ICMR Grants Rs 1.1 Crore for Diabetic Wound Research
Scientists at Dnyaan Prasad Global University in Pune have received a big grant of ₹1.1 crore from ICMR to study how to heal diabetic wounds faster.
They are using chicken waste to make special materials that can help wounds heal quicker.
Diabetic wounds are hard to heal because high blood sugar can damage nerves and reduce blood flow.
The team is using special technology to create a new material that can help skin cells grow and heal wounds better.
This research is important because it can help many people with diabetes and also help the environment by recycling waste.
Dnyaan Prasad Global University receives ₹1.1 crore ICMR grant for diabetic wound care research.
Research focuses on developing a collagen-elastin scaffold with chicken-derived skin oil to accelerate healing.
The project aims to enhance tissue regeneration using electrospinning technology and advanced cell culture methods.
Diabetic wounds heal slowly due to high blood sugar levels impairing the immune system and causing poor blood flow.
The grant will boost biomedical research in Maharashtra and support sustainable development goals by recycling poultry waste.
