This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that transfecting keratinocytes with the 1α-OHase gene enhances local production of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, suggesting a potential new therapy for skin conditions like psoriasis without causing hypercalcemia or resistance.

In this study, Rahim et al. found that keratinocyte differentiation requires changes in polyamine ratios mediated by AMD1, suggesting that targeting polyamine availability could be useful for treating hyperproliferative skin disorders.

This research identified that the constitutive and inducible expression of the Keratin 6 gene in transgenic mice skin is controlled by multiple regulatory elements spread throughout its 5' flanking region.

This study demonstrated that a specific 9-kbp fragment of the bovine keratin 6 gene effectively directs tissue-specific and inducible expression in transgenic mice, suggesting potential applications for targeted gene therapy in hyperproliferative skin conditions.
