Voiding symptoms aggravate with decreasing stromal/epithelial ratio and increasing glandular-epithelial content in patients undergoing laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia, independently from prostate size. [PDF]
PLoS ONEIntroductionBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) includes epithelial, stromal and mixed hyperplasia, but their specific contributions to voiding symptoms and prostate volume (PV) are unknown.

Keratin 19: a key role player in the invasion of human hepatocellular carcinomas [PDF]
Gut, 2013 Objective Keratin (K)19, a biliary/hepatic progenitor cell (HPC) marker, is expressed in a subset of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) with poor prognosis. The underlying mechanisms driving this phenotype of K19-positive HCC remain elusive. Design

No difference in keratin thickness between inner and outer foreskins from elective male circumcisions in Rakai, Uganda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It has been hypothesized that increased HIV acquisition in uncircumcised men may relate to a more thinly keratinized inner foreskin. However, published data are contradictory and potentially confounded by medical indications for circumcision.

Keratin 19 Epithelial Patterns in Cirrhotic Stroma Parallel Hepatocarcinogenesis [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2011 Cirrhotic septa harbor vessels and inflammatory, fibrogenic, and ductular epithelial cells, collectively referred to as the ductular reaction (DR). Lack of the DR in the stromal compartment around hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been documented; however, the relationship of epithelial keratin 19 (K19) structures to progression of intralesional ...

An Integrative Bioinformatic Analysis for Keratinase Detection in Marine-Derived Streptomyces
Marine Drugs, 2021 Keratinases present promising biotechnological applications, due to their ability to degrade keratin. Streptomyces appears as one of the main sources of these enzymes, but complete genome sequences of keratinolytic bacteria are still limited.

Keratin 13 is a more specific marker of conjunctival epithelium than keratin 19.
Molecular vision, 2011 To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium.Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea.
