IIT Guwahati’s Hydrogel Innovation for Breast Cancer Therapy
IIT Guwahati’s Hydrogel Innovation for Breast Cancer Therapy Content Researchers from IIT Guwahati have developed a protein-based injectable hydrogel for targeted breast cancer treatment. Key features: Peptide-Based : Made from ultra-short, protein-derived peptides. Biocompatibility : Safe for use in the body and biodegradable. Stability : Remains insoluble and stable at injection sites in body fluids. Tissue-Mimicking : Its 3D polymer structure mimics living tissues, enhancing biomedical suitability. Water Retention: Absorbs and retains fluids, crucial for drug delivery applications. This innovative hydrogel offers significant potential for localized breast cancer therapies, promising better precision and fewer side effects.
