research 702 dsRNA induces ectopic KRT9 expression via WNT/β-catenin-mediated signaling
Double-stranded RNA activates a pathway that causes a skin protein to be expressed in the wrong place.
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 The Region Coding for the Helix Termination Motif and the Adjacent Intron 6 of the Human Type I Hair Keratin Gene hHa2 Contains Three Natural, Closely Spaced Polymorphic Sites
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.

KGF-1 135 is a stable and effective alternative for treating oral mucositis.
research Immunohistochemical detection of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes in cultured human epidermal cells.
Foreskin keratinocytes and SVK14 cells express certain cytochrome P450 enzymes, unlike hair follicle keratinocytes.
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.
