Figures & data
Figure 1. The protein expression levels of RPS6, akt, p-akt, and mTOR were examined by Western blot analysis. The protein expression levels are displayed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). The data were only tested by the t-test for dependent samples (p-value <.05 was considered significant, mean ± SEM).

Figure 2. The effect of fur keratin-derived powder containing biphalin on skin wound healing. Because of the decreasing number of surviving mice, the data (mean ± SEM) were only tested by the t-test for dependent samples (for each post-wounding day separately), with no prior two-way analysis of variance. * - p < .05, ** p < .01.

Original magnification: 100 × .Legend: - epidermis; - hair follicle; - empty zones; - blood extravasation, (color online, black and white in print). b) microscopic view of the control and FKDP + 0.1%Biph-treated wounds during the healing process.
