Between authors, reviewers, editors, & readers, RESEARCHERS are central to everything we do! Thank you to all researchers who engaged with us in 2025.
We look forward to continuing our focus on researchers &their contributions in 2026. Happy New Year from Biointerphases! 🎆
Happy to share our latest publication from the @iiscbangalore@RamrayB, now available online and featured on the cover of @biointerphases. This cool and highly interesting paper focuses on the proteoglycan Decorin and its role in ovarian cancer progression.
Ti-NW-Mg modified titanium implants were synthesized & shown to improve bone formation — reducing macrophage growth & inflammation while regulating macrophage polarization. The results suggest a promising implant material for enhancing osteogenesis.
