Abstract excerpt
The objective of this work was to develop a simple surface modification technique using keratin derived from human hair for efficient cardiomyogenic lineage commitment of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Keratin was extracted from discarded human hair containing both the acidic and basic components along with the heterodimers. The extracted keratin was adsorbed to conventional tissue culture polystyrene...
