Brief Project Summary:

This research help patients, care providers and soybean farmers. This skin substitute, OmegaSkin™, is made of soy protein isolate and generates a high-tech biomedical platform resulting in an affordable, off-the-shelf, bioactive scaffold for wound and burn healing. Studies indicate that electroprocessed soy-based wound matrices degrade gradually and integrate into the host's dermis leading to neovascularization, deposition of new collagen and enhanced epithelization, superior closure and healing of full thickness wounds quickly with minimal to no scarring, with the added benefit of regenerating intact hair follicles and sweat glands.

Key Benefactors:
health care industry, burn victims, farmers
