UrduPeople with chronic diabetic foot ulcers could soon have a new way to treat their wounds for faster healing and fewer hospital stays. Researchers from Michigan State University and South Shore Hospital have uncovered that the combination of two common diabetes drugs — injectable insulin and orally-administered metformin — increases the amount of metformin at the wound site.

Giant step forward to help treat chronic wounds that affect millions
A team of international scientists has developed a more effective treatment for chronic wounds that does not involve antibiotics or silver-based dressings, but an ionized gas called plasma.
NUS scientists develop innovative magnetic gel that heals diabetic wounds three times faster
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has engineered an innovative magnetic wound-healing gel that promises to heal diabetic wounds three times faster, reduce the rates of recurrence, and in turn, lower the incidents of limb amputations.
The innovative magnetic hydrogel, which contains skin cells for healing as well as magnetic particles, takes a comprehensive ‘all-in-one’ approach to wound healing, accelerating the process on several fronts. To maximise therapeutic results, a wireless external magnetic device is used to activate skin cells and accelerate the wound healing process. A patent has been filed for this innovation.
