In this study, human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells promoted Achilles tendon repair in rabbits by upregulating collagen types I and III, suggesting potential as a treatment for tendinopathy.

This article discusses intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and preoperative documentation of its risk factors, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to management.

This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

In this case report, a 76-year-old male had an eyelid lesion that mimicked squamous cell carcinoma but was diagnosed as benign inverted follicular keratosis after surgical excision, underscoring the importance of distinguishing between the two for proper management.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of inverted follicular keratosis, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for accurate differentiation from malignancies.

This review discusses risk factors for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, emphasizing tamsulosin and other α1 blockers, and underscores the importance of preoperative screening to mitigate surgical complications, but it reports no new results.

Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.

This study identified that the Wave complex proteins ABI1 and Wave2 play a crucial role in regulating epidermal shape and growth during skin development, notably influencing SOX9 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.

This article discusses the side effects of interferon beta therapy for MS, including flu-like symptoms and autoimmune reactions, and provides guidance on their management but does not report new clinical findings.

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

This review describes techniques to manage intraoperative floppy iris syndrome linked to alpha-1 blocker use in cataract surgery, highlighting the need for patient disclosure of medication use but reports no new clinical results.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

This case study reports on a mother and daughter with ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia, and photophobia, noting consistent keratotic eruptions during the mother's pregnancies that improved postpartum.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.

Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.

This study found that current use of benzodiazepines, α1-blockers (like tamsulosin, alfuzosin, terazosin), finasteride, and possibly rivastigmine is associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome in cataract surgery patients.

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

This case report describes a presumptive case of ichthyosis fetalis in a cross-bred lamb and highlights the need for this rare condition in sheep to be considered by veterinarians in the differential diagnosis of dermatopathies.

This study found that prolonged intermittent fasting in diet-induced obese mice led to increased levels of inositol monophosphates in white adipose tissue, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced body weight and fat mass, suggesting a novel metabolic adaptation mechanism.

This study mapped 65 intermediate filament genes in the human genome, highlighting that the majority of keratin-related sequences are inactive pseudogenes, notably for keratins 8 and 18.

This review discusses the range of diseases caused by mutations in keratin intermediate filament genes and presents no new clinical findings; the authors note the diverse phenotypes within this molecular category.

This article reviews the regulation of gene expression and assembly of intermediate filaments but presents no new findings.

This meta-analysis reports that male sex, hypertension, tamsulosin, finasteride, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics are significantly associated with increased risk of developing intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

This study found that type XVII collagen (COL17) regulates interfollicular epidermis proliferation in both neonatal and aged mice through Wnt signaling, suggesting its potential as a target for anti-aging skin strategies.

This study concluded that adding a topical agent to intense pulsed light therapy significantly improved hair reduction and patient satisfaction in Pakistani women with idiopathic facial hirsutism compared to light therapy alone, without increasing adverse effects.

This study found that medications including benzodiazepines, quetiapine, and certain alpha-blockers, along with hypertension and short axial length, were independently associated with an increased risk of Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome during cataract surgery.

This study found that Lgr5 and Lgr6 stem cells both activated wound-healing genes, but only Lgr5 stem cells changed their identity to contribute to new skin formation during wound repair.

This study found that COL17 deficiency in neonatal mice causes abnormal skin cell proliferation due to disrupted Wnt signaling, while replenishing or overexpressing COL17 can reverse this effect in both neonatal and aged skin.
