Mechanistic Investigation of A Hemostatic Keratin Biomaterial
… and complicated by uncontrolled bleeding. Human hair keratin biomaterials have demonstrated efficacy in controlling hemorrhage in both small and large animal models; however little is known about the mechanism by which these proteins aid in blood clotting. Inspection of the amino acid sequence of …

Investigation of Keratin and Keratin-Containing Composite Biomaterials: Applications in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
Keratins are a family of structural proteins that can be extracted from a variety of sources including wool, nails, skin, hooves, and hair. Keratin can be processed into different constructs such as coatings, scaffolds, and hydrogels, and has shown favorable results when placed in in vitro and in …

Investigation of the relative conformational stability of protein mutants by molecular dynamics simulation
… stability of segments of the human hair monomeric IF unit as well as on their lowest aggregation level, namely the coiled coil structure. Mutations in the helix termination motif of human hair keratin gene hHb6 seem to be connected to the hereditary hair dystrophy Monilethrix. The …

Protein Engineering for Biomedicine and Beyond
… production. Biomaterials made from natural human hair keratin have mechanical and biochemical properties that make them ideal scaffolds for tissue engineering and wound healing. However, the extraction process leads to protein degradation and brings with it byproducts from hair, which can cause …

Heat induced denaturation of fibrous hard alpha-keratins and their reaction with various chemical reagents
… representatives of this class being the alpha-keratins in human hair. In spite of a lot of work in the field, there is still no mechanism proposed for accounting on how thermal denaturation process occurs in hard alpha-keratins. This work aims at proposing a model for the alpha-keratin fibres …

An isotopic and historical study of diet and migration during the great Irish Potato famine (1845-1852). High-resolution carbon and nitrogen isotope profiling of teeth to investigate migration and short-term dietary change at the Union workhouse, Kilkenny and Lukin street, London.
Historical evidence from contemporary documents established that Irish migrants to London during the Great Irish Famine (1845-1852) were likely to come from low socio-economic groups in south-west Ireland, and has characterised mid-19th-century health status and living conditions in both locations. …
