research UNCONVENTIONAL PROTEIN SECRETION OF KERATIN 75 BY AMELOBLASTS IN VIVO
Keratin-75 is secreted by ameloblasts in a unique way without a signal peptide.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research 440 Topical application of anti-cancer drug Bortezomib stimulates proliferation of follicular cells and induces expression of hair keratins via GATA-3 transcription factor

Activating the Eda/Edar pathway improves wound healing by enhancing hair follicle growth.
research Sparse hair in a female toddler
Iron supplements may reverse premature graying in iron-deficient individuals; ingrown nails are common in diabetics with certain risk factors; topical finasteride may reduce scalp DHT as effectively as oral finasteride; monilethrix treatment is challenging but some medications can help.
research Prevalance, clinical features and evaluation of the risk factors for onychocriptosis in adult diabetic patients in outpatient clinic
Diabetic patients often have ingrown nails due to obesity, high blood pressure, past injuries, bad nail trimming, nail fungus, weak foot pulse, and weak knee reflex.
research Premature graying of scalp hairs treated with ferrous sulfate
Iron supplements may reverse premature hair graying caused by iron deficiency.

research Evaluation of hair follicles as a surrogate tissue for pharmacodynamics response in xenograft tumors
Hair follicles can be used to quickly assess drug effects in cancer treatment.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Single and repeated dose of finasteride topical solution in subjects with androgenetic alopecia: A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study
Finasteride solution helps treat hair loss.
research KRT16 wt Allele
