420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Culture of hair matrix and follicular keratinocytes
research The expanding significance of keratin intermediate filaments in normal and diseased epithelia
Keratin proteins are increasingly recognized as important for cell health and are linked to many diseases.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues. I. Human and bovine hair follicles
Human and bovine hair follicles have distinct cytokeratins specific to hair-forming cells.
research Planar cell polarity effector gene Intu regulates cell fate-specific differentiation of keratinocytes through the primary cilia
Intu gene is crucial for hair follicle formation by helping keratinocytes differentiate through primary cilia.
research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney Complex are caused by a gene change in some skin cells that leads to increased pigmentation and may lead to tumors.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research 1229 Melanocyte cell states defined and visualized in developing mouse skin
Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.

Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Hair and nail disorders
Hair and nail disorders can cause changes in scalp pigmentation, especially with sun exposure and alopecia.
research Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation: a common but troubling condition
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized treatment.
research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin gene expression helps understand different types of skin cells and their development, and should be used carefully as biological markers.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
