Development of high-performance two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for human hair shaft proteome.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The primary components of human hair shaft-keratin and keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), together with their cross-linked networks-are the underlying reason for its rigid structure.

Linkage Relationships between Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Growth Hormone in Sheep

Genomics, 1994
The ovine hair keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes are grouped into several families. In this study, we analyzed linkage relationships between members of four KRTAP families and growth hormone and beta-hemoglobin. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms and a microsatellite polymorphism were typed in 10 sire groups from a flock of Australian ...

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.

Nail Properties and Bone Health: A Review

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2018
Physicochemical properties of nail may offer valuable insight into the health of bone. Currently, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard technique for evaluating bone health through bone mineral density (BMD).

Contrasting patterns of coding and flanking region evolution in mammalian keratin associated protein-1 genes [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
AbstractDNA repeats are common elements in eukaryotic genomes, and their multi-copy nature provides the opportunity for genetic exchange. This exchange can produce altered evolutionary patterns, including concerted evolution where within genome repeat copies are more similar to each other than to orthologous repeats in related species.

Hydrogel‐Based Airway‐on‐Tube With Perfusable Endothelial Lumen and Outward Epithelialization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel‐based airway‐on‐tube platform featuring a perfusable endothelial lumen and outward epithelialization is presented. The system supports primary human bronchial epithelial and lung microvascular endothelial coculture under air‐liquid interface conditions.

Identification of a keratin-associated protein with a putative role in vesicle transport

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2007
Protection of skin against UV light requires a coordinated interaction between melanocytes and keratinocytes. Melanosomes are lysosome-related organelles that originate in melanocytes and are transferred into keratinocytes where they form a supranuclear cap.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Role of the keratin 1 and keratin 10 tails in the pathogenesis of ichthyosis hystrix of Curth Macklin.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Ichthyosis Hystrix of Curth-Macklin (IH-CM) is a rare manifestation of epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) that is characterised by generalised spiky or verrucous hyperkeratosis. The disorder is further distinguished by the presence of binucleated cells in the

β‐Adrenergic Signaling Promotes Anti‐Tumor Immunity in TP53‐mutant Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
β‐adrenergic stimulation enhances anti‐tumor immunity in TP53‐deficient oral squamous cell carcinoma by inducing tumor‐derived secretion of CXCL10, which attracts and activates cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. The findings demonstrate that β‐adrenergic signaling alters tumor–immune interactions via CXCL10‐mediated paracrine activation, revealing a neuro‐immune ...
