July 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers found that K17−/− mice suffered more severe hair follicle damage but showed reduced epidermal inflammation after ionizing radiation, with K17's absence leading to aberrant cell cycle progression due to altered p53 genome binding and reduced B-Myb degradation.
June 2026 in “Immunity Inflammation and Disease” In this study, researchers observed that dandruff involves altered keratinocyte activity and a low-grade inflammatory response characterized by increased interleukin-17-producing T-cells and CCL17 levels, but without significant changes in immune cell populations or skin barrier lipids.
