"The relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39502314/ #Mechanical #Keratin
PubMedThe relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis - PubMedAs a structural protein, keratin is mainly expressed in epithelial cells and skin appendages to provide mechanical support and external resistance. The keratin family has a total of 54 members, which are divided into type I and type II. Two types of keratins connect to each other to form keratin int …
Few fragments of reality are more effective to the body-i-become than nails. So much of m(y) fragmentarity is located between their keratin proteins. The changes they engender, the movements and sensations they make possible do not represent m(e). Rather, in their travels to the ever-changing outside, they express m(e).

"Repeated stress to the skin amplifies neutrophil infiltration in a keratin 17- and PKCalpha-dependent manner"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39159283/ #Dynamics #Keratin
PubMedRepeated stress to the skin amplifies neutrophil infiltration in a keratin 17- and PKCα-dependent manner - PubMedNeutrophils are the first immune cells to reach inflamed sites and contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Yet, little is known about the pattern of neutrophil infiltration in inflamed skin in vivo and the mechanisms mediating their recruitment. Here, we provide insight …
"Synergistic potential of gellan gum methacrylate and keratin hydrogel for visceral hemostasis and skin tissue regeneration"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39070099/ #Mechanical #Keratin #Cell
PubMedSynergistic potential of gellan gum methacrylate and keratin hydrogel for visceral hemostasis and skin tissue regeneration - PubMedIn recent years, the development of biodegradable hydrogels as an alternative over the traditional wound dressing has become increasingly significant. These specific hydrogels are able to offer suitable microenvironments to further aid the process of tissue or organ regeneration. However, applicatio …
"Tandem LIM domain-containing proteins, LIMK1 and LMO1, directly bind to force-bearing keratin intermediate filaments"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39003737/ #Cytoskeleton #Keratin #Forces #Force
PubMedTandem LIM domain-containing proteins, LIMK1 and LMO1, directly bind to force-bearing keratin intermediate filaments - PubMedThe cytoskeleton of the cell is constantly exposed to physical forces that regulate cellular functions. Selected members of the LIM (Lin-11, Isl-1, and Mec-3) domain-containing protein family accumulate along force-bearing actin fibers, with evidence supporting that the LIM domain is solely responsi …

"Unraveling the Keratin Expression in Oral Leukoplakia: A Scoping Review"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38891785/ #CellMigration #Cytoskeleton #Keratin
PubMedUnraveling the Keratin Expression in Oral Leukoplakia: A Scoping Review - PubMedIntermediate filaments are one of three polymeric structures that form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. In the epithelium, these filaments are made up of a variety of keratin proteins. Intermediate filaments complete a wide range of functions in keratinocytes, including maintaining cell structu …
"Keratin 5 Basal Cells are Temporally Regulated Developmental and Tissue Repair Progenitors in Bladder Urothelium"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38634130/ #Mechanical #Keratin
PubMedKeratin 5 Basal Cells are Temporally Regulated Developmental and Tissue Repair Progenitors in Bladder Urothelium - PubMedUrothelium forms a distensible yet impermeable barrier, senses and transduces stimuli, and defends the urinary tract from mechanical, chemical and bacterial injuries. Biochemical and genetic labeling studies support the existence of one or more progenitor populations with the capacity to rapidly reg …
"Keratin-based bioplastics extracted from chicken feathers: Effect of chitosan concentration on the structural, chemical bonding, and mechanical properties of bioplastics"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38462103/ #Mechanical #Keratin
PubMedKeratin-based bioplastics extracted from chicken feathers: Effect of chitosan concentration on the structural, chemical bonding, and mechanical properties of bioplastics - PubMedKeratin was synthesized by alkaline hydrolysis from chicken feathers and then continue by casting method for producing bioplastics with additional various amounts of chitosan as a filler, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glycerol as a plasticizer. The main purpose is analysis the effect of chitosan on th …
