Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) in Singapore developed a “nanogel” that’s excellent at promoting the healing of second and third degree burns in animal studies. The material is made out of peptide hydrogels that works like a scaffold within which cells can grow. When water is added to this scaffold, the peptides naturally group together into fibers, trapping the water inside. This allows the material to be both porous, while retaining moisture that helps promote cellular growth.
