    Glossary Keratin Biomaterials

    substances from hair protein used in medical and cosmetic applications

    Keratin biomaterials are substances derived from keratin, a protein found in hair, nails, and feathers, used in medical and cosmetic applications. They are valued for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to promote cell growth, making them useful in wound healing, tissue engineering, and hair care products.
