research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.

A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
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 Loss of Keratin K2 Expression Causes Aberrant Aggregation of K10, Hyperkeratosis, and Inflammation
Loss of keratin K2 causes skin problems and inflammation.
research Histologic morphology and involucrin, filaggrin, and keratin expression in normal canine skin from dogs of different breeds and coat types
Different dog breeds have varying skin thickness and protein expression in their skin.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Induction of Hair Keratins Expression by an Annurca Apple-Based Nutraceutical Formulation in Human Follicular Cells
An apple-based supplement was found to stimulate hair protein production, which may help with hair growth.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin gene expression helps understand different types of skin cells and their development, and should be used carefully as biological markers.
research The relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis
Keratin 18 helps diagnose and predict cancer progression and affects cancer growth and spread.
research Low Molecular Weight Collagen Peptide (LMWCP) Promotes Hair Growth by Activating the Wnt/GSK-3β/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
A type of collagen helps hair grow by boosting cell growth and activating a specific hair growth pathway.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
Trichohyalin is also found in the outer layers of normal human skin.
research Isolation of epithelial stem cells from dermis by a three-dimensional culture system
Researchers isolated a new type of stem cell from mouse skin that can renew itself and turn into multiple cell types.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Acute sensitivity of the oral mucosa to oncogenic K‐ras
Oncogenic K-ras causes rapid cancerous changes in the mouth's lining.
research Establishment of a culture model for the prolonged maintenance of chicken feather follicles structure in vitro
Scientists have developed a method to keep chicken feather follicles alive and structurally intact in a lab for up to a week.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Lipid nanoparticles for topical and transdermal delivery of pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals
Lipid nanoparticles improve drug delivery through the skin, offering stability, controlled release, and better compatibility with skin.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Polymeric nanoparticles‐based topical delivery systems for the treatment of dermatological diseases
Polymeric nanoparticles show promise for treating skin diseases.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cutaneous wound healing: Where we are and where we are heading
