Vicious Circle Leads to Loss of Brain Cells in Old Age
The so-called CB1 receptor is responsible for the intoxicating effect of cannabis. However, it appears to act also as a kind of “sensor” with which neurons measure and control the activity of certain immune cells in the brain. A recent study by the University of Bonn at least points in this direction. If the sensor […]
Iranian researchers make eye drop to improve corneal stem cell growth
TEHRAN– Researchers of Royan Research Institute made eye drop which can improve corneal stem cell growth. With the production of eye drop from amniotic membrane, they [researchers] could improve the growth of Limbal Stem Cell after grafting ring around the cornea. Limbal Stem Cells are epithelial stem cells that are found in corneous limbus layer […]
Cells Programmed Like Computers to Fight Disease
TEHRAN – Cells can be programmed like a computer to fight cancer, influenza, and other serious conditions — thanks to a breakthrough in synthetic biology. Led by Professor Alfonso Jaramillo in the School of Life Sciences, new research has discovered that a common molecule — ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is produced abundantly by humans, plants […]
