Historically, the term 'keratin'stood for all of the proteins extracted from skin modifications,
such as horns, claws and hooves. Subsequently, it was realized that this keratin is actually a …

Keratin expression in human tissues and neoplasms Keratin filaments constitute type I and
type II intermediate filaments (IFs), with at least 20 subtypes named keratin 1–20. Since …

In this paper we present keratin expression data that lend strong support to a model of
corneal epithelial maturation in which the stem cells are located in the limbus, the …

The surface of the cornea consists of a unique type of non-keratinized epithelial cells
arranged in an orderly fashion, and this is essential for vision by maintaining transparency …

Epidermal differentiation is characterized by a series of coordinated morphological and
biochemical changes which result in a highly specialized, highly organized, stratified …

In their contribution to the first edition of this Handbook, entitled" The Teeth," LEHNER and
PLENK (1936) discussed the tissues constituting the" perio dontium" rather briefly. In …

substrate for culturing oral epithelial cells and to investigate the possibility of using …

The asymmetric unit membrane (AUM) forms the apical plaques of mammalian urothelium
and is believed to play a role in strengthening the urothelial apical surface thus preventing …

The polypeptide composition of epidermal keratin varies in disease. To better understand
the biological meaning of these variations, we have analyzed keratins from a number of …

In this study, we employed a facile method to synthesize feather keratin derived biosorbents
using water dispersed graphene oxide. The successful cross-linking of feather keratin with …
