Article Synopsis
- Diabetes is a serious chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels, often leading to complications like diabetic wounds that have slow healing processes.
- The study developed hydrogels with different modules to monitor crucial physiological indicators (glucose, pH, temperature) in diabetic wounds more efficiently than traditional methods.
- The hydrogels use innovative materials to allow quick and visible changes in color to indicate levels of these biomarkers, significantly improving the monitoring and treatment of diabetic wounds.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetic wounds are serious issues that involve rapid fluid loss, inflammation, and infections, making current treatments inadequate due to ineffective dressings.
- * Researchers developed a new hydrogel that is wet adhesive, self-healing, and releases drugs in response to glucose levels, aiming to improve diabetic wound care.
- * This hydrogel showed excellent mechanical properties, effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and promoted faster healing in rats by enhancing blood vessel growth and reducing inflammation.
Amitosis, a direct method of cell division is common in ciliated protozoan, fungi and some animal and plant cells. During amitosis, intranuclear microtubules are reorganized into specified arrays which assist in separation of nucleus, despite lack of a bipolar spindle. However, the regulation of amitosis is not understood.
