IIT-BHU Engineers Cell Therapy to Rapidly Heal Diabetic Wounds
Imagine tiny factories that help heal wounds!
Scientists at IIT-BHU made special cells that can heal wounds faster.
These cells make medicine that helps wounds close up quickly.
The cells are put in tiny capsules that protect them and release the medicine.
This new treatment worked well in mice with diabetes, healing wounds in just a few days.
The treatment is now being tested to see if it can help people with diabetes heal from wounds quickly.
This could make a big difference for people with diabetes.
IIT (BHU) researchers created a new engineered cell therapy.
The therapy is designed to rapidly heal diabetic wounds.
Engineered cells produce VEGFA, Factor VIII, and IL-10.
The therapy was tested and found effective in diabetic mice.
The team is working towards human clinical trials.
