Healing diabetic wounds faster

Having diabetes often means having slow-healing wounds like chronic diabetic foot ulcers.

With more than half a billion people living with diabetes worldwide and that number projected to more than double to 1.3 billion people in the next 30 years, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a magnetic gel that promises to heal diabetic wounds three times faster and lower the rate of amputations.
