This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

This study observed that while X-ray radiation did not alter major hair keratin composition in mice, it decreased hair follicle stem cell markers and increased Krt5, suggesting potential as a radiation biomarker.

This study identified genetic variants in the DSG4 gene associated with the autosomal recessive form of monilethrix in Chinese patients, expanding the understanding of its phenotypic spectrum and clinical features.

This systematic review identified topical and oral minoxidil as the most effective treatments for monilethrix, but noted the varying efficacy of oral retinoids and other treatments.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female patient with monilethrix who developed female androgenetic alopecia at age 23, and found that oral minoxidil treatment improved her androgenetic alopecia while leaving the underlying structural hair anomalies of monilethrix unchanged.

This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.

This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This research identified K31 as a new marker for distinguishing clear secretory cells in human eccrine sweat glands, aiding in differentiating between distinct cell types within these glands.

A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.

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

This study suggests that the C-terminal of AHF is crucial for its binding to keratin bundles and modulating the keratin meshwork in hair follicles.

This study revealed that heterozygous mice with the hairy ear mutation exhibited significant gene expression changes related to hair growth, such as upregulation of hair keratin and keratin-associated proteins, shedding light on the Hoxc gene cluster's role in this phenotype.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

Melatonin affects when and how certain genes work during the different stages of goat hair growth.

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 report describes a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in a newborn and her mother, both possessing a specific KRT1 gene mutation known to cause this skin disorder.

This study found that PRX102, a peroxidase with a unique polar localization pattern, plays a role in root hair growth by aiding the transport of materials to the tips of growing root hairs.

This study found that Krtap11-1 may play an important role in keratin-bundle assembly in the hair cortex, influencing the physical properties of hair.

This study identified three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with both type I diabetes and monilethrix, detailing her symptoms and treatment with topical minoxidil, while exploring a possible genetic link between the conditions.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, experiencing hair fragility and loss after a fever, and showing improvement in hair density following treatment, despite persistent symptoms.

This article discusses advancements in proteomic and metabolomic analysis techniques for studying hair damage but provides no new clinical results; the authors express interest in applying metabolomics to develop strategies for reducing hair damage from chemical treatments.

This study identified changes in immune activation, ferroptosis, and structural genes in alopecia areata subtypes, suggesting molecular markers that might help understand disease variability and guide future treatments.

This study examined molecular predictors of ritlecitinib efficacy in treating alopecia areata, highlighting the role of JAK3-dependent inflammation and follicular integrity as important factors in understanding disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic effectiveness.
