In this study, researchers found that the absence of type I or type II keratins in mice leads to severe skin barrier defects, highlighting keratins' crucial role in epidermal structure and function.

In this study, hair composted with various organic materials, and inoculated with Bacillus subtilis, showed improved degradation and nutrient release, but temperatures below 33℃ limited composting efficiency, suggesting bacterial augmentation could aid sustainable management of keratin-rich waste.

In this preclinical study, researchers found that combining equal ratios of high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments and low molecular weight keratin-associated proteins from human hair led to the most extensive fibrinogen precipitation, suggesting potential for developing effective hair protein-based hemostatic materials.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.
