Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells Technologies

Secretary of the council for stem cells science and technology accelerated the pace of the development and flourishing of innovation and technology ecosystem in the province in the field of stem cells during his trip to North Khorasan.

In the 1404 vision document, the Islamic Republic of Iran is a society with advanced knowledge, capable of producing science and technology, based on the superior contribution of human resources and social wealth to improve national production and economics.

Secretary of the council for stem cell sciences and technologies stated: the number of active knowledge-based companies was less than the fingers of hands a few years ago.

Secretary of the council for stem cells sciences and technologies stated: to facilitate the entrance of gene therapy products into the market, we need to define the infrastructures and design relevant regulations. In this regard, following up the gene therapy regulations has been prioritized in the mentioned headquarter.

Today, more than 80 knowledge-based companies are active in the field of stem cells, entrance of products of which to the society has increased hope in patients.

The president of the fifth symposium on genetics and stem cells with a gene therapy approach regarded this area as one of the fields that have had suitable improvements with the help of the researchers of the country.

The council for stem cells sciences and technologies will hold the fifth symposium on “genetics and stem cells with a gene therapy approach” to witness the interaction of activists of this field.

The scientific secretary of “symposium on use of stem cells in treatment of neonatal diseases” regarded the objective of the event to be evaluating the practical approaches in implementation, presenting new services in this field, and designing and performing applied research to provide services to relevant groups.

A material based on a natural product of bones and citrus fruit, called citrate, provides the extra energy that stem cells need to form new bone tissue, according to a team of Penn State bioengineers. Their new understanding of the mechanism that allows citrate to aid in bone regeneration will help the researchers develop slow-release, biodegradable, citrate-releasing scaffolds to act as bone-growth templates to speed up healing in the body.

Secretary of the third national festival and international congress on stem cells and regenerative medicine said: Iran has moved in cellular sciences and regenerative medicine along with the world so that it has ranked first in the region and 14th in world in stem cells.
