Aptamers can improve wound healing and promote hair growth.

This review discusses recent advances in polydopamine-based biomaterials and their growing potential in personalized medicine, but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight both opportunities and challenges for future applications.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study found that cPPARγ and dnPPARγ isoforms are differentially expressed in healthy human skin, suggesting that PPARγ modulators may have compartment-specific effects depending on isoform presence.

This study explored the structure and keratin composition of marsupial hairs, finding similarities in keratin localization to hairs in placental mammals, and highlighting potential roles of trichohyalin and transglutaminase during hair development and shedding.

This study demonstrated that the biomimetic peptide PTP20 may help preserve hair pigmentation and reduce greying by enhancing melanocyte function and increasing melanin production in human hair follicles.

This review discusses the effects of protein-based cosmetics on hair properties and reports no new research findings, suggesting potential benefits for developing advanced, sustainable hair products.

This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.

Aδ-LTMRs have complex synapses with glycine, while Aβ-LTMRs have simpler ones.

The study found that, unlike in actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma tissues showed higher expression of nidogen1 and Col4 in both basement membranes and surrounding stroma compared to normal skin.

Keratin mutations cause skin diseases and could lead to new treatments.

In this study, the authors concluded that the TS-associated polyomavirus may disrupt Wnt/β-catenin signaling, likely contributing to abnormal hair follicle formation in trichodysplasia spinulosa.

In this study, rabbit esophageal epithelial cells were found to produce K4 and K13 keratins in suprabasal cells, forming disulfide-crosslinked dimers that may support the physical stability of the esophageal lining.

This study characterized proteins in hair-follicle and hair tissue, identifying similar protein types but with notable quantitative differences, which may reveal aspects of keratin protein synthesis.

This study found that the peach gene CTG134, involved in auxin-ethylene interactions, plays a role in hormonal regulation during root hair formation in Arabidopsis and tobacco.

This study identified collagen XXII as a novel extracellular matrix protein specifically present at tissue junctions, where it functions as a cell adhesion ligand for skin epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

This study investigated the immunohistochemical characteristics of keratin proteins in epidermal appendages, finding variable staining patterns in different skin structures and tumor cells, which suggests differences in keratinization.

This study found that the peach gene CTG134 mediates auxin-ethylene crosstalk, affecting root hair growth and hormone-regulated processes in plants.

This review discusses the role of peptidylarginine deiminases in skin homeostasis and diseases, particularly in keratinocyte differentiation and hair disorders, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This review explores the potential of self-amplifying RNA technology for protein replacement therapy in various health disorders but reports no new experimental results, indicating challenges remain for clinical approval.

This study found that hyaluronic acid increased the size and cell proliferation of mixed aggregates in a 3D culture model, indicating its role in human hair follicle germ-like structure formation without enhancing dermal papilla cell markers.

This study identified polymorphisms in HGT-KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 genes in Argentine llamas that may impact fiber characteristics by altering amino acid residues critical for keratin-associated protein properties.
