In August 2010 journal, Zhang's group published the article "Nanofibers and nanoparticles from the insect-capturing adhesive of the sundew (Drosera) for cell attachment." The researchers reported that naturally occurring nanofibers and nanoparticles from the secreted adhesive of the sundew show a high compatibility for attaching cells.
Lenaghan also notes that the nanofibers could potentially be used on adhesive bandages to improve wound healing by coating cuts with biological materials that excite cell activity, instead of just covering a wound with cotton.
