Described herein are methods to produce keratin protein-based biomaterials, the parameters required to achieve improved extraction, the parameters required to improve isolation, the parameters of lyophilization and the grinding process to achieve consistent particulate sizes of protein materials.

Methods for extracting keratin proteins

The invention provides white keratin protein compositions and methods of making and using white keratin protein compositions.

White keratin compositions

Described herein are low protein concentration gelling compositions comprising keratin proteins.

Low protein percentage gelling compositions

Described herein are compositions of keratin-based biomaterials together with halofuginone and methods of using thereof.

Keratin compositions comprising halofuginone

Provided herein are keratin compositions useful for treating ischemia and/or reperfusion injury, such as that associated with myocardial infarct, ischemic stroke, brain trauma such as traumatic brain injury, hypothermia, chronic wounds, and burns.
