International Journal of Dermatology, 1976 Early studies have already shown that the tonofibrils of malpighian cells consist of a --SH containing fibrous alpha-protein. It was assumed that the highly resistant protective substance, keratin, was formed by the conversion of --SH groups into --S--S--bonds in this protein.

Efficacy Coefficients Determined Using Nail Permeability and Antifungal Activity in Keratin-Containing Media Are Useful for Predicting Clinical Efficacies of Topical Drugs for Onychomycosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Onychomycosis is difficult to treat topically due to the deep location of the infection under the densely keratinized nail plate. In order to obtain an in vitro index that is relevant to the clinical efficacy of topical anti-onychomycosis drugs, we ...

A Ca2+-Mediated Switch of Epiplakin from a Diffuse to Keratin-Bound State Affects Keratin Dynamics
Cells, 2022 Keratins exert important structural but also cytoprotective functions. They have to be adaptable to support cellular homeostasis. Epiplakin (EPPK1) has been shown to decorate keratin filaments in epithelial cells and to play a protective role under ...

Valorization of keratin biofibers for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions [PDF]
, 2018 Four common waste keratin biofibers (human hair, dog hair, chicken feathers, and degreased wool) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Different parameters of the biosorption processes were optimized in

Enhancing Physical Properties of Viscose by Preparing Viscose/Keratin/Nano ZnO Composite Fabric
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 The emulsion of Keratin nano ZnO was prepared by extracting the keratin from wool. Cellulose viscose fabric was treated by plasma and immersed in solution and by special chemical method the fabric was finished with keratin/ZnO.
