Students of Yogyakarta State University (UNY) have once again demonstrated their innovative capacity through the Student Creativity Program in Exact Research (PKM-RE). A student research team successfully developed a topical powder formulation based on Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) containing asiaticoside derived from Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) as a potential treatment for diabetic ulcers (DU). Diabetic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, often associated with a high risk of infection, amputation, and even mortality.
