Scientists create biodegradable material to improve wound healing, skin regeneration

Chinese researchers have developed a band-aid-like biodegradable composite material that can promote complete wound healing and the growth of skin-like tissue. The study, jointly conducted by the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and the Wuhan University of Technology, has been published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. The biocomposite material is made from silk fibroin, sodium alginate and other natural polymers. …
