Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are multidisciplinary disciplines that use technical biological principles to create workable replacements for human tissues organ function. Keratin, a protein found in materials like wool, feathers, hooves, holds great promise biomedical applications due its unique properties. It is biocompatible, providing suitable matrix cell growth tissue repair. Keratin's cysteine-rich composition facilitates attachment growth, supporting the regeneration of damaged tissue. The method electrospinning flexible effective way producing nanofibers. To generate fibers with high surface area volume ratio, this technique applies an electric field draw charged threads polymer melts or solutions. Further, extraction, purification, characterization keratin proteins from hair wool have yielded significant advances over past century, resulting development keratin-based biomaterials platforms. Researchers successfully fabricated nanofiber scaffolds using techniques, mimicking natural extracellular (ECM) promoting infiltration adhesion. These been investigated different engineering, vitro studies showing successful skin cells on them, making them promising wound healing Keratin biomaterial utilized because biocompatibility, biodegradability, latent activity, cellular binding designs. Understanding scaffolds' biodegradation, stability vivo, mechanism action essential more sophisticated applications, including clinical research. Additional research development, addition advancements related technologies, ought even prospects versatile fascinating biomaterial.
