Scientists Developing Stem Cell Cure for Machado-Joseph Disease
TEHRAN (ANA)- A team of Portuguese scientists at the University of Coimbra (UC) has successfully generated human stem cells from skin cells, which could help fight against the neurodegenerative disease SCA3.
Scientists Discover Never-Aging RNA in Brain
TEHRAN (ANA)- Neuroscientists at FAU have discovered that certain building blocks in nerve cells can last a lifetime.
Researchers Discover New Origin of Deep Brain Waves
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from the University of California, Irvine’s biomedical engineering department have discovered a new origin for two essential brain waves—slow waves and sleep spindles—that are critical for deep sleep.
Iranian Scientists Make Breakthrough in Restoration of Amputated Finger with Stem Cells
TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian researchers at Royan Research Institute made new discoveries by studying the role of secretions (exosomes) isolated from stem cells in repairing the cartilage of the amputated finger.
Iranian Knowledge-based Company Domestically Produces Body Composition Analyzer
TEHRAN (ANA)- A knowledge-based company for the first time in Iran has successfully produced a body composition analyzer based on bioelectrical technology, which assists nutritional doctors and sports instructors in assessing people's health and fitness.
Remarkable Cells Shaping Our Development
TEHRAN (ANA)- A new study shows that as cells grow in the embryonic incisor tooth, they feel the growing pressure and use this information to organize themselves.
Scientists Identify Rare Gene Variants Able to Increase Risk of Obesity by Up to 500%
TEHRAN (ANA)- New research conducted by the Medical Research Council (MRC) has identified genetic variants in two genes that have some of the largest impacts on obesity risk discovered to date.
Princeton Researchers Develop More Precise Gene-Editing Tool
TEHRAN (ANA)- Princeton scientists make a major improvement to a CRISPR-based gene-editing tool called “prime editing.”
Scientists Uncover Molecular Fingerprint of Biological Aging
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified blood-based markers that are associated with healthy and accelerated aging which can help predict a person’s biological age, which reflects the aging rate of their cells and organs, independent of their chronological age.
Scientists Develop New Treatment for Tendon-Bone Injuries
TEHRAN (ANA)- A research team, led by the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics (SIC), has developed a multicellular scaffold based on inorganic bioceramics for treating tendon-to-bone injuries.
