This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This study found that VE-cadherin and Alk1, traditionally linked to vascular functions, also play crucial roles in maintaining nerve homeostasis in mice during hair growth cycles by modulating certain cell populations.

This study found that phenyl-imidazole sulfonamide derivatives, particularly ISCK03, inhibited c-kit signaling and promoted depigmentation in various experimental settings, suggesting potential use as skin-whitening agents.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

KLHL24-mutant stem cells help understand skin and heart disease.

This study found that alopecia induced by CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer patients occurs more quickly and is more resistant to minoxidil treatment compared to endocrine therapy-induced alopecia.

This study found that certain keratin gene mutations associated with pachyonychia congenita are linked to altered enamel structure and increased risk of dental caries.

This study suggests that Keratin 15 expression in stratified epithelia may be regulated by two distinct mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 pathway for differentiation and FOXM1 for basal cells, challenging its reliability as a sole stem cell marker.

Using a combination of specific cell cycle regulators is better for safely keeping hair root cells alive indefinitely compared to cancer-related methods.

This review summarizes recent findings on keratins 6, 16, and 17, highlighting their role in keratinocyte behavior and nuclear functions, and discusses their potential as biomarkers for various skin pathologies, including damage, inflammation, and cancer, rather than in healthy skin.

This review discusses the state-of-the-art knowledge on pseudoxanthoma elasticum, summarizing recent advancements in genetics, pathomechanisms, and potential treatments but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified polymorphisms in HGT-KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 genes in Argentine llamas that may impact fiber characteristics by altering amino acid residues critical for keratin-associated protein properties.

This study found that altering cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) levels in the bulge region of hair follicles affects the balance of stem cell numbers, potentially influencing hair follicle self-renewal and proliferation.

This study found that among the two highly homologous K16 genes on chromosome 17, only one produced a functional protein due to stronger promoter activity.

This study found that K6a expression in mouse sebaceous gland ducts correlates with Hedgehog signaling, suggesting a role in duct fate.

This study found that selective deletion of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes in adult mice leads to atopic dermatitis-like inflammation and suggests Ctip2 plays a crucial role in skin barrier maintenance and inflammatory regulation.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

This study found that altering CDK4 expression in mice affects the population of keratinocyte stem cells, suggesting a correlation with susceptibility to skin papillomas.

This review discusses the roles of KIT and mast cells in skin physiology and pathology using different genetic models and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest further exploration of KIT deficiency.

In this study, researchers found that size polymorphisms in certain hKAP1 genes are linked to the hKAP1.1B and hKAP1.3 genes, arising from intragenic deletions and duplications in Japanese and Caucasian populations.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study identified a new transcriptional repressor, Zfp157, as a target of Stat6 in the mammary gland, expressing in various tissues during mouse embryogenesis and adulthood.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

This study found that activating PKM2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling enhanced hair regrowth and hair follicle stem cell proliferation in mice, suggesting a potential alopecia treatment strategy.

In this study, researchers identified three pathogenic de novo genetic variants contributing to epidermolysis bullosa simplex in young children, highlighting the complexity of genetic influences and underscoring the need for early genetic screening for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

This study successfully cloned the KAP6.1 gene from Xinjiang fine-wool sheep and found its genetic sequence has high homology with sheep and goat sequences, indicating close genetic relationships.

This study found that epithelial keratin K 6 is associated with hyperkeratotic and ulcerated changes in the gastric pars oesophagea of pigs, suggesting epithelial proliferation plays a role in ulcer development.

In this study, DataDerm revealed that from 2016 to 2022, a majority of patients diagnosed with keratinocyte carcinoma were male, predominantly white, and commonly between 56-75 years old, with most living in urban areas and having a history of non-melanoma skin cancer.
