Bioprospecting keratinous materials
International Journal of Trichology, 2010 The concept of bioprospecting for bioactive peptides from keratin-containing materials such as wool, hair, skin and feathers presents an exciting opportunity for discovery of novel functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals, while value-adding to cheap and plentiful natural sources. The published literature reports multiple examples of proline-rich

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Implications From the Analogous Relationship Between Evolutionary and Learning Processes
BioEssays, EarlyView.Organismal evolution resembles learning processes in many aspects, but the analogy has not been widely recognized. We discuss new opportunities inspired by this analogy to enhance predictive capabilities and theoretical developments in both research fields, especially using white‐box modeling for expanding predictive theory in evolutionary biology ...

An ex vivo comparison of the tensile strengthening properties of protein derivatives on damaged hair [PDF]
, 2015 Conventional conditioning agents, cationic surfactants and polymers, are often limited in their ability to repair and strengthen the hair fibre, while protein-derived actives have been found to enhance the tensile strength of damaged hair.

Targeting MAN1B1 potently enhances bladder cancer antitumor immunity via deglycosylation of CD47
Cancer Communications, EarlyView.Abstract Background Only a few bladder cancer patients benefit from anti‐programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 immunotherapy. The cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) plays an important role in tumor immune evasion. CD47 is a highly glycosylated protein, however, the mechanisms governing CD47 glycosylation and its potential ...
