This article describes a new instrument, the KD spreader, designed to help novice physicians perform follicular unit extraction hair transplantation with reduced trauma and operator fatigue, but it does not report new clinical results.

KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

This abstract reviews the role of the human KRT 16 wild-type allele in skin and hair development and its association with certain genetic skin disorders, without presenting new findings.

In this study, researchers identified the c.296C>T (p.T99I) variant in the KRT32 gene, which co-segregates with loose anagen hair syndrome, and found it decreases binding affinity to KRT82, potentially weakening hair anchorage.

This study shows that keratin 2e exhibits distinct temporal and regional expression patterns in fetal epidermis, suggesting different regulatory and functional roles from other epidermal keratins.

This study analyzed the genetic variations of the KAP20-1 gene in Chinese Tan sheep lambs and found that the G variant was linked to an increased mean fibre curvature in their fine wool fibres, potentially influencing breeding strategies for this wool trait.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study found that KAP7.1 and KAP8.2 genes were significantly more expressed in secondary hair follicles than primary follicles, suggesting their role in regulating cashmere fiber diameter.

This study identified key cells and pathways needed for the development of touch receptor patterns in mouse skin, notably that certain keratinocytes are crucial for innervation patterns, while Merkel cells and BMP signaling have distinct roles.

This study found that the transcription factor CAP1 negatively regulates KRT83 expression in Tan sheep, possibly influencing their curly hair phenotype.

This study found that regulatory sequences crucial for inducing K6a expression in response to epidermal injury are located in specific upstream regions of the K6a gene in transgenic mice.

This study found that TPA treatment induced expression of keratins K6 and K16 in mouse epidermis, with K6 expressed across all cell layers and K16 only in post-mitotic cells.

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.

This case report highlights the association of three CX26 gene mutations, particularly the D50N mutation, with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome and its potential role in scalp squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer development in a patient.

This study found that depletion of KRT17 in endometrial cancer reduced cell growth, motility, and angiogenesis, suggesting KRT17 as a potential therapeutic target.

In this study, researchers identified two types of potassium channels, BK and Kv4.2, in rat Merkel cells and reported that these channels play important roles in repolarizing action potentials and maintaining resting membrane potentials, potentially influencing tactile encoding in these cells.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.2 gene in Chinese Inner Mongolia cashmere goats are associated with variations in cashmere fibre diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for this trait.

Keratin 17 is important for hair and nail structure and affects pachyonychia congenita symptoms.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.

This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.

This study found that KF19418 stimulated hair follicle growth in vitro and accelerated hair regrowth in a mouse alopecia model, with effects comparable to minoxidil.

This study found that specific variants of the KAP6-1 gene in cashmere-producing goats were associated with changes in fiber diameter and length, suggesting potential as genetic markers for fiber improvement.

This study identified a new gene involved in woolly hair by linking a homozygous variant in KRT25 to autosomal recessive woolly hair in two Pakistani families.

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 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.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This research reports that KCV and its palmitoylated derivatives show strong effectiveness in strengthening hair proteins, indicating their potential for use in advanced hair care products.

This study found that K33A was significantly upregulated in lustrous Magra wool follicles, while other keratin and KAP genes showed downregulation, impacting wool's physical properties like luster.
