This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

In this study, EPC-K, a compound with antioxidant and moisturizing effects, was found to decompose significantly under certain conditions, impacting its stability in quasi drug hair-growing products.

High MUC-18/MCAM levels in blood indicate a worse outlook for melanoma patients.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins form part of the developing exocuticle and a-layer in hair fiber cuticle cells, while cornified envelope proteins were absent.

This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.

This article reviews the role of keratins in epithelial function and structure, discussing their involvement in growth control, organelle functions, and pathomechanisms of disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that patients with age-related cataracts had significantly lower levels of manganese, selenium, vanadium, and zinc in their serum compared to healthy controls, with low serum selenium and zinc levels showing an independent association with an increased risk of cataracts.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.

This study documented the first confirmed infections of Trichophyton bullosum in donkeys in Africa, indicating equines as primary hosts and highlighting the potential underestimation of this pathogen's prevalence.

In this proteomic analysis, the researchers found that transitioning from crimped to straight wool in Tan sheep is linked to significant changes in wool protein expression, revealing distinct patterns of keratins and keratin-associated proteins that could influence wool quality and economic value.

This study found that several newly synthesized dihydrobenzopyran compounds inhibited insulin secretion and had vasorelaxant activity, with some more potent than reference KATP channel activators, though compound 21 functioned as a Ca2+ entry blocker.

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

This review discusses immunohistological and immunofluorescent methods for studying the human hair follicle cell cycle, reporting no new results, and suggests its potential for advancing cell cycle research.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

Finasteride doesn't raise acute pancreatitis risk.

This review summarizes the cell type distribution and functional significance of human keratins, emphasizing their roles in tumor diagnosis and potential clinical applications, and reports no new clinical findings.

Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.

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.

Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the evolution and revision of keratin protein nomenclature in light of genomic discoveries, reporting no new experimental results; the authors propose a new naming system for future keratin publications.

In this study, tofacitinib showed significant efficacy in treating alopecia totalis and universalis over a 6-month period, with notable hair regrowth outcomes, while younger age of onset and shorter treatment duration were linked to less effectiveness.

This review reports that KRT80 is overexpressed in various cancers, enhancing cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, and migration, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target, though more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its role in cancer prognosis.

In this case report, an 8-year-old with severe alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis experienced significant hair regrowth and improved dermatitis symptoms after treatment with dupilumab followed by baricitinib, with no major side effects observed.

This review discusses the patterns and regulatory mechanisms of keratin expression in various biological conditions and reports no new experimental results.

This study presents the first detailed 3D models of the complete K1/K10 keratin dimer and identifies structural features and interactions that may inform understanding of keratin filament assembly.

This study found that hair from mice with the Naked trait mutation has significantly lower levels of glycine and tyrosine, suggesting a deficiency in a specific protein fraction.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.
