This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

This study found that vitamin D receptor expression is associated with proliferating keratinocytes, while retinoid X receptor α is linked to differentiating keratinocytes, suggesting differential targeting by vitamin D metabolites.

This review discusses the structural knowledge of wool keratin proteins and genes, reports no new findings, and highlights promising directions such as keratin gene regulation.

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 article discusses aspects of Graham-Little syndrome, including follicular keratosis with cicatricial alopecia, and offers no new clinical findings.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy reduced inflammation and improved bladder function in a rat model of ketamine-induced ulcerative cystitis.

This study examined the pharmacokinetics of finasteride in pigs and found that ketoconazole coadministration affected its distribution across various plasma compartments, bile, and urine.

In this study, Kerion Celsi, a deep fungal scalp infection, is highlighted as being rare in neonates but more common in children over 3 years, requiring medical treatment with antifungals and antibiotics to prevent scarring alopecia and distinguish it from bacterial infections.

This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.

This study found that Keratin 26 is expressed differently in hair follicle phases, particularly during catagen and telogen, influencing cashmere growth and interacting antagonistically with the BMP signaling pathway.

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.

This study indicates that ABCG2 expression identifies interfollicular keratinocyte progenitor cells in human epidermis and suggests it could help enrich these stem cells for research and treatment.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

TSH influences keratin expression in human hair follicles.

This study found that the enzyme glutamine synthetase is distributed throughout the epidermis and its activity in keratinocytes is notably increased by ammonium ions, suggesting the skin serves as a reservoir for glutamine generation.

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.

This case report suggests a successful outcome with intralesional cidofovir for SCC, although surgical excision remains the preferred treatment.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing a mutant K6 gene developed progressive scarring alopecia and keratosis, suggesting they may model a new keratin disorder.

This report describes the first documented occurrence of Vohwinkel's disease combined with congenital alopecia universalis in siblings from the same family, both unresponsive to prior treatments.

This study describes a method for serially cultivating adult human hair follicle keratinocytes using a specific growth substrate and cryogenic storage, enabling subculture and immunofluorescence studies.

This study found that a specific variant in hair keratin was present mainly in Caucasian samples, with few exceptions showing likely Caucasian admixture.

This study presents recombinant human hair keratins K31 and K81, observing novel nanostructures from their self-assembly and emphasizing disulfide crosslinking's role in this process.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.

This study describes a method for isolating stem cells and keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using FACS technology, facilitating the study of stem cell biology.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl who developed kerion celsi from an untreated scalp infection, likely contracted from a guinea pig, leading to significant hair loss and the need for a wig.

Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.

In this case report, an ointment containing 1.24R-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was effective for treating follicular keratosis of the chin but did not provide lasting benefits after treatment ended.

This study found that hair follicle-specific keratins can form different structural assemblies depending on ionic conditions, with hair cortex keratins requiring physiological salt conditions to form intermediate filaments.
