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 Keratins 6, 16, and 17 in Health and Disease: A Summary of Recent Findings
Keratins 6, 16, and 17 increase in damaged or diseased skin and may help diagnose skin issues.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research Modulation of the differentiated phenotype of keratinocytes of the hair follicle and from epidermis
Hair follicle cells need complex interactions to fully differentiate.
research In-vivo dedifferentiation of keratinocytes to epidermal stem cells
Keratinocytes might turn into stem cells, but more research is needed to confirm this.
