The authors reported that 4-O-methylhonokiol decreased TGF-β1-induced cell cycle arrest and oxidative stress markers in human keratinocyte cells, suggesting a potential protective role in TGF-β1-mediated cell cycle regulation.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This study demonstrated radiocalcium uptake in skin, eye, cartilage, and mucous glands, with the highest concentration in the hair follicle's keratogenous zone.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

This review provides an in-depth analysis of the structure and function of c-kit activation, and its role in both normal physiological and pathological conditions, with no new research findings reported.

This study found that human hair keratin genes contain a few simple sequence repeats, with one repeat in the exon of KRT31 and additional repeats in introns, varying in length compared to their orthologues.

In this study, YK11 was found to promote osteoblast cell proliferation and differentiation through activation of non-genomic signaling pathways in mouse osteoblast cells.

This article reviews the complex structure and molecular composition of hair keratins, highlighting their self-assembly process and implications for keratin extraction techniques, but reports no new experimental results.

In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

The study reports that the AVET system showed higher efficiency in transfecting cultured human keratinocytes compared to SuperFect and PrimeFector, with AVET reaching levels of enzyme activity similar to normal cells in keratinocytes from lamellar ichthyosis patients.

This editorial reviews the roles and therapeutic potential of inward rectifying K+ channels in various physiological processes, highlighting their importance in health and disease but provides no new experimental results.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

This study identified eight alleles of the caprine KAP13-3 gene in cashmere goats, which could influence gene expression and cashmere fiber characteristics.

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 reviews prior research using transgenic K6/ODC mice and demonstrates that elevated polyamines in epithelial cells contribute significantly to skin tumor development and progression by stimulating proliferation, altering cell signaling and chromatin remodeling, and affecting immune functionality, amongst other mechanisms.

This study highlights nasopharyngeal carcinoma as the fourth most common cancer in Indonesia, noting that its etiology involves genetic and environmental factors, while early detection often utilizes serology and imaging, with diagnosis confirmed by biopsy and histopathology.

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.

In this study, the ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in mouse skin epithelial cells led to altered hair shape and length, highlighting their role in regulating hair follicle gene expression and chromatin structure.

This study identified certain benzopyran derivatives with a bulky tert-butyloxycarbonylamino group as effective KATP channel openers that inhibit insulin secretion in rat pancreatic islets.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

This study found that keratin-associated protein nanoparticles extracted from human hair significantly reduced clotting time, suggesting their potential as a hemostatic agent for bleeding control, though further research is needed to understand their precise role in coagulation processes.

In this randomized, placebo-controlled study, Kūlaris supplementation significantly improved quality of life for participants with mild-to-severe acne over 12 weeks, though no significant changes in general skin health measures were observed compared to placebo.

This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.
