Human hair keratin (HHK) has been successfully explored as raw materials for three-dimensional scaffolds for soft tissue regeneration due to its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. However, none of the reported HHK based scaffolds is able to replicate the strain-stiffening capacity of living...
