270-300 / 1000+ resultsresearch Ultrastructure of the contrasting types of keratinization seen in the tail epidermis of the laboratory mouseMus musculus
Mouse tail skin has different keratinization near hair follicles and scales.
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 Types I and II Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.
research Genetic disorders of keratin: are scarring alopecias a sub-set?
Keratin mutations may cause scarring alopecia by damaging hair structure.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Keratin Promotes Differentiation of Keratinocytes Seeded on Collagen/Keratin Hydrogels
Keratin helps skin cells mature when added to a collagen mix, which could be important for skin and hair health.
research The Proteins of Hair and Other Hard α-Keratins
research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research Mutations in the Keratin 85 (KRT85/hHb5) Gene Underlie Pure Hair and Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia
Mutations in the KRT85 gene cause hair and nail problems.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
research Large Intragenic KRT1 Deletion Underlying Atypical Autosomal Dominant Keratinopathic Ichthyosis
A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.
research Type I Keratin 17 Protein Is Phosphorylated on Serine 44 by p90 Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase 1 (RSK1) in a Growth- and Stress-dependent Fashion
Keratin 17 is modified by RSK1 in response to growth and stress, affecting skin growth and stress response.
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
