In a laboratory study of endothelial cells — which line the inside of blood vessels — researchers tested compounds designed to target mitochondria (the “power stations” of cells). In the samples used in … Read more
ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) has offered to transfer the in-house developed li-ion cell technology to competent industries on a ‘non-exclusive’ basis to establish Li-ion cell production facilities in the country. Li-ion cells find wide applications in electronic gadgets, telecommunication, industrial applications as well as in aerospace. This initiative is expected to enable Zero … Read more
