This research observed that sheep and rabbit KAP6 genes, expressed in hair follicle cells, have high sequence similarity and indicate conservation due to evolutionary selection pressures.

This study found that miRNA-24 downregulates the KLF6 gene, influencing coat color by affecting melanogenesis pathways in Cashmere goats, and that miRNA-24 inhibition increased melanin content in mice.

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.

This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.

This study found that in chimaeric mice models, the pigment distribution and pattern were influenced by the sash genotype, demonstrating the melanocyte-autonomous nature of the beige and leaden loci.

RNase L suppresses regeneration in mammals.

Basal cell carcinoma shows keratin patterns similar to undifferentiated hair follicle cells.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

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.

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 found that BRG1 is crucial for keratinocyte migration during skin wound healing, as its suppression impairs wound closure by inhibiting migration without affecting cell proliferation or apoptosis.

This study reported that recombinant human hair keratins, K37 and K81, showed higher purity and enhanced fibrin clot formation compared to traditional extracts, reducing bleeding time and blood loss in rat injury models.

This study found that a novel IKZF1 mutation, p.L188V, is linked to juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and alters B-cell activation by disrupting normal DNA binding.

This study found that phenyl-imidazole sulfonamide derivatives, particularly ISCK03, inhibited c-kit signaling and promoted depigmentation in various experimental settings, suggesting potential use as skin-whitening agents.

This study found that the creation of hair follicle lumens in mice is driven by the outward migration of keratin 79-positive cells, suggesting a novel mechanism for generating hollow cores in hair follicles.

This study found that C8/144B antibody exclusively binds to the hair follicle bulge and not the epidermal stratum basale, with cytokeratin 19 serving as a key marker of certain basal keratinocytes that decrease with age.

This study in mice found that WWP2 facilitates odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation by targeting PTEN for degradation, thereby enhancing KLF5 activity, which may suggest its crucial role in dental development.

K39 and K40 are the last keratins expressed in hair development, completing the hair keratin catalog.

This study provides evidence for K1 and K10 derivatives' presence in the inner root sheath and hair cuticle, suggesting that these hair follicle parts may follow familiar keratinization principles.

This study found that the expressions of CDK inhibitors p21waf1/cip1 and p27kip1 were higher during the anagen phase compared to telogen, suggesting a role in follicular epithelial cell differentiation.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

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.

This study explored the epigenetic mechanisms of dermal fibroblast progenitor differentiation and found that the repressive chromatin profile from H3K27me3 prevents these progenitors from reforming skin in allograft assays, despite their multipotent potential.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study found that knock-down of keratin 15 in various cell lines affected cell spreading, morphology, migration, differentiation, and proliferation, suggesting its role in maintaining the stem cell nature of keratinocytes.

KLHL24-mutant stem cells help understand skin and heart disease.

This study found that K79+ keratinocytes migrate outward to help form the hair follicle lumen both during development and adult regeneration, revealing a novel mechanism of hair follicle formation in mice.

In this study on Arabidopsis, the researchers identified CIPK13 and CIPK18 as crucial genes for root hair growth, finding that deficiencies in these genes resulted in shorter root hairs and reduced growth rates due to altered calcium oscillations.

In this study, the researchers identified key genes with differential m6A methylation involved in cashmere fiber growth, suggesting these modifications may play a significant role in this process.
