March 2009 in “Hirosaki University Repository for Academic Resources (Hirosaki University)” This study in hairless rats suggests that the deletion of specific hair keratin genes contributes to hypotrichosis and highlights the strain's potential as a model for hair follicle research.
This study found that keratin-gelatin composite films effectively promoted early wound healing and full-thickness skin graft acceptance in dogs, outperforming bFGF-gelatin films.
January 2007 in “Universiti Putra Malaysia Institutional Repository (Universiti Putra Malaysia)” This study concluded that keratin-gelatin composite films were more effective than bFGF-gelatin films in promoting early and uncomplicated wound healing in dogs, observing improved epithelialization and graft acceptance.
