IIT Bombay Identifies Biomarkers To Predict Kidney Failure in Diabetics

Research led by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has identified hidden blood biomarkers that can flag early warning signs of diabetic kidney disease. The finding, according to researchers, could help in early diagnosis and pave the way for more personalised treatment. India, often called the diabetes capital of the world, has around 101 million adults currently living with the condition

How cells can sense and respond to invisible mechanical patterns—like built-in tensions around them

Researchers at IIT Bombay uncover how strain fields produced by embedded inhomogeneities within biomaterials influence cell alignment, reshaping our understanding of cell behaviour in development, disease, and tissue engineering. The research led by Professor Abhijit Majumder, was published in Cell Reports Physical Science. The findings not only add to the fundamental understanding of how cells
Capacity fading in lithium ion battery

Capacity fading in lithium ion battery

Formation of the solid electrolyte interface at the graphite electrode results in capacity loss in a lithium ion battery. The makeup of the solid electrolyte interface has been studied in [Vallabha Rao Rikka et al., In situ/exsitu Investigations on the Formation of the MosaicSolid-Electrolyte Interface Layer on Graphite Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part C 122
