Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells Technologies

A new cell culture platform allows researchers to observe never-before-seen behaviors of live cancer cells under the microscope, leading to explanations of long-known cancer characteristics.

Dynamic environments determine cell fate decisions and function. Understanding the relationship between extrinsic signals on cellular responses and cell fate requires the ability to dynamically change environmental inputs in vitro, while continuously observing individual cells over extended periods of time.

Bone fractures and segmental bone defects are a significant source of patient morbidity and place a staggering economic burden on the healthcare system.

A biotooth is defined as a complete living tooth, made in laboratory cultures from a spontaneous interplay between epithelial and mesenchymal cell-based frontal systems.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to represent the number one cause of death and disability in industrialized countries.

Scientists have discovered a link between certain genetic mutations, the aggressiveness of prostate cancer, risk of developing the disease and poorer survival rates of patients.

New research offers clues as to why some diseases are highly variable between individuals. The phenomenon is apparent in people with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that causes the light-sensing cells in the eye to degenerate.

Using a new genetic engineering method, scientists in China have birthed healthy baby mice using the DNA of two same-sex parents. Born without defects, the fatherless mice developed normally and went on to produce healthy offspring.

Formation of new blood vessels, a process also known as angiogenesis, is one of the major clinical challenges in wound healing and tissue implants.

In a meeting with hundreds of young elites and outstanding scientific talents, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei described the young elites of the country as a source of hope for the brilliant future of Iran, and pointed to the need for vigilance in the face of the deceit and chicanery of the Great Satan (the US).
