research Expression of novel keratin associated protein 5 genes in the cuticle layer of human hair follicles
The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.
research 1103 Derinat extends hair cycle at anagen phase by decreasing the level of TRPCs-mediated intracellular ROS accumulation in skin
Derinat helps extend hair growth by reducing harmful molecules in skin cells.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research KRT17 promotes endometrial cancer cell migration as well as angiogenesis by regulating HIF-1α/VEGF pathway
KRT17 may be a new target for endometrial cancer treatment because it helps cancer cells move and form new blood vessels.
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 Three-dimensional modelling of interchain sequence similarities and differences in the coiled-coil segments of keratin intermediate filament heterodimers highlight features important in assembly
