[Abstract]
The World Health Organization estimates that 10% of the world’s population suffers from diabetes, and diabetic patients have a 15-25% lifetime risk of getting diabetic foot ulcers. Every 20s, there is a lower extremity amputation worldwide. In this talk, I will describe three technologies that my lab has developed to accelerate wound healing. First, I will share how magnetic hydrogel that provides mechanical stimulation can promote cell growth for tissue repair. The second and third technologies center around the use of microneedles to deliver therapeutics and extraction of immune cells to treat inflammatory skin disorders.
