research Methods of Keratin Extraction from Wool and Hair and Prospects of Their Application in Biomedicine and Bioengineering

1 citations , January 2019 in “Studia Biologica”

The article reviewed methods of keratin extraction from wool and hair, emphasizing the importance of breaking disulfide bonds to convert keratin into a soluble form while preserving its native properties. This process maintained keratin's resistance to chemical and biological factors, high biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity. The extraction methods included oxidation, reduction, and sulfitolysis reactions, with reduction being reversible and sulfitolysis forming S-sulfonate anions. The study highlighted potential applications of extracted keratin in biomedicine for treating hair pathologies, creating keratin-based biomaterials for tissue engineering, and forensic science due to keratin's environmental resistance.

community Does going to the gym really cause hair loss?

in Research/Science 12 upvotes 7 months ago

Exercise temporarily increases DHT levels, but this is unlikely to cause significant hair loss. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments to manage hair loss.

community U/joaopassos444 , HATS OFF brother !!

in Research/Science 126 upvotes 4 years ago

A new hair loss treatment theory beyond minoxidil and finasteride is proposed, causing mixed reactions in the community, with some members eager to explore and support it, while others call for more research and evidence.

community “Progress” pictures. Should I just give up?

in Journals / Progress Pictures 239 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has been using Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair loss but has seen no progress. Suggestions include trying Dutasteride, increasing Minoxidil dosage, or considering a hair transplant.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
