Keratin Dynamics: Modeling the Interplay between Turnover and Transport [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Keratin are among the most abundant proteins in epithelial cells. Functions of the keratin network in cells are shaped by their dynamical organization. Using a collection of experimentally-driven mathematical models, different hypotheses for the turnover

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1976 Early studies have already shown that the tonofibrils of malpighian cells consist of a --SH containing fibrous alpha-protein. It was assumed that the highly resistant protective substance, keratin, was formed by the conversion of --SH groups into --S--S--bonds in this protein.

Valorization of keratin biofibers for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions [PDF]
, 2018 Four common waste keratin biofibers (human hair, dog hair, chicken feathers, and degreased wool) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Different parameters of the biosorption processes were optimized in

Non-invasive depth profiling of the stratum corneum in vivo using confocal Raman microscopy considering the non-homogeneous distribution of keratin [PDF]
, 2019 Confocal Raman microscopy has a number of advantages in investigating the human stratum corneum (SC) in vivo and ex vivo. The penetration profiles of xenobiotics in the SC, as well as depth profiles of the physiological parameters of the SC, such as the ...

Sedimentation Studies of Epidermal Keratins. Keratin A and Keratin B [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1956 Electrophoretically homogeneous keratin A and keratin B were studied in the ultracentrifuge. Both preparations revealed two fractions: one which sedimented rapidly and another which sedimented slowly. This indicated that both preparations are heterogeneous with respect to particle size.

Pathophysiology of keratinization
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2018 Cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Keratins are diverse proteins. These intermediate filaments maintain the structural integrity of the keratinocytes. The word keratin covers these intermediate filament-forming proteins within the keratinocytes.

Transient activaton of β-catenin signalling in adult mouse epidermis is sufficient to induce new hair follicles but continuous activation is required to maintain hair follicle tumours [PDF]
, 2004 When β-catenin signalling is disturbed from mid-gestation onwards lineage commitment is profoundly altered in postnatal mouse epidermis. We have investigated whether adult epidermis has the capacity for β-catenin-induced lineage conversion without prior ...
