New Hope For Diabetic Ulcers
Fascinating news from Innovations Report:

Every 30 minutes a diabetic patient loses the use of his bottom limb due to the ulceration of tissues that degenerates into a necrosis, which is a typical side effect of this disease. For this reason, finding a proper treatment able to arrest this complication is among the priorities of the scientists who study this pathology.

Paolo Madeddu, scientist of the European Vascular Genomics Network (EVGN, www.evgn.org) from the University of Bristol, in a collaborative effort with colleagues from the Istituto Besta in Milano and EVGN scientists from INSERM U441 in Bordeaux, devised an experimental model based on the administration of Vascular Progenitor Cells (VPC). In the laboratory settings the model proved to be effective on ischemic diabetic ulcers.


It is so encouraging to see these near-daily breakthroughs in diabetes research.
