Pachyonychia congenita is linked to a keratin gene on chromosome 17.
research Dissection of a Complex Enhancer Element: Maintenance of Keratinocyte Specificity but Loss of Differentiation Specificity
Keratinocyte gene expression is controlled by multiple modules with specific binding sites.
research Recessive Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Phenotype Reproduced in Vitro
Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Discovery of a novel murine keratin 6 (K6) isoform explains the absence of hair and nail defects in mice deficient for K6a and K6b
A new keratin 6 type in mice explains why some mice without certain keratin genes still have normal hair and nails.
research Growth of human hair follicle keratinocytes in vitro
The model successfully grew and differentiated hair follicle cells in the lab.
research A 4kb Fragment of the Desmocollin 3 Promoter Directs Reporter Gene Expression to Parakeratotic Epidermis and Primary Hair Follicles
A 4kb fragment of the desmocollin 3 promoter targets gene expression to specific skin and hair follicle areas.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Stabilizes Hemidesmosomes in Keratinocytes
Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for keeping skin cell attachment structures stable.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research Cytokeratin expression of apocrine and eccrine poromas with special reference to its expression in cuticular cells
Poromas are related to sweat duct cells, and CK patterns help distinguish apocrine poromas from other neoplasms.
research Human hair follicle cells of outer root sheath maintain their genuine keratin expression in vitro
research K15 & Id3 expression in intact and regenerating adult vibrissae rodent hair follicles
K15 and Id3 are important in hair follicle regeneration, with K15 increasing in early stages and Id3 responding later.
research Rescuing key native traits in cultured dermal papilla cells for human hair regeneration
Conditioned medium from keratinocytes can improve hair growth potential in cultured dermal papilla cells.
research Histogenesis of keratoacanthoma: histochemical and immunohistochemical study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
