This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.

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

Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.

This review discusses the evolutionary history of keratins and reports no new results, highlighting key events that contributed to the development of mammalian hair and integument.

This review discusses the diversity of keratins and keratin-associated proteins in wool and hair, noting significant variation in their families, with no new results reported; the authors detail known protein structures without experimental findings.
