Bhubaneswar: In a significant scientific development, researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela have patented a novel formulation for the treatment of skin cancer, developed from an unusual yet powerful combination of pumpkin petal extracts and silk proteins. As per a recent media report in The Times of India, the formulation harnesses the natural antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of pumpkin petals, while silk proteins provide exceptional biocompatibility and structural strength. To enhance effectiveness, the team has incorporated a nanofiber-based delivery system, allowing precise targeting of cancerous cells and minimizing toxic side effects often associated with conventional treatments. According to the researchers, this innovation is not only eco-friendly and sustainable but also holds the potential to serve as a cost-effective alternative for millions of patients battling skin cancer. The patented technology has already undergone several stages of validation, paving the way for further development toward clinical application. Times of Indiareports that this patent marks a major step forward in leveraging natural resources and advanced biomaterials to design therapies that could transform cancer care in India and beyond.
