The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.

Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.

This study observed that increasing the γ-kerateine content in meta-kerateine materials led to reduced elasticity, solidity, and hydrolytic stability, and decreased hepatocyte attachment support.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

This study found that keloid tissues exhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related changes and alterations in gene expression, implicating these processes in the pathogenesis of keloids.

This study found that keratin 19, unlike keratin 14, forms less stable filaments with keratin 5, suggesting distinct assembly properties and potential unique roles in skin basal cells.

This study found that K15 is variably expressed in sheep and mouse hair follicles, with specific patterns suggesting a role in the early stages of keratinocyte differentiation.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

Targeted therapies promoting differentiation could help treat basal cell carcinoma by exhausting cancer stem cells.

This study seeks to clarify the terminology and classification of keratoacanthoma and similar squamous cell carcinoma lesions with central keratin-filled craters to aid in accurate differential diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that hair follicle bulge stem cells can form epidermis in a tissue-engineered skin model, highlighting the significance of K5/K17 filaments in slow-cycling stem cell subsets.

This review covers various disorders of cornification and their treatments, offering clinical insights but reporting no new research findings.

This study found that keratin 15 expressing cells from the hair follicle contribute to the development and long-term persistence of cutaneous papillomas in transgenic mice, with a subset showing the Ha-ras mutation.

This study explains how the development of keratin-associated proteins in embryonic epidermis is crucial for forming protective barriers in vertebrates, enabling them to adapt to terrestrial environments.

This study found that regulatory sequences crucial for inducing K6a expression in response to epidermal injury are located in specific upstream regions of the K6a gene in transgenic mice.

This article presents two cases of tinea capitis in postpubertal individuals highlighting the importance of early treatment to prevent scarring and permanent hair loss; it reports no new clinical results.

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.

In this study, researchers found that contrary to expectations, keratin 10 domains did not reduce cell proliferation and instead increased tumor development in genetically modified mice.

This study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

This study found that while extracellular matrix components like hyaluronic acid promoted larger organoid formation, other matrix components hindered hair follicle germ assembly in an in vitro model.

This study found that thyroid hormones T3 and T4 enhance keratin 15 promoter activity and stimulate CD200 expression in epithelial stem cells from human scalp hair follicles, affecting their growth and differentiation.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

In this study, researchers identified distinct chromatin regions and regulatory elements that drive keratinocyte-specific gene expression, highlighting complex enhancer modules influencing skin epithelium through a combination of transcriptional activators and repressors.

This study reported that reconstructed skin models can be useful for studying the effects of non-water-soluble topical products on xenobiotic metabolism, particularly in enzyme activities like EROD and GST.

This study suggests that adjusting the ratios of keratin-associated proteins to keratin intermediate filaments can create keratin/chitosan hydrogels with more consistent gel properties for tissue engineering.

This review discusses the genetic, autoinflammatory, and keratinization factors involved in hidradenitis suppurativa and presents the concept of classifying it as an autoinflammatory keratinization disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 70-MHz ultrasound can detect early signs of hidradenitis suppurativa linked to severity, including hair follicle abnormalities and keratin fragmentation, aiding in diagnosis and management.

This study found that human hair keratin coatings enhanced adhesion and proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblasts compared to uncoated and collagen type 1 surfaces, suggesting keratin's potential as a surface coating for cell cultures.
