This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This study identified dynamic changes in DNA methylation associated with different growth stages in Tan sheep, which may offer insights to retain their valuable curly fleece as they age.

This study concluded that MEX3A is critical for maintaining Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells by regulating the PPARγ pathway, impacting intestinal homeostasis during postnatal development in mice.

This study identified that in pig embryos, the miR-29a-5p/EDAR/lncRNA627.1 ceRNA complex plays a critical role in inhibiting hair placode precursor cells proliferation and regulating hair placode formation through the suppression of EDAR expression, which may provide insights into similar mechanisms affecting human hair conditions.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.

This study found that both epithelial and hair keratins are expressed in beard hair medulla cells, exhibiting unique patterns and interactions distinct from other hair follicle and epithelial cells.

In this study, Akt2 and the oncogenic protein Tcl1 were found to be essential for early blastomere proliferation and embryo development in preimplantation mouse embryos.

This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

This study reports new monilethrix cases in Venezuela, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, expanding the known mutational spectrum of the disorder with novel mutations in KRT81, KRT83, and KRT86 genes.

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study categorizes the human fetal vaginal epithelium into four areas with distinct transcriptomic profiles, aiding potential advancements in vaginal reconstruction and drug delivery.

This study identified KRT82 as a significant Alopecia Areata risk gene, finding that rare damaging variants are linked to elevated immune cell infiltration around hair follicles in affected individuals.

This study found that the mammalian Hr protein can interact with the p53 pathway by binding to a specific p53 response element, influencing the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle control.

This study found that polymorphisms in KRTAP13.1, KRTAP27-1, and KRTAP24-1 were significantly associated with fiber diameter in Jiangnan cashmere goats, which may aid future breeding and conservation efforts.

This study found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

This study discovered that a network controlled by the gene p63 is crucial for keratinocyte differentiation and is linked to MYC through cell adhesion-related pathways.

This study found that NKIRAS2 expression affects skin tumor suppression and HRAS-driven transformation in mice, indicating its role in carcinogenesis depends on expression level and cellular context.

This study presents evidence that keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is caused by a mutation in the connexin 26 gene, expanding the gene's known involvement in various disorders.

This review discusses the mechanisms of keratin 17 regulation in diseases such as psoriasis and cancers but presents no new experimental findings, calling for further exploration of anti-K17 therapies.

CD34 is a marker for isolating stem-like cells in mouse hair follicles.

This letter to the editor describes a case of acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a Korean female adolescent, but no new research findings are reported.

In this mouse model study, researchers found that deleting the ASH2L gene in epidermal progenitor cells led to thinner epidermal layers, delayed hair follicle development, and reduced epidermal stem cell pools, with alterations in genes related to hair follicle development and the Notch signaling pathway.

This study found that nestin-expressing progenitor cells, capable of becoming ORS keratinocytes, are present in both developing and adult mouse hair follicles.

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.

This study found that PRC2 plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis by supporting progenitor cell proliferation and limiting secretory lineage differentiation.

This study demonstrated that RNA interference targeting mutant keratin genes can effectively correct hair shaft structural defects in a mouse model by reducing mutant gene expression.

This study suggests that polyamines regulate CK2 enzyme activity and its subcellular distribution, as demonstrated in mouse models and cell cultures with elevated levels of ornithine decarboxylase.
