Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a strong, flexible, bio-material that may be used someday to close wounds with minimal scarring and rejection by the immune system. Spun from a common blood protein, the material could be for wound sutures, larger dressings for wounds, and other anti-adhesion membranes used in abdominal surgery.
