research A homozygous missense variant in type I keratin KRT25 causes autosomal recessive woolly hair
A genetic variant in the KRT25 gene causes tightly curled hair.
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 Keratin Biomaterials Activate Schwann Cells via Integrin‐Mediated Signaling and Promote Regeneration of Large Peripheral Nerve Defects in a Rabbit Model
Keratin biomaterials from human hair help nerve regeneration by activating Schwann cells.
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Expression patterns of keratin intermediate filament and keratin associated protein genes in wool follicles
Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Keratin expression in mammalian skin, hair and nail [Abstract]
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research Trichocyte Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)
research Study on the distribution of hair keratin in normal hair follicles by immunohistochemical staining
Different keratins in hair follicles can help identify hair tumor origins.
research Structural and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Keratinization in Vertebrate Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives
Vertebrate skin evolved to be more specialized and complex, especially in land animals.
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Classification and Frequency of Crown Whirlpool Patterns in Male Hair Transplant Patients
Understanding crown whorl patterns can improve hair transplant results for men.
research Characterization of nonkeratinous proteins extracted from human hair by permanet wave lotion.
Permanent wave lotion can extract proteins from hair, especially when pH is higher, and repeated treatments or bleaching can damage hair.
research Evidence for Novel Functions of the Keratin Tail Emerging from a Mutation Causing Ichthyosis Hystrix
The keratin tail is crucial for skin structure and function.
research α-parvin is required for epidermal morphogenesis, hair follicle development and basal keratinocyte polarity
α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratins and involucrin in calcifying epithelioma: comparative studies with normal skin
Calcifying epithelioma cells can differentiate into hair cortex and outer root sheath.
research Seborrheic karatosis, a tumor of the infundibular and isthmus of hair follicles: Identification of hair sheath keratins and histopathological features suggesting hair follicle origin.
Seborrheic keratosis likely originates from the upper regions of hair follicles.
research The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Cells in hair die by breaking down their DNA and mitochondria as they form keratin.
