510-540 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 [Immunohistochemical study on the keratin expression in generating rat hair tissues using anti-hair keratin monoclonal antibodies].
Hair germ cells differ from epidermal cells in keratin expression, and specific keratins form after hair differentiation.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Unique amino acid signatures that are evolutionarily conserved distinguish simple-type, epidermal and hair keratins
Different keratin types have unique amino acid patterns that are evolutionarily conserved.

Scientists created 3D hair-like structures that could help study hair growth and test treatments.
research The Ultrastructure of Tissue Attached to Telogen Hair Roots
Recognizing specific tissue types on telogen hair roots can improve DNA typing.
research Development of a mechanically stable human hair keratin film for cell culture
A new film made from human hair supports skin cell growth better than collagen.
research The Intermediate Filament Architecture as Determined by X-Ray Diffraction Modeling of Hard α-Keratin
Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.
research Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves Using Neuroinductive Biomaterial Scaffolds
Keratin biomaterials can effectively aid peripheral nerve regeneration and improve recovery.

research Epidermal and hair follicle trans glutaminases and crosslinking in skin
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research Keratin 75 Is a Component of the LINC Complex and Has an Essential Role in Mediating the SOX2 Rapid Healing Response during Wound Repair
Keratin 75 is important for fast wound healing and works with SOX2 and the LINC complex to help skin cells move and repair damage.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues
Trichocytic differentiation starts in cells with epithelial cytokeratins, transitioning to trichocytic cytokeratins in hair and gradually in nails.
research Reconstruction of hair follicle-like structure with hair follicle cells on collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds
Hair follicle-like structures can be created using hair cells on collagen/chitosan scaffolds.
research 839 Spatiotemporal antagonism in mesenchymal-epithelial Signaling in sweat versus hair fate decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.
research Nuclear Topology, Epigenetics, and Keratinocyte Differentiation
Nuclear shape and chromatin changes affect gene expression in skin cell differentiation.
research Immunohistochemical demonstration of keratins in the epidermal layers of the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica), with remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Keratins in Malayan pangolins vary by region, suggesting scales evolved from the tail towards the head.
