According to research conducted at Northwestern University, diamonds help heal wounds faster. Amazing right? The phenomenon occurs since nanodiamonds bond effectively with insulin, which is used to treat nasty wounds.The scientist Dean Ho bonded insulin with nanodiamonds to create clusters that release insulin slowly to more targetted areas without being evasive to the patient. The reason nanodiamond-insulin clusters can target infected areas more efficiently than just insulin by itself is because the nanodiamond-insulin cluster needs a base ph level for a reaction, and this base ph level is found only in infected tissue.
