This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.

This study suggests that Ptprq in the hair bundles may exist as multiple isoforms that are differentially expressed throughout development and affect the organization of stereocilia in the chick inner ear.

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.

This study investigated the expression of KRTAP6 gene family in Gansu Alpine fine-wool sheep, finding significant expression during the anagen phase and a negative correlation between KRTAP6-1 and KRTAP6-5 expressions with wool fiber diameter and strength.

In this transgenic mouse study, preliminary findings suggest that overt melanocyte hyperplasia may require prior keratinocyte hyperplasia, indicating a potential role for keratinocyte mutation in early melanoma development.

This article proposes a hypothesis that KRT75, a protein found in hair follicles, was evolutionarily co-opted by ameloblasts during the development of prismatic enamel in synapsids, but reports no new results.

This study found that the K14 promoter exhibited higher activity in skin cell lines compared to other cell lines, while both K14 and K5 promoters were active in all tested cell lines.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This study suggests that structural changes in the TRPV3 channel are linked to severe skin conditions like Olmsted syndrome, with differences observed between heat-activated and resting states.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing can potentially fix skin disorder genes safely and effectively.

In this study, AgK114 was found to be transiently induced in hamster epidermal keratinocytes following skin damage, suggesting its role in the recovery process after injury.

In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.

In a transgenic mouse model, this study found that overexpression of keratin 16 in skin keratinocytes led to hyperkeratosis and increased EGF receptor signaling, altering skin cell behavior and structure.

In this study, researchers identified two novel peptidylarginine deiminases from treated rat keratinocytes, both showing enzyme activity with PAD‐R11 reflecting a characteristic of epidermal enzymes.

This study suggests that mouse keratin 6 isoforms, K6a and K6b, have overlapping but distinct expression profiles, differing notably in their expression in suprabasal cells and response to phorbol esters.

This study found that using the OptoTrkA system to control TrkA activity with blue light enhanced proliferation, migration, and differentiation of hair-follicle-derived stem cells into neuronal and glial cells.

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.

In this case report, the authors suggest that a novel enhancer element's translocation near the TRPS1 gene may contribute to the TRPS phenotype, expanding understanding of the syndrome's genetic basis.

This study found that the E6 gene, but not E7, was responsible for HPV8-induced expansion of keratinocyte stem cells in hair follicle junctional zones in mice.

This paper reviews the role of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in epidermal homeostasis, hair regeneration, and skin repair, noting contributions to 3D-genomic organization and suppression of UV-induced hyper-proliferation, without presenting new results.

This study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.

In this study, PKC ε transgenic mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation showed increased hair follicle stem cell frequency and altered gene expression compared to wild-type mice, suggesting a potential role in skin cancer susceptibility.

Runx1 helps control the KAP5 gene in human hair follicles.

This study provided the first X-ray crystal structure of the mammalian steroid hormone reductase AKR1D1 and identified a disease-related mutant, P133R, which may impact bile acid metabolism and cause clinical symptoms.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

This study reports that the recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-KK demonstrates specific expression in the skin of newborn mice.
