showed significantly increased expression of keratins K6 and K16, suggesting a phylogenetically conserved keratin expression pattern in response to skin inflammation and proliferation.

January 2003 in “Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery” This study indicates that nail-matrical fibroblasts can induce hard keratin expression in non-nail-matrical keratinocytes, suggesting potential for using non-nail-matrical epidermal grafts to treat nail injuries.
