IIT Gandhinagar has developed a hydrogel-based drug delivery technology that helps surgeons remove colorectal tumours more safely and precisely by lifting tissue during endoscopic surgery. The innovation has shown success in pre-clinical trials and may advance to human clinical testing
The researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), who engineered the gel, explained that each treatment involves the application of a bandage pre-loaded with a hydrogel containing skin cells for healing and magnetic particles.
Sangareddy: Dr Falguni Pati, Associate Professor, Department of Bio-medical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, and his research team have developed a hydrogel from discarded corneas from human and bovine sources using a novel and simple method. In a serendipitous happening, they discovered the most striking feature of this tissue-specific hydrogel to prevent […]
According to the study, published in the journal ACS Nano, injuries in which a peripheral nerve has been completely severed, such as a deep cut from an accident, are difficult to treat.
