By using vanadia nanowires, a team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore was able to successfully remove any excess reactive oxygen species produced. The vanadia nanowires functionally mimic an antioxidant enzyme (glutathione peroxidase) produced by the body to scavenge hydrogen peroxide. Glutathione peroxidase is one of the two enzymes that control the level of hydrogen peroxide inside a cell. The results of the study were published recently in the journal Nature Communications. thehindu/sci-tech/science/iisc-novel-way-to-reduce-cell-damage-found/article6658872.ece
