Indian scientists develop new approach for treatment of liver cirrhosis
New Delhi: A team of Indian scientists has found a new way to treat liver cirrhosis, by targeting the lymphatic vessels in the liver and intestine that fail in case of cirrhosis. Chronic liver disease can progress from mild disease to fibrosis to cirrhosis (also known as scarring). Cirrhosis is accompanied by the distortion of both blood and lymphatic vessels in the liver and the intestine. Patients with advanced cirrhosis often develop complications like fluid accumulation in the abdomen. A team of scientists from the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi, and National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Guwahati, focussed on improving the drainage capacity of lymphatic vessels in the liver and intestine by using nanocarriers filled with a powerful protein called VEGF-C. 'Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is a key pro-lymphangiogenic factor that activates lymphangiogenesis or new lymphatic vessel growth. It does this through binding to a cell membrane tyrosine kinase receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3), the activation of which is essential for the growth and development of new lymphatic vessels,' said the researchers. The team probed the therapeutic efficacy of VEGF-C in ameliorating gut lymphatic dysfunction and improving lymph drainage. Owing to the hydrophilicity, short half-life, and systemic side effects of VEGF-C, the team led by Dr Subham Banerjee from NIPER Guwahati first focused on the development of VEGF-C encapsulated reverse micelle-based nanocarriers, which specifically bind to VEGFR-3 homodimers. Next, the ILBS team, led by Dr Savneet Kaur, tested the developed VEGF-C nanocarriers extensively in animal models of advanced cirrhosis and portal hypertension. The developed molecule was delivered via the oral route to ensure its gut lymphatic vessel uptake in the animal models. The team showed that VEGF-C nanocarriers significantly increased mesenteric lymph drainage, which reduced ascites. Importantly, the treatment also led to an attenuation of the portal pressures, improved cytotoxic T-cell immunity in mesenteric lymph nodes, and reduced local and systemic bacterial load. The research, published in the JHEP Reports journal, is the first to highlight that therapeutic lymphangiogenesis with VEGF-C is a promising treatment for reconstructing the fragmented lymphatic network and restoring lymphatic function and drainage in advanced cirrhosis.

Re-skilling techies, compute capacity & geopolitics in focus for second IndiaAI report
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Jobs displacement due to adoption of artificial intelligence , re-skilling of the tech workforce, raising compute power and addressing geopolitical challenges are some of the issues that are expected to be among the main agendas ahead of the government as it prepares for the second edition of the IndiaAI report , officials report is planned to be readied before the key AI Impact Summit that India will chair in New Delhi in February 2026. Requests for feedback submission will soon go out to all central ministries, autonomous bodies as well as state governments, officials at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in October 2023, the first IndiaAI report had laid out the full fulcrum of India's AI aspirations, with detailed inputs from seven working groups. These had recommended the setting up of 3 AI centres of excellence, development of large, multimodal AI foundation models trained on Indian languages and datasets, and driving cross-sector development in areas like health, agriculture, education and governance through AI."The previous report had laid out the foundational strategy and roadmap for India's national approach to artificial intelligence. The next one is planned to build on it to further fine tune targets to meet the goals under the Viksit Bharat 2047 initiative," an official the approval of the IndiaAI Mission, the government had allocated Rs 10,300 crore over five years beginning March 2024 to strengthen AI capabilities. The upcoming report may call for augmenting that amount considering the central position that AI has acquired in innovation and governance since then, he government wants solutions to emerge for large-scale re-skilling of the technological workforce, much of which in India's IT industry remains anxious of retrenchments due to AI. Similar to last time, senior executives from the private sector and academicians are expected to be part of the working groups that will give recommendations for the computing power would also be a key focus, people in the know said. While the government had initially targeted the development of a high-end common computing facility equipped with 10,000 graphics processing units (GPUs), India has successfully overshot the mark by empanelling 34,333 GPUs through the IndiaAI Compute platform . But the government is wary of export controls on critical hardware being placed by foreign governments, specifically the the previous Joe Biden administration's Artificial Intelligence Diffusion Framework, the US had placed India among Tier-2 countries with a volume cap of 50,000 H100-equivalent GPUs through 2027. Under Donald Trump, US' new AI policy has called for exporting the full US AI technology stack to 'allied nations' willing to join America's AI alliance, but also stresses on denying foreign adversaries access to US compute power citing geostrategic competition and national security. These two categories are not defined, and India would need to quickly find its feet, an official said."This and other geopolitical challenges such as the rapidly evolving AI power dynamics beyond nations have pushed the government to hold the summit in India next year,' this official said. 'It will build on the 2025 AI Action Summit in Paris co-chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It will showcase India's emerging leadership in creating consensus for global AI governance frameworks ."

Earthquakes' secondary waves are the most destructive. India is developing a system to predict them
India is developing an ambitious early-warning system for destructive secondary waves (S-waves) during earthquakes, which could provide critical lead time to save lives and protect infrastructure. The plan is to deploy this advanced detection network, a first for the country, over the next decade, M. Ravichandran, secretary of ministry of earth sciences, told Mint. Although accurately predicting the exact time, location and magnitude of earthquakes remains a scientific challenge, the ministry is investing in infrastructure to improve early-warning systems. 'There is currently no scientific method to predict earthquakes in advance. However, we can monitor seismic activity in real time to quickly determine where and why an earthquake has occurred," said Ravichandran. He explained that when an earthquake strikes, the primary wave (p-wave), hits first, followed by the more destructive S-wave. There is typically a brief time gap between these waves. 'Our objective is to detect the occurrence of the p-wave and use that short window to anticipate the arrival of the damaging S-wave." He said Japan is already capable of predicting S-waves a few seconds before. 'The technology is known science, but there should be infrastructure in place to make the system operational," he added. The ministry is setting up infrastructure for the system. For example, it needs to install accelerometers, which measure ground motion during an earthquake, and GPS devices at many locations. 'If everything is in place, I can say maybe in a decade's time, we can go for an early-earthquake warning," he added. India's earthquake vulnerability India is highly vulnerable to earthquakes due to its unique geological and tectonic setting, particularly its location at the collision boundary of the Indian and Eurasian plates. This constant tectonic activity makes several parts of the country susceptible to moderate to severe earthquakes. The government has identified that 59% of India is vulnerable to earthquakes, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has classified the country into four seismic zones based on earthquake risk. Zone V, including regions like the Himalayas, is the most active, while Zone II is the least affected. Over the years, India has experienced several devastating earthquakes. The 1905 Kangra and 2001 Bhuj earthquakes are among the most catastrophic in India's history. The 8.0-magnitude Kangra earthquake claimed 19,800 lives. The 7.9-level Bhuj earthquake followed, leading to 12,932 deaths and devastating 890 villages. More recently, on 17 February 2025, a 4.0-magnitude earthquake struck Delhi. India recorded 159 earthquakes from November 2024 to February 2025, raising concerns about the country's future preparedness. On 22 July, a magnitude 3.2 tremor with its epicentre in Faridabad, Haryana, was felt in parts of Delhi, but no damage or injuries were reported. 'Early-warning systems (EWS), powered by real-time data, resilient building codes and standards, adaptive engineering principles, and AI (artificial intelligence), play a vital role in safeguarding infrastructure and communities," said Amit Prothi, director general of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI). 'They enhance seismic resilience by better equipping assets to withstand shocks, accelerate recovery, and protect lives and livelihoods." CDRI, a New Delhi-based multilateral organization, was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the 2019 United Nations (UN) Climate Action Summit. Prothi added that this is why the UN secretary-general António Guterres's 'Early Warning for All' call is important. On World Meteorological Day, 23 March 2022, Guterres announced that the UN would spearhead new action 'to ensure every person on Earth is protected by early-warning systems within five years". 'Today, one third of the world's people, mainly in least developed countries and small island developing states, are still not covered by early-warning systems. This is unacceptable, particularly with climate impacts sure to get even worse. Early warnings and action save lives," Guterres said. Once India's system is in place, critical damage to public and private infrastructure can be avoided, said Ravichandran. For example, if a bullet train is going from one place to another, timely information can alert the system, which will stop the bullet train and cut off the transmission line, he said.
