research Autosomal Recessive Transmission of a Rare KRT74 Variant Causes Hair and Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia: Allelism with Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A rare gene variant causes hair and nail issues in a family.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research Coexpression of Keratins Characteristic of Skin and Hair Differentiation in Nail Cells
research Upregulation of genes orchestrating keratinocyte differentiation, including the novel marker gene ID2, by contact sensitizers in human bulge‐derived keratinocytes
The ID2 gene can help distinguish between sensitizers and irritants in skin cells.

research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Cloning of a putative keratin-associated protein cDNA expressed in various mouse tissues other than hair follicles
Keratin-associated proteins may have roles in various mouse tissues, not just hair.
research Probing keratinocyte and differentiation specificity of the human K5 promoter in vitro and in transgenic mice.
The K5 promoter controls gene expression in skin cells, with specific DNA segments crucial for targeting and regulation.
research 688 Precise and efficient editing of the COL7A1 gene in RDEB derived iPSCs with CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing
