This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

In this discussion, the authors highlight the murine cornea as a powerful model for stem cell research, revealing new insights into stem cell properties, differentiation flexibility, and the importance of the stem cell niche, with potential implications for understanding various tissues, diseases, and therapies.

This article reviews multiple noncutaneous manifestations of pityriasis rubra pilaris, such as subungual hyperkeratosis and hair loss, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that keratoacanthomas may be distinguished from squamous cell carcinoma by identifying hair follicle structures, based on keratin expression and histological features observed in tumor samples.

This review found that while treating keratosis pilaris is challenging, current therapies can lead to significant improvement, particularly when tailored to the individual's specific disease phenotype and concerns.

This case report identifies a new type of hair matrix tumor called "rippled pattern trichomatricoma," distinguished by its unique cell arrangement and differentiation features.

This study presents cases of paraproteinemic keratopathy associated with multiple myeloma and MGUS, highlighting varied treatment responses and the need for long-term follow-up to better understand disease progression and management.

This report presents the first known case of a proliferating hybrid cyst containing both epidermoid and trichilemmal components on the scrotum of a 44-year-old man.

In this case report, a 21-year-old male was observed to have primary essential cutis verticis gyrata, a condition characterized by the excessive formation of scalp folds resembling cerebral gyri, without any additional comorbidities.

This study found that trichohyalin, a protein previously thought to be restricted to hair and tongue, is also present in isolated cells within the granular layer and stratum corneum of normal human epidermis.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study shows that microdiffraction experiments reveal structural layers in keratinous tissues, each with different keratin types, potentially explaining their dual role as mechanical support and chemical barriers.

This study found that many participants with hair loss, or Khalitya, exhibited dietary incompatibilities and low calcium levels, aligning Ayurvedic concepts with modern dietary risk factors.

A woman with Parry-Romberg syndrome developed new curly hair on one side of her scalp, a condition not previously linked to the syndrome.

In this study, researchers established three specific cell lines from Cashmere goat hair follicles and found that cytokeratin 13 might be a novel biomarker for identifying dermal sheath cells.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

This case study describes a rare cutaneous follicular hybrid cyst intimately associated with syringocystadenoma papilliferum, proposing a potential relationship with the infrainfundibulum based on keratin expression.

This study examined the clinicopathologic and trichoscopic characteristics of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and identified terminal hair involvement and follicular hyperkeratosis as key diagnostic features.

This case report discusses a 69-year-old woman with alopecia areata who presented with a growing lesion on her hand, raising diagnostic considerations during her appointment for scalp steroid injections.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This study presents the first detailed 3D models of the complete K1/K10 keratin dimer and identifies structural features and interactions that may inform understanding of keratin filament assembly.

This study identified Sciellin, a new protein precursor to the cornified envelope in keratinocytes, with unique solubility properties hinting at its potential role in envelope assembly.

Keratinocyte stem cells help regenerate and repair cornea, skin, and hair.

This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.

This report discusses a case of pilomatrixoma, an uncommon benign skin tumor, and emphasizes the importance of histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis as malignancy.
