Abstract:
Eggshell (ES) is a waste material that cannot be consumed with low economic value. ES mainly contains calcium
carbonate (CaCO3) and an organic matrix in the form of proteins, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans. Meanwhile,
the eggshell membrane (ESM) contains osteopontin collagen, fibronectin, keratin, histones, avian beta defensins,
ovocalyxin-36, apolipoproteins, protocadherin, chondroitin sulfate, ovotransferrin, hyaluronic acid, and sialic acid
as well as various amino acids. Recently, ES has been widely used in industry, agriculture, food, and medical fields.
The potential of ES in the medical field is interesting to discuss, especially in relation to tissue repair. Efforts to reduce
the prevalence of wounds that generally originate from acute wounds but become chronic due to various factors
that are neglected in their management. In particular, this review will describe the benefits of ES content in repairing
body tissues. ES-derived active ingredients such as CaCO3, brushite, and hydroxyapatite exhibit osteoconductive
properties that promote bone regeneration. Calcium ions can increase insulin and leptin sensitivity in the liver and
can induce repair of acute kidney injury. Meanwhile, ESM contributes positively to neural tissue repair and plays an
important role in wound healing, response to external stimuli, defense response, inflammatory response, cell-substrate adhesion, promoting cell growth, migration, differentiation, and tissue remodeling.
