This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.

This study developed a mathematical model indicating that the amino acid sequences of intermediate filament proteins, rather than flexibility differences, significantly impact assembly rates.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
