research A keratin scaffold regulates epidermal barrier formation, mitochondrial lipid composition, and activity
Keratin is crucial for skin barrier formation and affects mitochondrial function.
research Genomic Organization, Transcriptomic Analysis, and Functional Characterization of Avian α- and β-Keratins in Diverse Feather Forms
Feather diversity is due to different keratin gene combinations, and chickens can help study human keratin diseases.
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 Vitamin D3Analogs Stimulate Hair Growth in Nude Mice
Vitamin D3 analogs can promote hair growth in mice genetically prone to hair loss.
