Keratin-based hydrogels from human hair and wool are promising for wound dressings and are more eco-friendly.
research Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
The hHa7 gene is regulated by androgens in certain body hair, not scalp hair.
research Significance of stress keratin expression in normal and diseased epithelia
Stress keratins are expressed less in diseased skin and are linked to differentiation, inflammation, and immunity.
research Two Mechanisms Regulate Keratin K15 Expression In Keratinocytes: Role of PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1 Mediated Signalling
Keratin 15 expression in skin cells is regulated by two mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1.
research The Hairless Phenotype of the Hirosaki Hairless Rat Is Due to the Deletion of an 80-kb Genomic DNA Containing Five Basic Keratin Genes
Hirosaki hairless rats lack hair due to missing DNA with key keratin genes.
research Cloning of human, murine, and marsupial keratin 7 and a survey of K7 expression in the mouse
The research cloned keratin 7 genes from humans, mice, and marsupials, found similarities between human and mouse genes, and discovered new areas of K7 expression in mice.
research A Novel Mouse Type I Intermediate Filament Gene, Keratin 17n (K17n), Exhibits Preferred Expression in Nail Tissue
A new mouse gene, Keratin 17n, is mainly found in nail tissue and may explain why mice without Keratin 17 don't have nail issues.
research Damage of hair follicle stem cells and alteration of keratin expression in external radiation-induced acute alopecia
Radiation damages hair stem cells and changes keratin expression, with Krt5 as a potential marker for radiation effects.
