May 2013 in “Biomaterials” In this study, the researchers found that a keratin hydrogel filler in nerve conduits led to earlier Schwann cell migration and improved cellular behaviors compared to other fillers in a rat sciatic nerve model.
This study examined the use of keratin gel as a filler in nerve guides for peripheral nerve regeneration in a rat sciatic nerve injury model.
April 2017 in “The Journal of urology/The journal of urology” This study observed that both dutasteride and finasteride affected penile morphology in normotensive and hypertensive rats, with more pronounced changes in hypertensive animals, especially when treated with dutasteride.
November 2007 in “Science” This study found that keratin-based hydrogels derived from human hair improved nerve regeneration in a mouse model by enhancing Schwann cell activity and outperforming autografts.
December 2023 in “Frontiers in pharmacology” In this study, intrathecal progesterone administration initially worsened mechanical allodynia in mice after nerve injury, but later reduced pain when applied during the maintenance phase, highlighting distinct roles for cytochrome P450c17 and 5α-reductase in neuropathic pain modulation.
