Diabetic wounds often lead to severe complications that can result in amputations.
These chronic and non-healing wounds are marked by persistent inflammation, affecting more than six per cent of the global population.
But researchers have developed two micro-needle technologies that have shown efficacy in accelerating diabetic wound healing, removing undesirable inflammatory compounds.
And the micro-needles dissolve into the wound
Diabetic wounds don't heal because the critical proteins that aid recovery, known as growth factors, are broken down by enzymes called proteases.
The two novel innovations for treating this were developed by a team of scientists at then National University of Singapore.
They were led by Assistant Professor Andy Tay from the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
Jorge injects himself with insulin during a Sunday lunch at his family’s home in Puebla, Mexico on April 23, 2017. Jorge Antonio Moreno Gaytán, a 34-year-old Mexican man, lives with his parents in Puebla, Mexico. He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age seven. He weighs 136 kilos (300 pounds) and stands 152 centimeters (4 feet 12 inches). Jorge is in the process of getting bariatric surgery. As a teenager, he would pawn his siblings’ belongings in order to have money to buy food. He was also known to leave restaurants without paying. “Our worst enemy is hunger, it’s what will kill us”, Jorge says. He is now part of a sports team for people with disabilities. He has been in a relationship for 11 years with, Maria Guadalupe Pilar Saucedo Granda, known as “Lupita’, also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In newborns symptoms include weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development. In childhood the person experiences a sensation of constant hunger no matter how much he/she eats which often leads to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. There may also be mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems. Physical characteristics include a narrow forehead, small hands and feet, short in stature, and light skin color. Prader-Willi syndrome has no known cure. However, with early diagnosis and treatment such as growth hormone therapy, the condition may improve. Strict food supervision is typically required. PWS affects an estimated 1 in 10,000 to 30,000 people worldwide. (Photo by Bénédicte Desrus/Sipa USA) *** Local Caption *** 21272629

Labrador trained to detect diabetic attacks, Kent, Britain - 08 Sep 2008
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ida Know / Rex Features ( 802966c )
Noah Beeby-Brown and his dog Bianca
Labrador Trained To Detect Diabetic Attacks
LABRADOR TRAINED TO DETECT DIABETIC ATTACKS
Young Noah Beeby Brown may be unfortunate enough to suffer from Type 1 diabetes, but he is lucky to have a guardian angel by his side at all times, albeit an angel with black fur, a wagging tail and a wet nose.
Bianca, a black Labrador-retriever cross, has been trained to detect whenever Noah, 4, has a hypoglycaemic attack, or hypo, and alert his parents so he can be given a life-saving gel to raise his dangerously low blood sugar levels.
Indeed, eight weeks ago this was exactly what happened when the young dog bounded into Noah's parents room in the middle of the night, whining and nuzzling at the couple, until they entered their son's room to find him suffering from a hypo, which they immediately remedied.
Due to the errant nature of Noah's diabetes and the unpredictable behaviour of his insulin levels, his parents used to have to test their son's blood four times a night and constantly during the day, to avoid the possibility of their son falling into a coma and risking death.
However, Noah's mother Sam discovered in Australia that dogs were being trained to detect illnesses in humans. She got into contact with Claire Guest, a dog psychologist, who trained Bianca to detect the attacks by using pieces of cloth touched by Noah during his hypos, then trained her to alert the boy's parents.
Experts are still baffled as to how Bianca manages to detect the attacks. While hyperglycaemic attacks (excessively high blood sugar levels) emit a smell of pear drops, hypoglycaemic attacks (low blood sugar levels) do not appear to produce any specific smell.
Bianca, donated to the family by the Irish Guide Dogs, has only been trained for the last two months, so is not yet perfect in her detection...
