Mutations in the KRT85 gene cause hair and nail problems.

Researchers extracted tiny keratin filaments from human hair by unzipping its outer layer.

Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.

A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.

Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
