research Author response: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
research Human keratinocytes derived from the bulge region of hair follicles are refractory to differentiation
Hair follicle cells resist turning into skin cells.
research Corneal epithelial‐like transdifferentiation of hair follicle stem cells is mediated by pax6 and β‐catenin/Lef‐1
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells with the help of pax6.
research Distinct fibroblast lineages determine dermal architecture in skin development and repair
Two fibroblast types shape skin structure and repair differently.
research Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) forms part of the connective tissue of normal human hair follicles
A protein called COMP is part of the connective tissue in normal human hair follicles and may be important for hair health.
research Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
research KERION MICROSPORICUM WITH HEMATOGENOUS AND ECTOGENOUS MICROSPORIDS
A rare scalp infection in a child developed into a kerion with additional skin symptoms.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research Building Models for Keratin Disorders
Krt16-deficient mice help understand skin disorders like PC and FNEPPK.
research Krtap11-1, a hair keratin-associated protein, as a possible crucial element for the physical properties of hair shafts
Krtap11-1 is important for hair strength and structure.
research The molecular basis of human keratin disorders
research Skin structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research Keratinocyte stem cells of cornea, skin and hair follicles
Keratinocyte stem cells help regenerate and repair cornea, skin, and hair.
research Keratin 17 Expression in the Hard Epithelial Context of the Hair and Nail, and its Relevance for the Pachyonychia Congenita Phenotype
Keratin 17 is important for hair and nail structure and affects pachyonychia congenita symptoms.
research Characterization of sciellin, a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes
Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
research Cultured Keratinocyte Sheets Enhanced Spontaneous Re-Epithelialization in a Dermal Explant Model of Partial-Thickness Wound Healing
research Regular expression of hair follicle keratins as crucial factors in tissue engineering of hair follicles
Keratins are key to developing and regenerating hair follicles for treating hair loss.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium into epidermis occurs by means of a multistep process triggered by dermal developmental signals
Corneal cells can transform into skin and hair cells through specific signals.
research The secret life of the hair follicle
Hair follicles create different cell layers and proteins, controlled by various molecules.

Keratin from human hair shows promise for medical uses like wound healing and tissue engineering.
research Keratinization and its Disorders
Mutations in keratin genes can cause skin and mucosa disorders.
research A two-phase model of skin epidermal stratification: lessons from centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
