Zhejiang Develops Silk Artificial Skin

Researchers in Zhejiang have produced a new type of silk from silk.

According to the Zhejiang daily, this new type of artificial skin looks like a wonton skin. It is strong in hand pulling. It is made from protein extracted from silk. It is silky smooth and smooth.

"As long as the artificial skin is removed from the fridge, it is naturally thawed, sterilized and soaked on the surface of the wound skin, and the wound will heal slowly in about half a month," said Min Sijia, an associate professor of the Zhejiang University.

It is understood that this is the first time that Zhejiang researchers have developed artificial skin with completely independent intellectual property rights.

According to the introduction, at present * China uses pigskin and allogeneic human skin materials to treat skin defects. These artificial skin have a single function and narrow application range.

Although the United States, Japan and other countries have successfully found the use of collagen or chitin and other raw materials to produce artificial skin, but because of the high cost, it is difficult to apply in large scale in China.
