90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch Keratins as an Inflammation Trigger Point in Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex
Mutant keratins cause inflammation in Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, suggesting targeting them could help treat the disorder.
research Cysteine Prevents the Reduction in Keratin Synthesis Induced by Iron Deficiency in Human Keratinocytes
Cysteine helps maintain keratin production in skin cells even when iron is low.
research Selective Ablation of Ctip2/Bcl11b in Epidermal Keratinocytes Triggers Atopic Dermatitis-Like Skin Inflammatory Responses in Adult Mice
Removing Ctip2 in skin cells causes skin inflammation similar to atopic dermatitis.
research Epidermal keratinocytes initiate wound healing and pro-inflammatory immune responses following percutaneous schistosome infection
Epidermal keratinocytes start wound healing and inflammation after schistosome infection.
research GRHL3 binding and enhancers rearrange as epidermal keratinocytes transition between functional states
GRHL3 is important for controlling gene activity in skin cells during different stages of their development.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Disturbed Keratinocyte Differentiation in Transgenic Mice and Organotypic Keratinocyte Cultures as a Result of Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Overexpression
Overexpression of SSAT causes hair loss and skin issues, but reducing putrescine can help.
research The extraction and characterization of human nail keratin
Human nails contain both skin and hair keratins, each needing different extraction methods.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Loss of keratin 10 is accompanied by increased sebocyte proliferation and differentiation
Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research Establishment and characterization of a canine keratinocyte organoid culture system
A new method to study dog skin diseases using lab-grown skin cells was developed.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Hair Keratins and Hair Follicle–Specific Epithelial Keratins
Hair and follicle keratins differ in structure and expression, especially in cysteine content.
research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells
ORS and hair matrix cells balance growth and differentiation better than normal keratinocytes, with human dermal fibroblasts crucial for proper differentiation.
research Potassium Channel Openers Stimulate DNA Synthesis in Mouse Epidermal Keratinocyte and Whole Hair Follicle Cultures
Potassium channel openers can boost hair growth by stimulating DNA in hair follicles.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.

Spiny keratoderma may be ectopic hair formation on palms and soles.
research Lack of androgen receptor transcriptional activity in human keratinocytes
Human keratinocytes do not naturally respond to androgens.
