Research
360-390 / 1000+ results 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 Characterization of Bsk mice: I. The Bsk mutation does not involve a recombination of cornea-specific keratin 12 and skin-specific hair keratin genes.
The Bsk mutation doesn't involve keratin gene recombination and its cause is unknown.
research Australian Hair and Wool Research Society Cutaneous Biology and Endocrinology Workshop
The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
research The Two Functional Keratin 6 Genes of Mouse Are Differentially Regulated and Evolved Independently from Their Human Orthologs
Mouse keratin 6 genes evolved independently from human ones and are regulated differently.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Keratin film made of human hair as a nail plate model for studying drug permeation
Keratin films from human hair can potentially replace human nail plates for drug testing.
research A mutation in the hair matrix and cuticle keratin KRTHB5 gene causes ectodermal dysplasia of hair and nail type
A mutation in the KRTHB5 gene causes hair and nail issues.
research The Type I Keratin 19 Possesses Distinct and Context-dependent Assembly Properties
Keratin 19 forms less stable and shorter filaments than keratin 14, giving unique traits to certain skin cells.
research Hedgehog Signaling, Keratin 6 Induction, and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis
Hedgehog signaling is essential for normal sebaceous gland development and affects keratin 6a expression.
research Madarosis
Madarosis is the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows due to various health issues and requires thorough examination to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
research Genes for Hair and Avian Keratins
Keratin genes help explain how hair and feathers develop differently in mammals and birds.
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 In vivo formation steps of the hard α-keratin intermediate filament along a hair follicle: Evidence for structural polymorphism
Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Putative Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Expressed in Embryonic Skin of Mice
The 4C32 gene may help in mouse skin development and differentiation.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
