research Existence of trichohyalin-keratohyalin hybrid granules: Co-localization of two major intermediate filament-associated proteins in non-follicular epithelia
Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research Regeneration of Epidermal and Dental Tissues, Lens and Cornea
Most vertebrates can regenerate skin, nails, and corneas, but only some can regenerate teeth and lenses.
research Keratin 15 Expression in Stratified Epithelia: Downregulation in Activated Keratinocytes
Keratin 15 helps maintain tissue integrity and is reduced in activated keratinocytes.
