This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study found that miR-339-5p negatively regulates loureirin A-induced differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, potentially impacting skin repair and regeneration by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This article reviews the characteristics and inheritance patterns of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, but it does not present new clinical findings, noting the disease's complex and poorly understood pathogenesis.

PCFCL may have unrecognized subtypes and needs more research.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes self-assembled differently in 3D spheroid co-cultures, providing insights into cell distribution and organogenesis during skin regeneration.

This study found that Fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) accelerates epithelial invagination in engineered ectodermal organs and suggests its potential role in organogenesis and regeneration research.

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

This study found that the mK6alpha and mK6beta genes in mice are regulated differently at the mRNA level, with implications for understanding K6 gene evolution and function in mammals.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This study generated a transcriptomic map of human hair follicles, identifying compartment-specific gene expression profiles that can aid in developing targeted therapies for hair follicle disorders.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study found that epidermal-specific deletion of aPKCλ in mice disrupted hair follicle stem cell quiescence and regeneration, leading to abnormal hair cycling and skin changes.

ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.

This article presents a family case study of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis linked to a specific KRT14 gene variant, detailing symptoms and stressing the importance of molecular diagnosis for management.

This study found that specific variants of the KAP6-1 gene in cashmere-producing goats were associated with changes in fiber diameter and length, suggesting potential as genetic markers for fiber improvement.

In this study, researchers created a comprehensive transcriptome map of human hair follicle compartments, identifying compartment-specific genes and providing a resource for potential therapeutic interventions.

This article presents two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and reviews its features, highlighting characteristic progression from keratosis pilaris in infancy to cicatricial alopecia in childhood.

This case report further supports the association of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans with acne keloidalis nuchae and tufted hair folliculitis.

This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This study describes the expression patterns of type I inner root sheath keratin proteins K25–K28 in human hair follicles, highlighting their distinct distribution within different layers.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

Keratinocyte growth factor significantly alters skin and tissue development.

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 5 may enhance Cashmere goat hair growth by altering the expression of specific genes related to keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

This study revealed that frizzled 3 can fully rescue polarity defects in frizzled 6-null mice, while frizzled 6 can partially rescue defects in frizzled 3-null mice, highlighting conserved signaling roles in these proteins.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

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