This study identified a specific genetic variant in the CCHCR1 gene that may contribute to alopecia areata through impaired keratinization, suggesting an alternative mechanism beyond autoimmune causes.

This study found that the LEF-1 binding site acts as an enhancer element for the wool keratin intermediate filament gene promoter in hair follicle cortex, with specificity regulated by additional factors.

This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

This study found that the truncated hHb1-DeltaN transcript in breast cancer cells is produced by a cryptic intron promoter and responds to DNA demethylation, potentially altering cancer cell adhesion.

This study found that the DKK3-CKAP4 signaling axis is involved in fibroimmune remodeling in androgenetic alopecia and that targeting this pathway may restore a regenerative hair follicle environment, offering a potential therapeutic strategy to counteract hair follicle miniaturization.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

In this study, researchers observed distinct morphological differences in hair follicles of mutant mouse genotypes, influenced by the expression levels of keratin2-6g, which is essential for proper hair follicle development.

This study identified and sequenced several keratin cDNA clones showing distinct expression patterns in mouse epithelia, with in situ hybridization highlighting differences in keratin distribution between normal and hyperproliferative tissues.

The KDM1 gene helps Venus flytraps close by managing potassium ions.

In this study, researchers found that recombinant human HAPLN1 promoted hair growth in mice and human hair matrix cells by activating specific signaling pathways, suggesting it may offer a potential hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than existing medications.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.

This study observed that disrupting the Pnkp gene in adult mice resulted in a premature aging-like phenotype, suggesting PNKP's vital role in maintaining normal growth and survival of certain progenitor cell populations.

Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

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 discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.

This study found a recurrent nonsense mutation in the HR gene linked to atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families, suggesting whole exome sequencing as an efficient method for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

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.

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that the HS III element in the K14 gene's regulatory sequence promotes gene expression in inner root sheath keratinocytes, highlighting cooperative interactions in keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.1 gene were significantly associated with cashmere weight, length, and guard hair length in Chinese Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, but not with fibre diameter.

This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.
