This study found that NFI-C plays a crucial role in the transition from the telogen to anagen phase of the hair follicle cycle, affecting hair growth initiation in mice.

Keratin 79 cells help form and regenerate hair canals.

This study found that keratinocyte growth factor is a potent mitogen in human hyperplastic prostate cells, suggesting it plays an important role in prostate growth by acting in a paracrine manner.

In this study, researchers found that size polymorphisms in certain hKAP1 genes are linked to the hKAP1.1B and hKAP1.3 genes, arising from intragenic deletions and duplications in Japanese and Caucasian populations.

This study identified a new heterozygous mutation in the connexin 26 gene (c.263C>T; p.Ala88Val) in a premature neonate with KID syndrome, who later died from complications.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

This report describes a case where a young woman developed Kerion Celsi, a fungal skin infection, potentially linked to the use of a tretinoin, minoxidil, and betamethasone valerate lotion.

This study presents evidence that keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is caused by a mutation in the connexin 26 gene, expanding the gene's known involvement in various disorders.

In this study, researchers found that the absence of type I or type II keratins in mice leads to severe skin barrier defects, highlighting keratins' crucial role in epidermal structure and function.

In this study, combining Kuntai capsules with nilestriol tablets for three months was found to reduce symptoms of perimenopausal syndrome and improve reproductive hormone levels more effectively than nilestriol alone; however, the benefits did not persist significantly beyond three months.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

This study constructed a hair follicle-specific expression vector for IGFBP-5 in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat cells, allowing for future functional genetic analyses and potential use in nuclear transfer.

In this study, tebentafusp-tebn improved overall survival in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma compared to standard therapies, despite higher rates of significant adverse events.

This case study reports a rare combination of primary hyperparathyroidism with Klinefelter syndrome in a 44-year-old male, highlighting an unusual KS mosaicism with a mild phenotype.

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

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.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This article reports no new clinical results and reviews a case of scarring alopecia in conjunction with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

K39 and K40 are the last keratins expressed in hair development, completing the hair keratin catalog.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

In this study, researchers identified the c.296C>T (p.T99I) variant in the KRT32 gene, which co-segregates with loose anagen hair syndrome, and found it decreases binding affinity to KRT82, potentially weakening hair anchorage.

This study found that resveratrol and fisetin promoted hair growth in mice by inducing telomerase reverse transcriptase expression, which activates hair follicle stem cells and transitions follicles from a resting to a growth phase.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

Keratinocyte growth factor significantly alters skin and tissue development.

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.
