Nagaland University's Breakthrough: Sinapic Acid as a Revolution in Diabetic Wound Healing

Researchers at Nagaland University have unveiled Sinapic acid, a natural compound, as a groundbreaking agent for accelerating diabetic wound healing. This study, the first of its kind globally, shows promise for safe and effective diabetic wound treatments, spotlighting nature-based innovation for critical health challenges.

A groundbreaking discovery by Nagaland University researchers has identified Sinapic acid, a naturally occurring plant compound, as a potent therapeutic agent for speeding up wound healing under diabetic conditions. This advancement opens doors to developing safe, natural, and highly effective treatments for diabetic wound management.

The study, the first globally to reveal Sinapic acid's efficacy when administered orally, demonstrated significant acceleration in diabetic wound healing in preclinical models. Researchers found that the compound activates the SIRT1 pathway, crucial for tissue repair, angiogenesis, and inflammation control. This multidisciplinary research involved collaboration with experts from Lovely Professional University, Punjab, combining skills in biotechnology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and medical laboratory sciences.

Led by Prof. Pranav Kumar Prabhakar, the Nagaland University team included experts from Lovely Professional University and resulted in findings published in Nature Scientific Reports, adding international credibility. The study highlights the commitment to addressing global health challenges, with the potential to treat diabetic wounds naturally and effectively.
