This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

This study found that in male patients, a lower right-handed 2D:4D digit ratio combined with older age correlated with increased severity risk of androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that human hair keratin-based gradient hydrogels incorporating silver ions may serve as promising dermal templates for wound healing, demonstrating favorable mechanical properties, cell interaction, and antibacterial activity.

In this pilot study, the niostem device, a wearable device delivering low-level electrical stimulation, significantly increased hair density by 19.3% and thickness by 8.8% in male androgenetic alopecia patients over six months without reported adverse events.

This study indicates that MAGE-11 modulates androgen receptor transcriptional activity through F-box interactions, independent of the activation function 2 pathway, revealing a novel mechanism for androgen receptor regulation.

In this study, researchers confirmed linkage of a form of hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia to chromosome 12 in a Pakistani family, suggesting a possible non-coding mutation in KRTHB5 or a mutation in an unknown gene.

This case report discusses a 69-year-old woman with alopecia areata who presented with a growing lesion on her hand, raising diagnostic considerations during her appointment for scalp steroid injections.

This case report describes a young female with a rare combination of 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis and MRKH syndrome, highlighting associated infertility challenges.

This study reported that pulverizing hair samples significantly improves the precision of testosterone measurement, with higher testosterone concentrations observed in men than in women.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This study found that the incidence of hyperkalemia is low among transgender, gender nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals, particularly those under 45, but increases with age.

This study found that keratin K1014chim expression in mice did not reduce epidermal cell proliferation but increased susceptibility to benign tumors, challenging previous beliefs about K10's role in inhibiting tumor development.

This case report describes an unusual nail tumor termed "onycholemmal horn" in a 77-year-old woman, highlighting its distinct histopathological features and the importance of excisional biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

In this study, sandalore was found to activate OR2AT4, which inhibits senescent cell traits and restores proliferation in human keratinocytes, suggesting potential anti-aging applications.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This study found that a mutation in the seventh exon of the KRT86 gene plays a major role in the pathogenesis of monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study explored a mother and daughter with loose anagen hair syndrome linked to wooly hair, identifying an intronic variant in the KRT71 gene that affects hair keratin splicing, thus broadening the spectrum of KRT71-related disorders.

In this study, among Indian patients with triple-negative breast cancer, Ki-67 expression levels were high but not significantly associated with treatment response to a neoadjuvant docetaxel-carboplatin regimen, which showed complete clinical, imaging, and pathological response rates of 39.13%, 34.78%, and 47.61%, respectively.

This study demonstrated that a nanoemulsion hair tonic containing 7% candlenut oil accelerated hair growth more effectively in Mus musculus than both lower concentrations and a commercial ginseng tonic.

Keratin 17 is important for hair and nail structure and affects pachyonychia congenita symptoms.

This study details a 15-year-old girl with secondary amenorrhea and other symptoms who was found to have a pituitary mass causing multiple hormonal deficiencies, diagnosed as lymphocytic hypophysitis.

In this study, researchers used iron ion coordination to successfully create a molecular knot with three organic ligand strands and eight crossings.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing mimickers of patterned hair loss and assessing donor sites before hair transplant surgery, and reports no new clinical results.

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.

This study identified PTEN as a key regulator in non-healing venous leg ulcers, suppressing immune responses and lymphangiogenesis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for promoting VLU healing.
