January 2022 in “Current Research in Biotechnology” This study reports that soy protein isolate/hydroxyethyl cellulose nanofibrous mats embedded with diclofenac sodium and halloysite nanotubes demonstrated sustained drug release, effective antibacterial action against E. coli and B. subtilis, and maintained biocompatibility, highlighting their potential use in wound care.
April 2026 in “Colloids and Surfaces B Biointerfaces” In this study, a nanofiber system made from α-lactalbumin and soy protein isolate via a waterborne electrospinning process significantly improved wound healing in a rat model of third-degree burns, enhancing outcomes such as re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis compared to controls.
