Faculty members Peter Lelkes, Yahel Harel and Jonathan Gerstenhaber from Temple University’s College of Engineering have been working for over a decade to bring us closer to the future of wound care. The research team has discovered a way to engineer soy proteins into a nanofibrous wound dressing, called Omega Skin, which could change the lives of patients suffering with major ailments such as severe burns, diabetic wounds, bed sores and other large lesions.
Omega Skin interacts with cells in the wounded skin and their extracellular matrix proteins and aids in healing the wound with minimal to no scarring. Wound dressings made of Omega Skin also enhance the regeneration of specific constituents found in the intact skin tissue, such as hair follicles and sweat glands—something not seen in traditional wound care.
