Biofibre Production from Chicken Feather [PDF]

, 2011
The global poultry industry generates at least 2 million tonnes of chicken feather every year. Feathers are currently hydrolysed into meal used for animal feed and fertilizer. Feather consists of 91% keratin, 1% lipid and 8% water.

Novel keratin 17 mutations in pachyonychia congenita type 2 [PDF]

, 2001
Pachyonychia congenita type 2 is an inherited ectodermal dysplasia characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy and multiple pilosebaceous cysts. Focal nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma, natal teeth, and pili torti may also be present. Epithelial

Clinical photographic observation of plantar corns and callus associated with a nominal scale classification and inter- observer reliability study in a student population

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2017
Background The management of plantar corns and callus has a low cost-benefit with reduced prioritisation in healthcare. The distinction between types of keratin lesions that forms corns and callus has attracted limited interest. Observation is imperative

Eif3k Regulates Apoptosis in Epithelial Cells by Releasing Caspase 3 from Keratin-Containing Inclusions

, 2009
Keratins 8 and 18 (collectively referred to as K8/K18) are the major components of intermediate filaments of simple epithelial cells. Recent studies have revealed the function of K8/K18 in apoptosis modulation.

A curated catalog of canine and equine keratin genes. [PDF]

, 2017
Keratins represent a large protein family with essential structural and functional roles in epithelial cells of skin, hair follicles, and other organs. During evolution the genes encoding keratins have undergone multiple rounds of duplication and humans ...

Effect of Keratin Waste on Poly(ε-Caprolactone) Films: Structural Characterization, Thermal Properties, and Keratinocytes Viability and Proliferation Studies

Advances in Polymer Technology
Keratin extracted (KE) from chicken feathers was used for the production of composite films comprising poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and keratin (PCL/KE films). The process involved the extraction of keratin from chicken feathers using a 0.1 M NaOH solution,

Genomic organization and molecular phylogenies of the beta (β) keratin multigene family in the chicken (Gallus gallus) and zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata): implications for feather evolution

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background The epidermal appendages of reptiles and birds are constructed of beta (β) keratins. The molecular phylogeny of these keratins is important to understanding the evolutionary origin of these appendages, especially feathers.

The comparative analysis of the methods for keratin extraction from sheep wool and human hair

, 2020
Nowadays, biopolymers such as keratins are widely used in biomedicine due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. At the molecular level, keratins differ from other structural proteins by a high content of disulfide bonds, which ...

Highly Efficient Dissolution of Wool Keratin by Dimethylphosphate Ionic Liquids

, 2015
Ionic liquids (ILs) are eco-friendly solvents and exhibit excellent performance for dissolution and regeneration of wool keratin. In this work, a series of ILs are designed and synthesized to investigate effects of IL structures on dissolving wool ...
