This study found that the methylation level at CpG III site 4 of the KRT17 gene promoter significantly influences wool production in Angora rabbits, suggesting its potential as an epigenetic marker for breeding high wool yield.

This study highlighted Keratin 17's critical role in cancer therapy resistance across several malignancies, involving various signaling pathways, and identified it as a significant biomarker and potential therapeutic target, particularly in reversing resistance.

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.

In this study, researchers identified three pathogenic de novo genetic variants contributing to epidermolysis bullosa simplex in young children, highlighting the complexity of genetic influences and underscoring the need for early genetic screening for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

This study found that depletion of KRT17 in endometrial cancer reduced cell growth, motility, and angiogenesis, suggesting KRT17 as a potential therapeutic target.

This abstract reviews the role of the human KRT 16 wild-type allele in skin and hair development and its association with certain genetic skin disorders, without presenting new findings.

A man with a rare skin condition and a new gene mutation developed high calcium levels due to his treatment.

This study demonstrates that Krt15 marks long-lived, multipotent, and injury-resistant crypt cells in the small intestine, which may serve as the cell of origin in intestinal cancer.

This study identified a radio-resistant population of Krt15+ stem cells in the mouse small intestine that can initiate tumors, suggesting potential targets for colon cancer therapy.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells initially contribute to wound re-epithelialization, but long-lasting epidermal cells are primarily derived from a stem cell population in the isthmus portion of hair follicles.

In this study, researchers developed a method to differentiate human iPSCs into cells that can generate all lineages of hair follicles, potentially aiding treatments for hair loss and skin disorders.

Hedgehog signaling helps keep hair follicle stem cells the same in both young and old human skin.

This study developed an efficient method for isolating and enriching multipotent ovine hair follicle stem cells, which may aid in research on the ovine hair cycle and future wool production.

This study suggests that decorin may help maintain hair follicle stem cells and its reduced expression could contribute to age-related hair loss.
