Keratin-Mediated Selective Inhibition in Proliferation and Selective Apoptosis of Keloid Fibroblasts
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
Keloids are pathological scars characterized by excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, largely mediated by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Current therapeutic approaches often fail due to high recurrence and limited selectivity. Here, we investigate the potential of human hair-derived keratin (HK) as a biomaterial with selective anti-fibrotic activity....
