IIT Guwahati researchers have used extremely water-repelling cotton for sustained drug release lasting as long as 110 days. In moderately water-repelling cotton, the drug is released over 50 days. Two…
IIT Guwahati’s scaffold made of silk-bone cement composite doped with silicon and zinc metal ions has been found to extensively regenerate new bone tissue and blood vessels in rabbits in…
Researchers at IIT Guwahati have chemically modified the chitosan to make it selectively remove either oil or water phase from an oil-water mixture. In a first, they made it possible…
Uttam Manna of IIT Guwahati explains how his team synthesised an extremely oil-repelling (super oleophobic) membrane using an aloe vera gel-based coating modified with some molecules to remove oil from…
IIT Guwahati researchers have synthesised an extremely oil-repelling (super oleophobic) membrane using an aloe vera gel-based coating modified with some molecules. This is the first time a naturally occurring material…
Yogendra Pratap Singh from IIT Guwahati explains how the biphasic scaffold fabricated using silk is superior to the existing ones. Since the entire scaffold is made of silk, the junction…
Using silk, researchers from IIT Guwahati have fabricated a biphasic scaffold where one half is spongy and mimics the cartilage while the other half is less porous and mimics the…
IIT Guwahati researchers have developed bioactive wound dressings and bio-artificial skin by using silkworm silk fibroin as matrix and coating it with recombinant spider silk proteins. The recombinant spider silk reduced bacterial…
