Abstract

Foodborne biomaterials, derived from diets, comprise selfassembled collections of many micro- or nanoscale units with abundant nutrients and active substances. In this study, soybean milk (SBM) was selected as a tissue engineering product for simple and feasible wound repair. SBM is a common drink prepared from soybeans and is rich in soy protein, soy isoflavones, and other bioactive components. Thus, SBM has substantial potential for antioxidation and tissue remodeling. Here, the multifunctional effect of SBM as a bioactive coating for promoting wound healing was studied. The results showed that SBM has good biocompatibility and biological activity. It efficiently scavenges intracellular reactive oxygen species, significantly enhances epithelial cell migration, and improves angiogenesis, thereby accelerating tissue remodeling. The results of animal experiments further confirmed that the SBM-bioinspired coating has promising applications for cutaneous wound regeneration.
