In this study, the researchers found that a keratin hydrogel filler in nerve conduits led to earlier Schwann cell migration and improved cellular behaviors compared to other fillers in a rat sciatic nerve model.

This case report describes a rare pedunculated follicular hamartoma on the nasal septum of a 77-year-old Japanese male, emphasizing its unique clinical and pathological features.

This report documents the first case of congenital hypotrichosis in a cervid, observed in a 4-month-old male white-tailed deer fawn in South Dakota.

This study reported the first documented case of congenital hypotrichosis in a white-tailed deer, based on histologic examination of a fawn collected in South Dakota.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

This study investigated pilomatrixoma, a benign skin tumor, and found that irregular expression of β-catenin and Lef-1 in transitional cells may contribute to amorphous debris and cyst formation.

In this study conducted at the Veterinary Clinical Complex in Bikaner, Rajasthan, researchers found that among 240 canine dermatitis cases, 25 dogs had demodicosis, characterized by various hematological and serum biochemical changes, and distinctive histopathological alterations in skin samples.

This case study described the diagnosis of a trichofolliculoma in a 56-year-old woman, emphasizing its dermoscopic features and histological aspects that confirmed the tumor type, with no recurrence observed after excision.

This study observed that hair follicle cuticular cells undergoing keratinization were significantly thicker than those in a normal hair shaft, due to incomplete loss of cytosol.

This article discusses how dermoscopy, particularly "entomodermoscopy," aids in diagnosing skin infestations and infectious dermatoses, enhancing clinical evaluations, and monitoring treatment efficacy for conditions like scabies, pediculosis, myiasis, and tungiasis.

This study reported that transgenic mice with targeted TNF alpha expression in keratinocytes showed impaired weight gain, retarded hair growth, and skin changes, leading to cachexia and necrosis.

This study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.

This study found that injecting keratin into the skin of mice promoted hair growth, potentially through keratin's interaction with hair-forming cells and changes in the microenvironment.

In this study, a keratin hydrogel improved survival rates and functional recovery in rats with spinal cord injuries, suggesting potential for SCI treatment that merits further investigation.

This article reviews the complex structure and molecular composition of hair keratins, highlighting their self-assembly process and implications for keratin extraction techniques, but reports no new experimental results.

This Ph.D. project aims to evaluate the self-assembling potential of hair keratin extracts and study the cellular response to both crude and purified keratins, highlighting their potential applications from biomedical to water remediation.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of vimentin, desmin, and laminin in rat skin contributes to cell structure and tissue integrity, with varying reactions across different cell types.

This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

This report suggests that peripilar hair casts, potentially linked to modern hair styling or mild trichotillomania, may be more prevalent than currently reported.

Human hair keratin can help repair fat tissue.

Keratin-based hydrogels from human hair improve wound healing effectively.

This study observed that human anagen hair follicles can grow in vitro when maintained serum-free, with possible implications for understanding hair follicle growth mechanisms.

This case report described a facial hairline tumor initially diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst but ultimately confirmed as a rare Proliferating Pilar Tumor with focal malignancies upon histopathological examination.

This study investigated the effects of wool-derived hydrolysed keratin peptides on relaxed textured hair and found that mid- and high-molecular weight peptides improved mechanical strength and reduced breakage in different humidity conditions.

This study found that Polyomavirus A2 infection in mice led to the development of pilomatricomas in hair follicles, with the virus replicating initially in the skin and later infecting matrix cells.

This study found that interleukin-1 directly induces the expression of keratin 6 in keratinocytes, which is a marker of activation and involved in inflammatory skin responses.

This study suggests that the structural integrity and physical proximity of Whn's DNA binding and activation domains are crucial for hair keratin gene activation and may explain the nude phenotype.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.
