research The Localization of Cytokeratin 19 and Vimentin in Sprague Dawley Albino Rat Skin Tissue
CK19 and Vimentin are proteins found in rat skin that help with skin renewal and maintaining cell structure.
research Effect of varied hair protein fractions on the gel properties of keratin/chitosan hydrogels for the use in tissue engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Assessing protein sequencing in human single hair shafts of decreasing lengths
Hair keratin proteins can be reliably identified in hair as short as 0.12 cm, with 0.5 to 2 cm being the best length for analysis.
research Histological evaluation of hair keratin based templates in mice
Keratin sponges are as biocompatible as collagen, but keratin gels are slightly less so.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Human hair keratins promote the regeneration of peripheral nerves in a rat sciatic nerve crush model
Human hair keratin helps repair nerve damage in rats.
