660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Effect of human hair keratin on the function of rat liver,renal,heart and hematology profile
Hair keratin doesn't significantly affect rat organ function but may help detect early rejection through blood changes.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.

Nail-matrical fibroblasts can make non-nail cells produce hard keratin, useful for nail repair.
research Extraction and Formulation of hydrolyzed-wool keratin solution for hair growth
Sheep wool keratin solution safely and effectively promotes hair growth.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research In vivo alteration of the keratin 17 gene in hair follicles by oligonucleotide‐directed gene targeting
Altering the keratin 17 gene in mice hair follicles caused temporary hair issues, but changes were minimal and short-lived.
research Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments' elasticity is influenced by their terminal domains and surrounding medium.
