This AI-based model can be used to detect the severity level of the disease and assist medical practitioners remotely for a more accurate diagnosis. Knee osteoarthritis has a prevalence of 28 per cent in the country and there is no possible cure for the condition except total joint replacement at an advanced stage hence an early diagnosis is essential for pain management and behavioral corrections.
The study has been published in the American Chemical Society journal 'Langmuir'. The paper has been co-authored by Prof. Bharat Venkata Tadikonda, Prof. Sachin Kumar and their research scholars, Himanshu Yadav and Shubham Gaurav.
Proteins produced from another source when applied can convert cells from one form to another in a process known as cellular reprogramming. This process involves the use of specific proteins, known as transcription factors, which can alter the expression of genes within a cell and direct it to take on a new cellular identity.

IIT Guwahati has formulated a structured strategy to check suicides on the campus by tracking the mental health of students with low Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) and backloggers. The premier institution enrolled over 1,000 fresh undergraduate students in October.
The results of this research have recently been published in the open-source journal, PLoS One, in a paper co-authored by Dr. Souptick Chanda and his research scholar, Mr. Pratik Nag.
IIT Guwahati is progressively participating in multiple initiatives to contribute in improving the health sector in the Northeast region.
The molecules developed by the IIT-G researchers self-assemble as capsules to hold the drug, which then attaches only to cancer cells. When infrared light is shone on it, the shell breaks and releases the encapsulated drug into the cancerous cell. The IIT-G scientists rightly believe that their approach would allow the development of drug carriers for chemotherapy with enhanced efficacy and negligible side effects.
Xylitol is industrially produced by a chemical reaction in which wood-derived D-xylose, a costly chemical, is treated with nickel catalyst at very high temperatures and pressures that makes the process highly energy consuming.
This multidisciplinary initiative is in line with the National Education Policy 2020 of Government of India wherein professors, researchers, entrepreneurs, doctors, and students from multiple departments join hands under a single umbrella to inculcate research and innovation in the domain of healthcare innovation.
