  1. "In a new study published today, scientists discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop early stages of decay.

    The King’s College London team of scientists discovered that keratin produces a protective coating that mimics the structure and function of natural enamel when it comes into contact with minerals in saliva."

    "The team also found that the #Hupehsuchus #skulls show the same grooves and notches along the edges of its jaws similar to baleen #whales, which have #keratin strips instead of #teeth."

  4. Diese Struktur aus Proteinfilamenten macht die Zellen stabil, dehnbar und widerstandsfähig gegen äußere Kräfte. Hier spielen sogenannte Intermediärfilamente eine wichtige Rolle. Davon findet man interessanterweise in beweglichen und stationären Zellen zwei verschiedene Typen. Forschenden der Uni #Göttingen und der ETH Zürich ist es gelungen, die beiden #Filamente mechanisch genau zu charakterisieren.
