KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

In this study, chemical treatments during permanent hair straightening were found to randomize proteins in the cortex, aiding in the reconnection of disulfide bonds during oxidation.

In these two clinical trials, DS-2325a, a KLK5 inhibitor, was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers, with mild and non-serious adverse events, suggesting its potential for further development as a treatment for Netherton Syndrome.

This article discusses the emergence of "Kainar syndrome" among residents near a nuclear test site in Kazakhstan and names brucellosis combined with vitamin deficiency as the suspected cause, without attributing it to nuclear tests.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the Sgkl gene as the cause of defective hair growth in a mutant mouse strain, implicating the SGKL signaling pathway in hair development.

This report discusses the characteristics of circle hairs, a type of body hair growth disorder, and emphasizes the value of trichoscopy for diagnosis.

This study found that the angora mouse mutation prolongs the anagen phase, resulting in excessively long hair and follicular abnormalities, without involving circulating hair cycle factors.

This report describes a new case of syndromic ichthyosis caused by compound heterozygous mutations in AP1B1, detailing the associated clinical features and molecular consequences in the patient.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

This study found that ureteroileal anastomosis with direct intraluminal visualization had a 4.2% stricture rate, which compares favorably to other techniques with rates between 3.5% and 11.1%.

In this study, researchers reported that dermoscopic examination of eyebrow hairs can help in the early diagnosis of Netherton syndrome in children by detecting trichorrhexis invaginata, facilitating prompt counseling and care while awaiting genetic test results.

This study proposed that the tiger tail phenomenon in trichothiodystrophy hair is caused by regular undulations of hair fibers, altering the optical properties seen under polarized light.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

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 analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This article presents a case of limb tourniquet syndrome in an elderly patient with memory problems, emphasizing potential regional changes that can cause irreversible damage.

This study describes a rare form of congenital alopecia in domestic short hair cats, characterized by hair shaft defects and follicular dystrophy similar to those seen in certain mutant mouse strains.

This chapter discusses the chemical changes and possible heat-induced hair damage from thermal straightening, as well as controversies surrounding the safety of keratin straightening treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

This study found that enhanced wound healing in oral mucosa involves a SOX2-regulated transcriptional network which includes increased expression of keratin K75, and interaction of K75 with the LINC complex may play a crucial role in promoting rapid wound repair.

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, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.
