A study by Prof. Santosh Misra's team, spearheaded by Niranjan Chatterjee, displays the fabrication and use of advanced biomaterial systems as a non-drug therapeutic alternative for healing mechanically damaged muscles. The study shows how the passivated nanocarbon based biomaterial assists muscle regeneration, and could be of potential use in addressing other muscle disorders including muscular dystrophy.
