National University of Singapore (NUS)

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has engineered an innovative magnetic wound-healing gel that promises to heal diabetic wounds three times faster, reduce the rates of recurrence, and in turn, lower the incidents of limb amputations. The innovative magnetic hydrogel, which contains skin cells for healing as well as magnetic particles, takes a comprehensive ‘all-in-one’ approach to wound healing, accelerating the process on several fronts. To maximise therapeutic results, a wireless external magnetic device is used to activate skin cells and accelerate the wound healing process. A patent has been filed for this innovation.
