Researchers have shown how subtle nanoscale changes to the spacing between cancer cells can enhance ultrasound treatments' effectiveness in killing those cells.

Since early January 2025, more than 207 cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) have been reported from Pune, many of them from within a 5 km radius of Sinhagad Road. On the 12th of February, Mumbai recorded its first death from GBS. At the same time, Bengaluru traffic police put out a cautionary video on precautions to take to prevent the spread of the disease.  The outbreak in Pune has been linked to a pathogen known as Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of foodborne infections and the leading contributor to GBS cases worldwide.

Researchers from IISc have studied the behavioural and physiological changes in the brains of persons showing early signs of dementia to understand and aid early diagnosis.

A new study analyses some of the most widely used databases and applications or algorithms available for protein mutations and predicting disease-causing mutations among them.

A recent study by UPES, Uttarakhand, and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur explores the potential of using computer vision for gait analysis as an early detection tool for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

A study reviewed the available literature on zoonotic pathogens in the food chain to assess their threat and recommend steps to mitigate them.

Quantum dots made of Zinc Oxide were capped with polymers to change their optical properties, and they were then used to detect antibiotics.

GenomeIndia is an ambitious national initiative launched in January 2020, funded by India's Department of Biotechnology. The project aims to sequence 10,000 genomes from healthy individuals across the country. GenomeIndia's main objective is to compile a comprehensive catalogue of the genetic variations unique to India's diverse population. This initiative goes beyond merely decoding genes; it seeks to create a detailed reference of the genetic makeup to enhance our understanding of this diversity.

Researchers at IIT Bombay develop a shockwave-based needle-free syringe that ensures painless and safe drug delivery with lesser damage to skin and lower risk of infection
