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.

This survey in Pabna district, Bangladesh, documented various plants used by traditional healers for treating ailments, highlighting regional variations in plant usage.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

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 found no significant difference in CUX1 core promoter methylation levels between different lambskin patterns in Hu sheep, suggesting other mechanisms influence CUX1 expression related to hair follicle development.

Krox20 is important for cell differentiation in the brain and hair follicles.

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.

This review discusses nine Ayurvedic medicinal herbs listed in the Dhanvantari Nighantu as beneficial for hair, detailing their properties like promoting hair growth, enhancing hair thickness, and maintaining dark hair color, alongside supporting research on these effects.

This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

This study explored how using kitchen-related analogies for dermatological signs, like comparing certain appearances to common culinary items, can enhance understanding and retention of complex medical concepts in dermatology.

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.

This paper reviews classical Unani texts and scientific research on Cuscuta reflexa, covering its traditional uses and pharmacological properties, but presents no new clinical results.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

This study found that cis-urocanic acid can engage in non-enzymatic reactions with reactive sulphur species, forming new metabolites, and suggests sulphide donors may protect against UVB-related toxicity.

This review explores the Charaka samhita's concept of Ashtanindita purusha, identifying eight physical constitutions traditionally regarded as undesirable due to their association with various diseases, and aims to correlate these with contemporary genetic, endocrinological, and metabolic disorders.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

This study found that the Sonowal Kachari tribe in Assam, India, utilizes 39 plant species for medicinal purposes, with leaves being the most commonly used part, highlighting the tribe's substantial traditional knowledge of herbal medicine.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

This study identified nine novel KRTAP5 family genes associated with human hair formation, demonstrating preferential expression in hair roots and suggesting their role in hair development.

This text describes kerion, a severe form of tinea capitis, and emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosis and the need for oral antifungal treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the cloning and expression details of two new human type II keratins, K6irs3 and K6irs4, in the hair follicle's inner root sheath, suggesting a distinct functional role related to hair structure.

This study highlights the prevalence of hair loss in India, with over half the population experiencing hair fall or baldness, and discusses Ayurvedic approaches for managing these conditions according to different ancient texts.

This study explores how Ayurveda concepts, specifically Prakruti, relate to male pattern baldness, suggesting that individual constitutional types may predict susceptibility to earlier hair loss when influenced by modern lifestyle factors.

In this study, two novel clusters of keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 11 were analyzed, suggesting their products are crucial for hair formation due to preferential expression in hair roots.

This study suggests that the transcription factors SP1 and KROX20 regulate CUX1 gene's effect on the proliferation of ovine dermal papilla cells in vitro.

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 study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.
