Help for diabetic wounds with dissolveable micro-needles that clean and deliver drugs

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.

"Flowering" viruses to tackle harmful bacteria
Ferrari Press Agency
Virus 1
Ref 16248
22/10/2024
See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: McMaster University
Clusters of special viruses that eat harmful bacteria have been discovered that bloom into flower-like shapes.
And it is believed these new forms can boost their properties, both for finding and killing targeted bacteria and serving as scaffolding for other beneficial microorganisms and materials.
The viruses are called bacteriophages but are referred to by scientists as “phages” for short.
They are re-emerging as treatments for many forms of infection, because they can be programmed to target specific bacteria while leaving others alone.
Work in the field had dropped off after the introduction of penicillin in the middle of the last century.
But as antimicrobial resistance continues to erode the effectiveness of existing antibiotics, engineers and scientists are returning their attention to phages.
A group of researchers at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, discovered the flowering surprise while preparing slides to view under a powerful microscope.
They were surprised to see the phages had joined together into three-dimensional shapes that look like sunflowers, but only two-tenths of a millimetre across.
By joining together in this way made the phages 100 times more efficient than unlinked phages at finding elusive bacterial targets.
