Abstract:
As many naturally-derived proteins,keratins have intrinsic biological activity,good biocompatibility and are biodegradable.Human hair keratins,as one type of the autogenous proteins,also have low immune rejection.Compared to other autogenous materials,human hair keratins come from a variety of sources and show attraction in field of regenerative medicine.The human hair keratins applied in neural implant materials,wound dressing,cell culture substrates,drug delivery system and soft tissue reconstructions,which are based on hydrogels,scaffolds coating,films and composite materials present huge development potential in regenerative medicine.
