180-210 / 1000+ resultsresearch Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
research Keratin expression by corneal and limbal stem cells during development
Different types of cells in the eye express specific keratins at various stages of development.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research Type 2 Cytokine–Dependent Skin Barrier Regulation in Personalized 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional Skin Models of Atopic Dermatitis: A Pilot Study
AD-derived keratinocytes effectively mimic inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
research In This Issue

Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research 878 Individual variation in balance between platelet-secreted growth factors causing contradictory effects on hair follicle could potentially impact response to PRP therapy in patients with scalp hair loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research 879 IL-9 mediated human primary keratinocytes invasion is dependent on MLC controlled contractility and independent of MMP activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
