Collagen/kerateine multi-protein hydrogels as a thermally stable extracellular matrix for 3D in vitro models

Objective: To determine whether the addition of kerateine (reduced keratin) in rat tail collagen type I hydrogels increases thermal stability and changes material properties and supports cell growth for use in cellular hyperthermia studies for tumor treatment. Methods: Collagen type I extracted from...
