In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

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 found that simultaneously inhibiting both KLK5 and KLK7 proteases completely rescued skin barrier defects in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome, suggesting both should be therapeutic targets.

This study highlights the potential role of the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes in severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, especially males.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

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.

This study found that keratin K1014chim expression in mice did not reduce epidermal cell proliferation but increased susceptibility to benign tumors, challenging previous beliefs about K10's role in inhibiting tumor development.

This study suggests that KRTAP2-3 may serve as a novel biomarker to identify cells in the polyaneuploid cancer cell state, which is linked to therapy resistance and poor prognosis in prostate cancer.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

This study found that in mouse pancreatic β-cells, the disruption of keratin filaments due to a specific mutation in keratin 18 resulted in altered GLUT2 localization, with less GLUT2 present on the plasma membrane compared to cells with normal keratin.

This study found that the K14 promoter exhibited higher activity in skin cell lines compared to other cell lines, while both K14 and K5 promoters were active in all tested cell lines.

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 genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

This study found no association between W locus allele variations and phenotypic traits like eye color, head spotting, and fur length in Turkish Van cats, suggesting other genetic factors should be explored.

This study found that K17 is crucial for the structural integrity and survival of hair-producing cells, with K17 null mice developing alopecia due to hair fragility and follicular alterations.

IL-27 may help prevent hair loss by creating immune-suppressing cells.

In this study, researchers identified nine new sheep keratin genes, highlighting species-specific differences in the expression and compartmentalization of wool-related keratin genes compared to humans.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This review examines the potential of K18 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in epithelial-derived tumors, highlighting its specific expression in tumor tissues and interaction with proteins involved in tumor progression, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

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.

This study introduces the N-K Healing Series, an alternative geometric approach to medicine, claimed to restore tissue fully and eliminate pain without the traditional drawbacks, allegedly achieving results beyond mainstream medical treatments in simulated injury scenarios.

This study found that dimethylarsinic acid significantly accelerates skin tumor development in hair follicle-targeted K6/ODC transgenic mice.

This study reports that during late embryogenesis and early postnatal development, K79-expressing keratinocytes change and die independently of sebaceous glands to form the hair follicle opening, potentially influencing conditions like ingrown hairs or acne.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

This study found that "early" transit amplifying cells, marked by CD271, are the first keratinocyte stem cell progenitors with distinct features, playing a significant role in early epidermal differentiation and regeneration.

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.
