In this study, researchers identified five unique sequences of the ovine KAP13-3 gene, with potential implications for wool traits due to observed amino acid changes.

Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.

This study suggests that Foxn1 acts as a brake on PKC signaling in keratinocytes, thereby modulating the stages of differentiation by controlling PKC activity.

This study describes a case of epidermolysis bullosa simplex where maternal somatic and germline mosaicism was identified, highlighting the significance for genetic counseling in sporadic cases.

This study found that the serine protease BSSP is strongly expressed in mouse skin during carcinogenesis and is upregulated independently of c-Fos and unaffected by glucocorticoids.

This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

This research identified that the constitutive and inducible expression of the Keratin 6 gene in transgenic mice skin is controlled by multiple regulatory elements spread throughout its 5' flanking region.

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

This study found that trichostasis spinulosa was present in some seborrheic keratoses, indicating they may partly originate from hair follicle cells.

This review discusses how epidermal Langerhan's cells and dermal cells may influence keratinocyte environments, potentially aiding in the formation of stem cell niches and cellular variety in the basal layer, without providing novel results.

This study found that Dock5 plays a crucial role in keratinocyte function and wound healing, with its expression reduced in diabetic models but improving healing when restored.

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.

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.

In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.

This study found that in a transgenic mouse model, β-HPV infection led to increased skin thickness and proliferation of specific keratinocyte stem cells, which may contribute to squamous cell carcinoma development.

Sfrp2 increases during hair follicle catagen phase and slows keratinocyte growth.

This study found that using ectopic expression of CD24 is a promising approach for selecting genetically modified human epidermal stem cells for safe cutaneous gene therapy in cancer-prone conditions.

This study found that keratin 19 and nuclear galectin-1 binding can transiently express in interfollicular epidermal cells after adhesion, suggesting keratin 19 should not be solely used as a stem cell activity marker.

This study indicates that nail-matrical fibroblasts can induce hard keratin expression in non-nail-matrical keratinocytes, suggesting potential for using non-nail-matrical epidermal grafts to treat nail injuries.

This study found that high levels of human cytokeratin 16 expression in transgenic mice lead to skin lesions and altered keratinocyte structure, suggesting potential implications for human skin disorders and wound healing.

This study found that 2% ketoconazole solution stimulated hair growth significantly in a mouse model, suggesting potential benefits for male pattern hair loss.

This review synthesizes current research on PPAR-γ signaling in hair follicle biology and its potential role in treating hair growth disorders like scarring alopecia and hirsutism, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

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 suggests that TIP39 and its receptor PTH2R, identified in human epidermis, may play a role in keratinocyte function and influence skin differentiation.

In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.

In this study, 31 children with kerion Celsi were treated successfully with antifungal medications, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent scarring and hair loss.

This research details a robust method for isolating hair follicle stem cells and epidermal keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using fluorescence activated cell-sorting technology.

This study found that the activation of ER‑β increased keratinocyte proliferation and gene expression related to epidermal regeneration, enhancing wound healing in both cell models and rats.

This study found that the absence of sebaceous glands may be an early factor in the development of keratosis pilaris, leading to hair shaft and skin barrier abnormalities, independent of filaggrin mutations.
