Krt6a-Cre transgenic mice help study gene effects on hair follicle development and tumor suppression.

In this study, researchers identified KRT6A as a potentially important gene in mesenchymal stem cell-derived treatments for alopecia areata, revealing its role as a diagnostic marker, predictor of disease severity, and a protective factor, with overexpression alleviating hair loss in experimental models.

This study found that white hair exhibits increased expression of genes and proteins linked to active hair growth compared to black hair, suggesting that hair greying is associated with enhanced hair growth activity.

This study found that specific proteins associated with fiber structure, hair growth, and fatty acid synthesis, including the DSC2 gene, may influence wool and hair characteristics in sheep and goats.

This study found that KRT6A expression increases after epidermal barrier disruption, worsening skin inflammation in disease conditions, and suggests that targeting KRT6A could offer a new treatment approach for inflammatory skin diseases linked to epidermal dysfunction.

This study found that conditional deletion of CD271 in mouse epidermis led to significant disorganization and increased thickness, suggesting CD271's crucial role in regulating skin differentiation and structure.

This study found that adult dermal papilla cells guided high-passage adult keratinocytes to produce new hair fibers, suggesting potential for large-scale hair follicle bioengineering.

Hair follicle stem cells help maintain skin health after injury.

This study identified genetic differences between Australian White Sheep and Hu Sheep that may explain their distinct pelage types, with a focus on subcutaneous adiposity and immunoregulation. The findings suggest potential targets for breeding climate-resilient sheep, enhancing our understanding of heat tolerance in these breeds.

In this study, researchers observed that mutant mice with a genetic hair loss condition exhibited significant differential expression of genes related to keratinization and hair follicle formation, providing insights into potential strategies for understanding and treating alopecia.

In this study, researchers observed that spontaneously mutated mice with a hair loss phenotype exhibited significant differential expression of genes related to keratinization and hair follicle formation, suggesting these mice could model human alopecia for future research and treatment development.

The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.

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

In this study, researchers used patient-derived organoids to model metastasis in colorectal cancer and discovered that cancer cells temporarily switch to a wound-healing program, orchestrated by reduced EZH2 activity and YAP signaling, before spreading to new organs.

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.

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

This study identified a new keratin, K6irs, as a potential histological marker for the inner root sheath of hair follicles in mice and humans, and as a candidate gene for hereditary hair defects.

This research identified that the constitutive and inducible expression of the Keratin 6 gene in transgenic mice skin is controlled by multiple regulatory elements spread throughout its 5' flanking region.

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

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

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.

This study found that inhibiting AP1 transcription factor activity in the suprabasal epidermis of mice alters keratinocyte gene expression, reducing barrier integrity and mimicking human keratoderma.

In this study of a TRPS type I patient, many genes related to keratin and hair development were down-regulated in balding scalp areas, providing new insights into TRPS and hair morphogenesis.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This study found that miR-133a-3p and miR-145-5p influenced goat hair follicle stem cell differentiation by inhibiting NANOG expression and promoting SOX9 expression.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

This study found that TPA treatment induced expression of keratins K6 and K16 in mouse epidermis, with K6 expressed across all cell layers and K16 only in post-mitotic cells.
