Researchers at BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology have developed multifunctional strontium-doped nanoparticles that can simultaneously promote new bone growth, build blood vessels, and fight dangerous infections.

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), the Tata Memorial Centre and the Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer, Navi Mumbai, use such metallic implants coated with nanofibres that enhances the formation and growth of new bone tissue on the surface compared to implants without the coating.
