The initial analysis took place within weeks using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and infrared measurements. These produced the 3D computer model of the particles which gave an idea about internal and external structure. This analysis gives the initial data about carbon content and water.

A recent research study led by Karin Schelch and Michael Grusch from MedUni Vienna identified the oncoprotein YB-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in PM and demonstrates that indirect targeting of YB-1 is a promising approach to enhance sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy.
With the advancement of stem cell technology and 3D printing, researchers at the University of Oxford developed a 3D printing method for the purpose of repairing brain injuries. It was initially tested in mouse brain fragments, to this the implant was attached. These implants then got integrated with the mouse brain fragments. This newly developed technology can be used for curing lethal brain injuries.
