Effect of Extraction Method on the Structure and Performance of Keratin Hydrogel

Pige Kexue Yu Gongcheng
Keratin-based hydrogels have been used more and more in the fields of biomedical materials and cosmetics. However, there are obvious differences in the molecular weight and its distribution as well as the content of active sulfhydryl groups of keratin ...

Multiprotein collagen/keratin hydrogel promoted myogenesis and angiogenesis of injured skeletal muscles in a mouse model

BMC Biotechnology
Volumetric loss is one of the challenging issues in muscle tissue structure that causes functio laesa. Tissue engineering of muscle tissue using suitable hydrogels is an alternative to restoring the physiological properties of the injured area.

Autoinflammatory keratinization diseases [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017
Inflammation caused by the hyperactivation of innate immunity due to genetic factors occasionally leads to inflammatory cutaneous keratinization diseases. Such inflammatory keratinization diseases with genetic autoinflammatory mechanisms are called “autoinflammatory keratinization diseases” (AiKDs). We proposed a four-part definition of AiKDs.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Deacetylation via SIRT2 prevents keratin-mutation-associated injury and keratin aggregation

JCI Insight, 2023
Keratin (K) and other intermediate filament (IF) protein mutations at conserved arginines disrupt keratin filaments into aggregates and cause human epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS; K14-R125C) or predispose to mouse liver injury (K18-R90C).

Optimizing the Extraction of Keratin from Cattle Hoof Using Central Composite Design

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
Cattle hoofs are abundantly available by-product sources of organic material from the slaughterhouse. It can be successfully converted into keratin protein. Keratin extracted using alkali hydrolysis has a better conservancy of keratin structure.
