This review discusses how research on keratin biology has enhanced the understanding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and indicates potential new therapeutic approaches, but it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that the GGC repeat length significantly influenced testosterone levels in oral contraceptive users from high-risk breast cancer families, and homozygosity for short alleles may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.

This study proposes a simple fluorescence method to evaluate hair damage and protection, suggesting that emissive properties of hair can aid in substantiating cosmetic claims.

This study found that human peptidylarginine deiminase type III is the predominant isoform in hair follicles and may modulate structural proteins during hair and hair follicle formation.

This study used whole-genome sequence data to identify numerous putative causal variants and genes affecting key wool traits and skin wrinkle in Merino sheep, highlighting their polygenic and pleiotropic nature.

This study found that repeated oral intake of 0.5 or 5 mg/kg of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles induced pulmonary toxicity in rats, with dose-dependent oxidative stress and inflammation observed, but no notable toxicity was seen at a 0.05 mg/kg dose.

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 genetic regions evolving at different rates in hairless mammals, suggesting that specific genomic changes may contribute to the evolution of hairlessness across various species.

In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.

This article discusses the use of forensic DNA phenotyping to infer physical characteristics from biological samples without a reference sample, aiding investigations but raising ethical and legal concerns.

This study reported that newly developed RADA16-I peptide hybrids, with active motifs like GHK and KGHK, demonstrated improved wound healing in a mouse skin injury model without cytotoxicity, suggesting they might be effective scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration.

This study developed a novel smart deoxyribozyme-based fluorescent sensor that efficiently detects androgen receptor mRNA with high selectivity and can be adapted to target various nucleic acid sequences.

This study found no significant association between the MMP-1 gene polymorphisms rs1799750 and androgenetic alopecia in the sample population.

This study reported high analytical performance of an RMP for DHT quantification, with the ability to differentiate between 5α-DHT and 5β-DHT isomers, making it suitable for routine assay standardization and clinical sample evaluation.

This review discusses the psychological importance of hair and explores how various hair cosmetics can affect hair health, emphasizing that certain products can lead to acute hair problems when repeatedly altering the natural style.

In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.

This article outlines methods to study the skin and its molecular traits, focusing on interpretation and techniques applicable to mouse models, including diverse assays and approaches like electron microscopy and large-scale lipid analyses.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This review found that many low-level light therapy studies report beneficial effects but often fail to provide adequate measurement details, affecting the reliability and repeatability of the research.

This study found that storing horse hair follicles in RNAlater® at cool or room temperature for up to a week did not affect RNA integrity, suggesting it allows for flexible sample transport without immediate freezing.

This review discusses the developments over the past five years in nanozyme-based theranostics for tumor therapy, including their classification, design, and synergistic strategies. It also outlines the challenges and prospects of using nanozymes to enhance selectivity, biosafety, repeatability, and stability in therapeutic applications.

This review discusses advances in forensic DNA profiling, highlighting new genetic markers and methods for identifying unknown individuals, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers developed a simplified and reliable method to prepare human hair shaft samples, achieving over 75% protein extraction efficiency and improved keratin sequence coverage, with the approach showing high reproducibility across different labs and operators.

In this study, researchers developed a self-assembling hydrogel called RADA-PDGF2 and found it to accelerate wound closure in a mouse model due to its pro-proliferative and pro-migratory properties, without causing cytotoxicity or immunogenicity.

This study found that specific genetic markers near the androgen receptor gene are significantly more common in men with male pattern baldness, suggesting a genetic component in its development.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

This study identified a 582-bp deletion upstream of LHX2 in cashmere goats, likely linked to hair follicle development and cashmere production, providing insights into genetic factors in cashmere trait selection.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the structural hierarchy of trichocyte keratins, including their heterodimeric structure and distinct conformations impacting hair growth, with no new experimental results reported.

This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.
