Findings
In wound healing tests, allantoin-infused scaffolds (made from silk fibroin and sodium alginate) closed wounds significantly faster than scaffolds without allantoin or no treatment at all. The material also promoted collagen production, new skin cell growth, and blood vessel formation at the wound site—basically hitting multiple healing markers at once.
