research Defining a Region of the Human Keratin 6a Gene That Confers Inducible Expression in Stratified Epithelia of Transgenic Mice
The human keratin 6a gene's specific sequences trigger expression in skin layers after injury.
research An unexpected role for keratin 10 end domains in susceptibility to skin cancer
Keratin 10 end domains may increase skin cancer risk by reducing cell death.
research Induction of hair follicle dermal papilla cell properties in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived multipotent LNGFR(+)THY-1(+) mesenchymal cells
Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research The extraction and characterization of human nail keratin
Human nails contain both skin and hair keratins, each needing different extraction methods.
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 Thyroid hormone action in epidermal development and homeostasis and its implications in the pathophysiology of the skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
research The Aldo-Keto Reductase AKR1B10 Is Up-Regulated in Keloid Epidermis, Implicating Retinoic Acid Pathway Dysregulation in the Pathogenesis of Keloid Disease
AKR1B10 enzyme may cause keloid scars and could be a treatment target.
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
The study concluded that PKP1 is essential for skin integrity and hair growth, and its dysfunction causes the symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.
research Oxidative stress management in the hair follicle: Could targeting NRF2 counter age‐related hair disorders and beyond?
Activating NRF2 might help treat hair disorders by improving antioxidant defenses.
research Advances in Understanding Hair Growth
Understanding glycans and enzymes that alter them is key to controlling hair growth.
research Advanced Inhibition of Undesired Human Hair Growth by PPARγ Modulation?
GMG-43AC may help reduce unwanted hair growth and treat certain hair loss conditions.
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.
research Thyroxine (T4) may promote re-epithelialisation and angiogenesis in wounded human skin ex vivo
Thyroxine (T4) may help heal skin wounds by promoting new skin and blood vessel growth.
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Novel Therapeutic Hybrid Systems Using Hydrogels and Nanotechnology: A Focus on Nanoemulgels for the Treatment of Skin Diseases
Nanoemulgels could effectively treat skin diseases and may replace or complement current therapies.
research Bioengineered Skin Intended as In Vitro Model for Pharmacosmetics, Skin Disease Study and Environmental Skin Impact Analysis
Bioengineered skin models help reduce animal testing and advance research in cosmetics and skin disease.
research Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals
Marine mammals lost many α-keratin genes, aiding their adaptation to aquatic life by becoming hairless.
research Skin transcriptome profiling of Changthangi goats highlights the relevance of genes involved in Pashmina production
Changthangi goats have specific genes that help produce Pashmina wool.
research Topical Gene Electrotransfer to the Epidermis of Hairless Guinea Pig by Non-Invasive Multielectrode Array
