Earlier, the bone cells had fewer chances of healing because the blood vessels around the fracture which were meant to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cell, themselves faced a shortage of same. In this new mechanism, the researchers inactivated the oxygen sensor in the bone cells before implantation ensuring better chances of survival. The bone cells showed an increased storage of an emergency fuel inthe form of glycogen, which is a sugar reservoir. Additionally, they also started using an amino acid - glutamine to produce more antioxidants which will nullify the harmful oxygen radicals produced. This ultimately will lead to better bone regeneration.

A manufacturing facility developing World's first non-invasive, saliva-based diabetes monitoring test was set up on 22nd Feb '16 near Hyderabad by DiabetOmics. This innovation would change the approach to monitoring and detection of diabetes globally and also stimulate the development of middle and low-income countries by reducing their economic burden. As compared to blood sugar tests, this innovation would bring in low-cost and affordable tests for monitoring diabetes. The company will also develop point-of-care tests for rapid measuring of Type I diabetes and also to detect diabetic kidney and eye complications at an early stage.
