September 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that enhanced wound healing in oral mucosa involves a SOX2-regulated transcriptional network which includes increased expression of keratin K75, and interaction of K75 with the LINC complex may play a crucial role in promoting rapid wound repair.

January 2011 in “Dental Medicine Research” This study suggests that Keratin 6hf may be a potential marker of oral squamous cell carcinoma and could play a role in its progression, though further research is needed to understand its function.
April 2018 in “D-Scholarship@Pitt (University of Pittsburgh)” This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.
July 2017 in “Cancer Research” This study identified a radio-resistant population of Krt15+ stem cells in the mouse small intestine that can initiate tumors, suggesting potential targets for colon cancer therapy.

October 2017 in “Frontiers in Physiology” This article proposes a hypothesis that KRT75, a protein found in hair follicles, was evolutionarily co-opted by ameloblasts during the development of prismatic enamel in synapsids, but reports no new results.
