This idea, inspired not by high-tech machinery but by nature’s own toolkit, has been documented in a recent research paper published in the ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering journal. Researchers at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR in collaboration with researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai, have presented a new hydrogel dressing infused with rose-derived extracellular vesicles (REVs) and carbon dots (CDs) to treat diabetic wounds .
