The New Keratin Nomenclature [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006
When the first nomenclature of the keratin protein family was published over 20 years ago, only 19 keratins were thought to exist. Sequencing of the human genome has now revealed that there are 54 keratin genes. As a consequence, the nomenclature needed revision to apply a logical numbering system that includes the more recently identified keratins of ...

Biodegradable materials based on silk fibroin and keratin [PDF]

, 2008
Wool and silk were dissolved and used for the preparation of blended films. Two systems are proposed: (1) blend films of silk fibroin and keratin aqueous solutions and (2) silk fibroin and keratin dissolved in formic acid.

Selective laser sintering responses of keratin-based bio-polymer composites

Materials & Design, 2019
Keratin-based materials have unique biological and mechanical attributes due to the protein's molecular structure and organisation. The current study evaluates the possible consolidation of keratin powders by selective laser sintering (SLS), a key ...

CD103+ T Cells Eliminate Damaged Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cells Under Oxidative Stress to Prevent Lung Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work unravels a novel function of CD103+ T cells in eradicating oxidative‐stressed somatic cells to prevent lung tumorigenesis and identifies specific CD103+ T cell‐decline as a key feature in the aged lung. This comprehensive study highlights the contribution of immuno‐dysregulation to the high incidence of aging‐associated lung cancers ...

Human hair keratins

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993
Human hair keratins were among the first to be studied but it is only recently that sufficient information has been obtained to gain a basic biologic perspective of these proteins. Hair keratins are members of the intermediate filament family of proteins, yet are sufficiently divergent from epidermal keratins to warrant separate classification: type Ia

Proteomic Analysis of a Noninvasive Human Model of Acute Inflammation and Its Resolution: The Twenty-one Day Gingivitis Model [PDF]

, 2010
The 21-day experimental gingivitis model, an established noninvasive model of inflammation in response to increasing bacterial accumulation in humans, is designed to enable the study of both the induction and resolution of inflammation.

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP1 Maintains Oocyte Asymmetric Division by Modulating Spindle Length

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Different from mitosis, the female meiosis undergoes asymmetric division that produces haploid oocytes and polar body, which is essential for retaining maternal components to support subsequent fertilization and embryo development. However, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown.

Phosphorylation of Epidermal Keratins

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980
When human and rat epidermis are exposed to 32P-orthophosphoric acid, labeled phosphate is incorporated into several proteins. The pattern of phosphorylation is identical whether the isotope is delivered in vivo or in vitro. The predominant phosphorylated proteins are insoluble in Tris-HCl buffer but soluble in SDS-beta-mercaptoethanol. They migrate in

One-Pot Synthesis of Biocompatible Silver Nanoparticle Composites from Cellulose and Keratin: Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity [PDF]

, 2016
A novel, simple method was developed to synthesize biocompatible composites containing 50% cellulose (CEL) and 50% keratin (KER) and silver in the form of either ionic (Ag+) or Ag0 nanoparticles (Ag+NPs or Ag0NPs). In this method, butylmethylimmidazolium
