This study found that Krtap11-1 may play an important role in keratin-bundle assembly in the hair cortex, influencing the physical properties of hair.

This case report described a 39-year-old male with 47XXY/46XX mosaic Klinefelter syndrome who presented with common features of the condition and male pattern baldness seen in his family.

In this study, the researchers found that KAP3.1, KRTAP 8-1, and KRTAP 24-1 genes positively correlated with the growth cycle of cashmere in Inner Mongolia goats, aligning with the observed hair cycle phases.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.

This study found that UC.145 influences DKK1 methylation and Wnt signaling in gastric cancer, with implications for patient survival and its potential as a predictive biomarker.

Human hair keratin genes hHa2 and hHb1 are located on chromosomes 17 and 12.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

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

In this study, researchers identified a novel KRT74 gene mutation associated with autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a Pakistani family, expanding the known genetic causes of the disorder.

In a transgenic mouse model, this study found that overexpression of keratin 16 in skin keratinocytes led to hyperkeratosis and increased EGF receptor signaling, altering skin cell behavior and structure.

This study presents the N‑K Healing Series, a geometric approach to medicine that claims to restore tissue geometry, eliminate pain, and regenerate burns more effectively than traditional treatments, with simulations demonstrating significant improvements in healing outcomes and reduced scarring.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

In this study, the researchers reported that Krox20 plays a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and hair development, influencing stem cell maintenance and cell survival through the modulation of cellular pathways.

In this study, rabbit esophageal epithelial cells were found to produce K4 and K13 keratins in suprabasal cells, forming disulfide-crosslinked dimers that may support the physical stability of the esophageal lining.

This study characterized keratin-based biomaterials that self-assemble into hydrogels, demonstrating their potential to achieve hemostasis in a lethal liver injury model through specific biomaterial-receptor interactions.

This study found that ectopic expression of the lymphoid-enhancer factor can induce K17 protein in the skin, suggesting a link between skin development and wound repair processes in mice.

This study found that micro-niches within hair follicles create heterogeneity among stem cells and transit-amplifying cells, leading to specialized progenitors that control tissue morphogenesis and regeneration.

In this study, cutaneous lupus erythematosus was associated with significantly impaired quality of life, particularly affecting emotional well-being, compared to other dermatologic and chronic medical conditions.

This study found that synchronized signals in the microenvironment regulate stem cell lineage choices in hair follicles by influencing chromatin dynamics during regeneration.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

This study found that the zinc transporter ZIP10 is crucial for epidermal development, as it influences the activity of p63, promoting epidermal morphogenesis.

This study found that Wnt secretion is important for maintaining skin homeostasis in mice, as Evi-deficient mice developed psoriasis-like skin lesions and had an imbalance in immune cell populations.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This study reported that 1% bexarotene gel was well tolerated and possibly effective for inducing partial hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but more rigorous trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study found significant associations between certain MICA variants and haplotypes with alopecia areata, suggesting MICA as a potential candidate gene linked to the disease's susceptibility and severity.

This review discusses the biological roles and diagnostic significance of keratins in mammalian colon epithelial cells and reports no new clinical results.
