Carbamoylated Nail Proteins as Assessed by Near-Infrared Analysis Are Associated with Load of Uremic Toxins and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Carbamoylation is an important risk factor for accelerated atherogenesis and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). We intended to explore whether carbamoylation as assessed by near-infrared (NIR) analysis of nail proteins is associated with

Keratins in Invertebrates [PDF]
Nature, 1950 IF the term ‘keratin’ were applied only to those proteins which contain a high proportion of cystine, which give a keratin-type of X-ray diffraction photograph and which dissolve with ease only in alkaline solutions of reducing agents, then keratins, so far as is known, are confined to the epidermis and epidermal appendages of vertebrates, and are ...

THE STRUCTURE OF ALPHA KERATIN [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1957 Known structural principles (close packing, maximum hydrogen bonding, the tendency of like groups to be surrounded in like manner, and the approximate constancy of interatomic distances and bond angles) are used, with meridional and equatorial x-ray data, to deduce and check the structure pattern for alpha-keratin.

Journal of Investigative 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.

The comparative analysis of the methods for keratin extraction from sheep wool and human hair
Біологія тварин, 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 ...

Hepatocyte Thorns, A Novel Drug-Induced Stress Response in Human and Mouse Liver Spheroids
Cells, 2022 The in vivo-relevant phenotype of 3D liver spheroids allows for long-term studies of, e.g., novel mechanisms of chronic drug-induced liver toxicity.

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2021 The urothelium, an epithelium of the urinary bladder, primarily functions as blood-urine permeability barrier. The urothelium has a very slow turn-over under normal conditions but is capable of extremely fast response to injury.

Keratin Dynamics: Modeling the Interplay between Turnover and Transport [PDF]
, 2015 Keratin are among the most abundant proteins in epithelial cells. Functions of the keratin network in cells are shaped by their dynamical organization. Using a collection of experimentally-driven mathematical models, different hypotheses for the turnover
