In this study, the misshaped and hairy ear phenotype in mutant mice was linked to mis-expression of certain Hoxc genes due to a chromosomal inversion.

This article describes a case of localized trichorrhexis nodosa in a patient with otherwise normal hair, highlighting the condition's response to trauma and diagnostic process but reporting no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can be anatomically separated to obtain intact micron and nano keratin filaments using solvents like performic acid and urea.

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.

In this mouse study, NF-κB was shown to play a role in hair follicle cycling and morphogenesis, with specific activity patterns differing by hair type and involving noncanonical signaling for zigzag hair bending.

This report describes an 11-year-old girl with peripilar keratin casts, a condition often underdiagnosed and mistaken for nits, highlighting the usefulness of keratolytic treatments in management.

This case report describes the diagnosis of Netherton's syndrome in two young sisters, attributing their serious erythrodermia, poor hair growth, and atopic conditions to this hereditary condition.

This study found that certain keratin gene mutations associated with pachyonychia congenita are linked to altered enamel structure and increased risk of dental caries.

This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

This report describes several cases of pili annulati in children, highlighting its genetic predisposition and distinctive "zebra stripe" hair pattern, but notes no effective treatment is available.

This study found that the cuticle layer of hair contributes approximately 60% to bending stress, highlighting its significant role in the mechanical properties of hair stiffness.

This case report aims to raise physician awareness about 'toe-tourniquet' syndrome, which can lead to digit loss if not promptly treated, and to prevent its misdiagnosis as child abuse.

This study observed that both dutasteride and finasteride affected penile morphology in normotensive and hypertensive rats, with more pronounced changes in hypertensive animals, especially when treated with dutasteride.

In this study, researchers found that the primary cause of slippage and detachment of keratin capsules in hair extensions is the re-contamination by oily residues from the hairdresser's hands, rather than the use of hair care products like masks or conditioners.

This article describes a previously unreported hair anomaly associated with facio-genito-popliteal syndrome and does not present new clinical results.

This study used Raman spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering to observe two main α-helix to β-sheet transitions in hair keratin under varying humidity levels, finding that water impacts when these structural changes occur, involving a disordered state.

This study describes a method to create keratin hydrogels with adjustable erosion rates by mixing different ratios of keratose and kerateine, enabling controlled release of therapeutic agents like insulin-like growth factor 1.

This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which is important for periodontal ligament homeostasis under occlusal hypofunction conditions.

Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.

This study found that K33A was significantly upregulated in lustrous Magra wool follicles, while other keratin and KAP genes showed downregulation, impacting wool's physical properties like luster.

This study reports that variation in the ovine TCHH gene may influence wool fibre curvature, with specific gene variants affecting the mean fibre curvature in sheep.

In this study, injecting Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine into skin tissue weakened hair shaft and follicle formation, likely by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration needed for hair follicle morphogenesis.

This report describes a rare case of pili multigemini, where multiple hair shafts arise from a single follicle, discovered during an examination for folliculitis on a patient's abdomen.

In this case report, goserelin, a GnRH agonist, was effective in managing stuttering priapism and improving erectile function in a patient with sickle cell disease, suggesting potential for last-line treatment.

This study found that epithelial keratin K 6 is associated with hyperkeratotic and ulcerated changes in the gastric pars oesophagea of pigs, suggesting epithelial proliferation plays a role in ulcer development.

This abstract reviews the bubble hair abnormality caused by high-temperature styling tools and reports no new experimental results.

This report discusses a case of hair toe tourniquet syndrome in an infant and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe complications.

This announcement from Redfield Corporation introduces the first disposable linear slot punches for hair restoration surgery, with sharpness guaranteed for up to 500 recipient sites.
