Research
90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch Isolation and Characterization of Human Repetin, a Member of the Fused Gene Family of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
research Serine-rich ultra high sulfur protein gene expression in murine hair and skin during the hair cycle
research Pili Trianguli et Canaliculi Is a Defect of Inner Root Sheath Keratinization
The hair defect is due to abnormal inner root sheath keratinization.
research Apoptosis and keratin intermediate filaments
research Hair follicle-specific keratins and their diseases
Only a few hair-specific keratins are linked to inherited hair disorders.
research Diversity of Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
Hair and wool have diverse keratins and keratin-associated proteins.
research Specific Keratins and their Associated Proteins as Markers for Hair Follicle Differentiation
research Protein chains in hair and epidermal keratin IF: Structural features and spatial arrangements
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Monilethrix: an ultrastructural study
Monilethrix hair issues are due to problems in the hair's internodes.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues II. Concomitant and mutually exclusive synthesis of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in diverse human and bovine tissues (hair follicle, nail bed and matrix, lingual papilla, thymic reticulum)
Trichocytic cytokeratins are found in hair, nails, tongue, and thymus cells, showing complex regulation in tissue development.
research Follicular ichthyosis
The four patients have a unique type of ichthyosis affecting hair follicles.
research The structure of human trichohyalin. Potential multiple roles as a functional EF-hand-like calcium-binding protein, a cornified cell envelope precursor, and an intermediate filament-associated (cross-linking) protein
Trichohyalin helps in hair and skin cell structure and function by binding calcium and linking proteins.
research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research Ultrastructural localization of hair keratin homologs in the claw of the lizard Anolis carolinensis
Lizard claws have hair-like keratins similar to those in mammals.
research Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

research VAGINAL KERATINIZATION IN VITRO*
research Human hair follicle cells of outer root sheath maintain their genuine keratin expression in vitro
research BMP4 and nuclear laminC orchestrate a expression of AHF/Trichohyalin molecule, a key modulator of keratin intermediate filaments in the hair follicle
research Tinea Capitis: An Overview with Emphasis on Management
New antifungal treatments for a children's scalp infection are effective and safe, but it's not decided if they will become the preferred option over the old treatment.
research Topical ketoconazole: a systematic review of current dermatological applications and future developments
Ketoconazole cream is effective for skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and may help with hair loss and other skin issues, with generally mild side effects.
research The first case report of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus
A rare fungal infection on a child's scalp was successfully treated with antifungal medication.

Specific keratin gene mutations can cause monilethrix.
research Human hair keratin-associated proteins: Sequence regularities and structural implications
Keratin-associated proteins help link filaments and affect keratin's strength.
research Keratin
Understanding how keratin structures in hair are arranged and interact is key for creating methods to extract and purify them.
research Purification of Porcine Hair Keratin Subunits and Their Immobilization for Use as Cell Culture Substrates
Type II porcine hair keratin supports cell growth but hinders cell differentiation.
research Structure and expression of genes for a class of cysteine-rich proteins of the cuticle layers of differentiating wool and hair follicles.
