Diabetic wound healing function of PCL/cellulose acetate nanofiber engineered with chitosan/cerium oxide nanoparticles.

Researchers developed a wound dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with cerium oxide nanoparticles. The dressing demonstrated strong antibacterial properties, antioxidant activity, improved cell viability and migration, and increased diabetic wound repair by 95.47% after 15 days. This has potential for treating diabetes-related wounds.

Potential of medicinal plants to ameliorate neovascularization activities in diabetes: A systematic review.

This review examines the potential of medicinal plants to reduce complications of diabetes caused by excessive angiogenesis. Identified plants lowered blood glucose levels and increased body weight, while also decreasing VEGF protein expression and vasculature activity. They have the potential to ameliorate neovascularization activities in diabetes.
