On April 22, 2020, in the Municipal Zoological Garden in Warsaw, 4 kittens of Wilma and Fred's cheetahs were born. After a few months, it turned out that one of the kittens, and then the next limping and having problems with movement. Doctors after routine examinations RTG found that kittens suffer from Complicated fractures of the bones of the paws.

On May 28, 2021, our colleague from the Laboratory of Nanostructures (NL-4) MSc Eng. Julia Higuchi defended her doctoral thesis on:
Biodegradable Barrier Membranes for Tissue Separation Fabricated by Means of Electrospinning and Ultrasonic Coating with Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles
The Laboratory of Nanostructures at IWC PAS has developed an innovative technology for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite* nanoparticles - a synthetic equivalent of the mineral responsible for bone formation. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to obtain nanoparticles of precisely controlled size.
* Patent-protected technology: PAT.235292 „Method for of producing nano-plates of synthetic hydroxyapatite and nanopowder comprising a synthetic hydroxyapatite nano-plates”
