A new therapy that uses two antioxidants shrunk together by employing nanotechnology could effectively prevent the nagging problem of organ damage in diabetics1.

Researchers from Mohali-based National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in Punjab have found that ideal candidates for such a therapy are biodegradable nano-co-encapsulated antioxidant particles (NanoCAPs) of ellagic acid (EA) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
