A shocking new way to treat infections
Titanium has many properties that make it a great choice for use in implants. Its low density, high stiffness, high biomechnanical strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance have led to its use in several types of implants, from dental to joints.
Stem cell study offers new way to study early development and pregnancy
Although graduating from school, a first job and marriage can be important events in life, some of the most significant events happen far earlier: in the first few days after a sperm fertilizes an egg and the cell begins to divide.
Starvation halts brain development, but hungry cells jump-start growth when food becomes available
We all know that food is essential to healthy development of the brain and body, especially in the earliest stages of life. But exactly how early brain growth is affected by nutrition is not as well understood, especially on a cellular level.
Lab-grown, testosterone-producing cells could help treat hypogonadism
Testosterone levels slowly decreases with age, but can also fall suddenly as a result of illnesses such as mumps or as a result of cancer therapy during childhood. The condition, which affects millions of men, can have a negative impact on mood, sex life and health.
Venom-producing snake organoids developed in the lab
The dark and bright side of snakes and their venom have fascinated mankind for millennia. Snakebite kills more than 100.000 people (and disables an estimated 400,000 individuals) every year, while many more suffer from ophidiophobia, an abnormal fear of snakes.
Early data show CAR-NK cells’ potential to overcome CAR-T toxicity – and Takeda is interested
While CAR-T cells have been able to produce strong clinical responses in many patients with certain blood cancers, they also come with potentially serious hurdles in terms of toxicity, manufacturing and logistics.
Immune cells fight cancers through manipulation
Once again, the researchers of the country have gathered together. This time for interaction and improving the level of an effective scientific branch in cancer treatment.
Iranian Drugs and Medical Equipment Will Be Exported to East Africa
The prerequisite for the development of Iran"s export of medicines and medical equipment is the registration of medical items in export target markets. Iran is one of the countries with good medical capabilities in the field of medicine and medical equipment and can export these products to other countries.
Space Station Research Into Brain Cells Aims to Better Understand Parkinson’s, MS
Research conducted aboard the International Space Station will look at how nerve cells interact with key immune cells of the brain in low-gravity conditions. The goal is to better understand nervous system damage in Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS) — and help improve their treatments.
Lab-Grown Heart Muscles Have Been Transplanted Into a Human For The First Time
On Monday, researchers from Japans Osaka University announced the successful completion of a first-of-its-kind heart transplant.
