The risk of amputation
in people with diabetes is
HIGHER than normal
Fortunately
of amputation cases are
intervenable because of the
early onset of symptoms
Promoting early diabetic
wound healing is significant
High blood sugar
spells disaster
In our project GluLeaves, engineered Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells would release synthetic proteins in a specially formulated dressing to block the wound healing difficulties associated with high blood sugar while fighting bacterial infection.
Also, when the wound infection worsens, the dressing will turn red to alert the user to seek medical attention.
