December 2011 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that subtle modifications in ribosomal RNA methylation may influence cellular physiology and contribute to ribosome specialization in senescent human dermal fibroblasts.

July 2015 in “Journal of Cellular Biochemistry” This study found that cysteine supplementation significantly increases keratin expression in human keratinocytes, and counteracts the negative impact of iron deficiency on keratin production by enhancing iron availability for cellular processes.
