research Analysis of hairless corepressor mutants to characterize molecular cooperation with the vitamin D receptor in promoting the mammalian hair cycle
Certain mutations in the hairless protein disrupt its ability to regulate the hair cycle.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Stabilizes Hemidesmosomes in Keratinocytes
Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for keeping skin cell attachment structures stable.
research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks

research Mutations in the hair cortex keratin hHb6 cause the inherited hair disease monilethrix
research Roles for Msx and Dlx homeoproteins in vertebrate development
Msx and Dlx genes are crucial for development, controlling cell behaviors like growth and differentiation through their roles as gene regulators.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.

Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research Cyclic Alopecia and Abnormal Epidermal Cornification in Zdhhc13 -Deficient Mice Reveal the Importance of Palmitoylation in Hair and Skin Differentiation
The enzyme DHHC13 is essential for healthy hair and skin, and its deficiency leads to hair loss and skin problems.
research Desmosomes in Developing Human Epidermis
Desmosomes are crucial for human skin development, increasing in density as the skin matures.
