150-180 / 1000+ resultsresearch Understanding the Nano‐topography Changes and Cellular Influences Resulting from the Surface Adsorption of Human Hair Keratins
Human hair keratins improve cell adhesion and growth on culture surfaces.
research Immunohistochemical demonstration of keratins 8 and 14 in benign tumours of the skin appendage
Keratins 8 and 14 can help identify and diagnose benign skin tumors.
research Human hair keratins promote the regeneration of peripheral nerves in a rat sciatic nerve crush model
Human hair keratin helps repair nerve damage in rats.
research Ageing processes influence keratin and KAP expression in human hair follicles
Aging causes changes in hair follicles, leading to weaker hair growth.
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 Genes for Hair and Avian Keratins
Keratin genes help explain how hair and feathers develop differently in mammals and birds.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum gypseum in vitro
Microsporum gypseum fungus breaks down keratin in hair by digesting it enzymatically, starting with less keratinized parts.
research Development, Structure, and Keratin Expression in C57BL/6J Mouse Eccrine Glands
The study found that mouse sweat glands develop before birth, mature after birth, and have specific keratin patterns.
research Damage of hair follicle stem cells and alteration of keratin expression in external radiation-induced acute alopecia
Radiation damages hair stem cells and changes keratin expression, with Krt5 as a potential marker for radiation effects.
research Localization of Merkel cells at hairless and hairy human skin sites using keratin 18
Merkel cells are more densely found in hairless skin areas like palms and soles.
research Suprabasal change and subsequent formation of disulfide-stabilized homo- and hetero-dimers of keratins during esophageal epithelial differentiation
Keratins K4 and K13 form stable dimers in mature esophageal cells, aiding cell stability.
research Recombinant human hair keratin proteins for halting bleeding
Recombinant human hair keratin proteins can effectively stop bleeding.

Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Identification of somatic and germline mosaicism for a keratin 5 mutation in epidermolysis bullosa simplex in a family of which the proband was previously regarded as a sporadic case
The keratin 5 mutation in a family with epidermolysis bullosa simplex was due to mosaicism, not a new mutation.
research Monilethrix: a keratin hHb6 mutation is co‐dominant with variable expression
A keratin hHb6 mutation causes a hair disorder with varying severity, influenced by other factors.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
