This study suggests that human trichohyalin may function as a flexible rod linking keratin intermediate filaments and as a scaffold protein in hair follicle and epidermis cell envelopes.

This study identified two evolutionarily conserved ultra-high-sulfur keratin proteins in human and sheep hair follicles, which are specifically expressed in the hair cuticle during the late stages of fiber development.

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 reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

In this study, full-size KRT81 was expressed in both normal breast epithelial and breast cancer cells, and contributed to the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells.

This study found that hamster sebaceous glands have high affinity binding sites for dihydrotestosterone, with competition from other steroids indicating specific binding characteristics.

This study found that novel RNA aptamers specifically inhibited FGF5-induced cell proliferation, suggesting their potential as candidates for treating FGF5-related diseases or hair disorders.

This study reported that 70.1% of kidney transplant recipients experienced persistent symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome six months after infection, with older patients and those with more comorbidities being more affected.

This study found that biodegradable hyperbranched polyesters improved the solubility and loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, with complete pyrene release achieved in 16 days under enzymatic conditions.

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

Larger positively charged gelatin nanoparticles are more effective for delivering treatments to hair follicles.

In this study, researchers linked hair composition and mechanical properties to perceived hair quality, suggesting that hair quality may be genetically determined.

This study reported that genome sequencing and analysis of mink hair keratin genes reveal the amino acid composition of key proteins and offer insights into fur biosynthesis, potentially aiding conservation efforts through transgenic animal design to produce mink fur and help save endangered mink species.

This case report suggests that Kawasaki disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis for children presenting with alopecia following a febrile illness with mucositis and conjunctivitis.

This case report describes how alopecia areata and Beau's lines resolved in a child following treatment for Kawasaki disease, suggesting these symptoms may be linked to the underlying autoimmune process.

This study found that the addition of SPACE peptide significantly enhanced the penetration of amniotic membrane stem cell metabolites in mice, with only very mild irritation observed.

This study systematically reviews the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, discussing its origin, composition, function, involvement in tumors and diseases, and the development of small-molecular compounds targeting this pathway for disease treatment.

This study observed that the expression of certain keratins during human epidermal development marks the tissue's commitment to stratification and keratinization processes.

This study found that mouse and human protransglutaminase 3 enzymes require calcium-regulated activation for their role in later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle.

This study found that dermal papilla cells in human hair follicles exhibit stronger expression of VEGF mRNA and protein compared to other follicular cells, suggesting their key role in angiogenic processes related to hair growth.

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

Growth factors can either promote or inhibit hair follicle cell growth and collagen breakdown.

This study found that trichohyalin, a protein previously thought to be restricted to hair and tongue, is also present in isolated cells within the granular layer and stratum corneum of normal human epidermis.

This study found that fractional laser treatment significantly enhances the penetration and targeting of certain permeants, such as imiquimod and FD, to skin follicles, but not hydroquinone.

This study isolated a thermophilic bacterial strain, Bacillus cereus, from soil that produces an extracellular protease; the enzyme effectively removed non-leather structures from animal pelts and was compatible with commercial detergents.

This study identified a new enzyme, skin l‐tryptophan‐2,3‐dioxygenase, that may play a role in rat hair growth regulation, showing increased activity during peak hair growth periods.

This study isolated and characterized two distinct types of caspase-like proteases from human epidermis, suggesting their involvement in keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis processes.

This study concluded that IGF-I receptors are present on hair follicles and sebaceous glands of cashmere and Angora goats, but melatonin receptors are absent.

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.
