This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

This study identified three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

This study suggests that reconstructive methods for burn alopecia should be tailored to the conditions of the scarring, with scalp extension and expansion recommended only for large, poor-quality alopecia due to a high complication rate.

This study found that certain gene polymorphisms in keratin 27 and ELOVL4 are linked to improved cashmere fineness and production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats.

In this study, researchers developed a predictive model for the onset of alopecia areata by analyzing six datasets to identify key feature genes and employing various machine learning algorithms, ultimately finding the XGBoost model most effective for clinical application.

A simple method can show hair's surface pattern.

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

This study shows that IKZF1 and the protein IKAROS may play a role in the development of alopecia areata, based on findings from both mouse models and human scalp tissues.

In this study, researchers reported that the application of refolded human K31 keratin protein significantly improved diameter, mechanical strength, and smoothness of chemically damaged hair after a single treatment.

This study applied a novel Cox regression subsampling method to massive datasets, demonstrated using UK-biobank colorectal cancer data, effectively reducing computation time and memory usage while building a risk-prediction model under certain conditions involving right-censored and potentially left-truncated data with rare events.

A new computer tool quickly measures hair thickness differences in people with common types of hair loss.

In this case study, a 36-year-old male with symptoms of keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei and frontal fibrosing alopecia tested negative for a specific mutation, highlighting genetic testing's potential to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes in these similar conditions.

In this study, the XGBoost algorithm successfully diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome with an accuracy of 0.87 using a dataset from Kerala, suggesting its usefulness for classification problems in healthcare.

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 identified and updated the annotation of 61 keratin genes in dogs and horses, improving the genome annotation in these species through RNA-seq data comparison.

This study developed a method that combines image-based and simulation techniques to improve the reconstruction of hair dynamics from multi-view videos, enabling accurate hair motion representation and animation.

This study reports that electrophoretic patterns of hair keratins are more similar among family members than unrelated individuals, potentially aiding genetic studies.

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.

This study found that human hair can be classified into eight main types based on objective measurements of shape, rather than ethnic categories, enhancing the understanding of hair diversity globally.

In this study, researchers mapped cysteine accessibility in wool keratins and KAPs, revealing that certain cysteines in keratin end domains and Types I and II rod domains are accessible and likely involved in forming disulfide bonds.

This study introduces AlopeciaDet, a novel feature fusion technique, using camera images to detect Alopecia Areata with 99.45% accuracy, outperforming existing methods by leveraging CRSHOG and ResNet-50 features.

This study reports that a new DART-HRMS method can effectively analyze intact hair for drug use timelines, with cocaine detection aligning with forensic standards and identifying multiple drugs from high-resolution data.

This tool was developed to enhance reproducibility and sensitivity in measuring partial hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients, particularly those undergoing JAK inhibitor therapy, using scalp photographs.

This study suggests that keratoacanthomas may be distinguished from squamous cell carcinoma by identifying hair follicle structures, based on keratin expression and histological features observed in tumor samples.

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

This review examines the genetic challenges in improving wool and cashmere fibers, emphasizing the need for further research on wool keratins and keratin-associated proteins to enhance fiber characteristics.

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

In this study, water-soluble recombinant keratins, specifically RK81, were developed and used in microneedles to investigate their effect on hair growth, discovering that more than 40% of the hair follicles responded, demonstrating the potential for hair growth promotion.

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.
