research 707 Chromatin remodeler Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is a critical determinant controlling postnatal epidermal growth, differentiation and response to injury
This study reported that the absence of Lsh in skin led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and altered gene expression, suggesting its crucial role in regulating epidermal proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing.
research Two Different Mutations in the Same Codon of a Type II Hair Keratin (hHb6) in Patients with Monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of The keratins of the human beard hair medulla: the riddle in the middle.
This study found that both epithelial and hair keratins are expressed in beard hair medulla cells, exhibiting unique patterns and interactions distinct from other hair follicle and epithelial cells.
research Plakophilin 1 suppresses keratinocyte innate immune responses through DExD/H helicases
This study found that Plakophilin 1 regulates innate immune responses in keratinocytes by controlling RNA helicase activity, balancing inflammation during epidermal immune challenges.
research Signaling from keratins
In this study, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that Keratin 17 plays a signaling role in cell growth during a wound response by aiding mTOR pathway activation, beyond its structural functions.
research IL-36γ drives skin toxicity induced by EGFR/MEK inhibition and commensal Cutibacterium acnes
This study found that EGFR and MEK inhibitors may induce acneiform skin toxicities by interacting with the skin bacterium Cutibacterium acnes to increase IL-36γ and IL-8 production in keratinocytes.
research Keratin 15 Promoter Targets Putative Epithelial Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle Bulge
The K15 promoter effectively targets stem cells in the hair follicle bulge.
research 474 Stabilizing mutations of KLHL24 ubiquitin ligase cause loss of keratin 14 and human skin fragility
This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
This review summarizes the cell type distribution and functional significance of human keratins, emphasizing their roles in tumor diagnosis and potential clinical applications, and reports no new clinical findings.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
This study describes trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct process of hair follicle keratinization that occurs in specific areas of the outer root sheath, illustrated using electron microscopy on dog hair.
research 876 Manipulation of stem cell divisional behavior: Selectively promoting asymmetric and symmetric keratinocyte divisions in vitro
This study found that hyperproliferative stimuli dysregulated the balance of stem cell divisions in keratinocytes, suggesting potential treatment strategies for both benign and cancerous hyperproliferative diseases.
research In vivohair growth promotion effects of cosmetic preparations containing hinokitiol-loaded poly(ε-caprolacton) nanocapsules
In this study, nanocapsule-based preparations containing hinokitiol promoted hair growth in mice comparably to Minoxidil solution, as indicated by photographic and histological analysis.
research Production of a 135-residue long N-truncated human keratinocyte growth factor 1 in Escherichia coli
This study found that a newly produced version of KGF-1 with 135 residues maintained biological activity and could serve as an alternative to the standard 140-residue KGF-1.
research Keratin 15 promotes a progenitor cell state in basal keratinocytes of skin epidermis
This study proposes a model suggesting that the ratio of keratin 15 to keratin 14 in epidermal keratinocytes promotes a progenitor state and opposes differentiation, based on insights from both cell culture and transgenic mouse models.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
This study revealed that nestin-expressing progenitor cells capable of becoming ORS keratinocytes are present during both hair follicle development and in adult hair follicles.
research Trichohyalin: Purification from Porcine Tongue Epithelium and Characterization of the Native Protein
research Identification of Trichohyalin-Like 1, an S100 Fused-Type Protein Selectively Expressed in Hair Follicles
TCHHL1 is a protein important for hair growth, found in hair follicles.
research P25 ELF5 regulation of normal skin development and homeostasis
This study suggests that ELF5 plays a crucial role as a regulator and maintainer of stem/progenitor cell functions, impacting normal skin development and homeostasis.
research LB1256 TRIV-509, a dual inhibitor of KLK5 and KLK7, rapidly improves barrier integrity and markers of epidermal differentiation in atopic dermatitis skin explants
TRIV-509 quickly improves skin barrier and cell health in atopic dermatitis.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.
research Keratin 15 Expression in Stratified Epithelia: Downregulation in Activated Keratinocytes
This study found that keratin 15 expression is downregulated in hyperproliferative conditions like psoriasis and hypertrophic scars, suggesting it is not compatible with keratinocyte activation.
research Function of KLF4 in Stem Cell Biology
This article reviews the role of KLF4, a transcription factor, in various cellular processes and its dual function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the context, but presents no new experimental results.
research Human Hair Derived Keratins Mediate Schwann Cell Behavior in vitro and Facilitate Rapid Peripheral Nerve Regeneration in vivo
In this study, keratin hydrogels derived from human hair were found to significantly enhance nerve regeneration in a mouse model, acting effectively as scaffolds by influencing Schwann cell behavior.
