Varanasi, Oct. 27 -- Achieving a landmark breakthrough in the field of biomedical science, researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) have developed a novel "engineered cell therapy" capable of rapidly healing diabetic wounds.
This discovery is a significant step toward addressing a global health challenge affecting millions of people worldwide. Wounds in people with diabetes typically experience difficulty in healing due to prolonged high glucose levels.
