September 2011 in “Acta biomaterialia” This study observed that increasing the γ-kerateine content in meta-kerateine materials led to reduced elasticity, solidity, and hydrolytic stability, and decreased hepatocyte attachment support.
April 2025 in “Veterinary Dermatology” This study observed that dermoscopy is a useful technique for distinguishing between infundibular keratinising acanthoma and follicular cysts in dogs, with specific dermoscopic features noted for each.
January 2023 in “Doria (University of Helsinki)” This study found that keratin 7 protein expression increased in colon cancer epithelial-derived cells when treated with neutrophil and macrophage conditioned media, suggesting immune cell-derived factors may influence keratin expression.
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.
