Human hair follicles grown in vitro maintain normal keratin patterns and structure.
research Expression patterns of hair and epithelial keratins and transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and β‐catenin in a malignant pilomatricoma: a histological and immunohistochemical study
The malignant pilomatricoma showed strong epithelial keratin expression, suggesting it may not calcify.
research Epidermal Deletion of Rac1 Causes Stem Cell Depletion, Irrespective of whether Deletion Occurs during Embryogenesis or Adulthood
Deleting Rac1 in the skin depletes stem cells and damages hair follicles.
research Immunolocalization of Scaffoldin, a Trichohyalin‐Like Protein, in the Epidermis of the Chicken Embryo
