Translation: Shiva Bakhtiari- The Umbilical Cord Bank at Royan Institute has begun the manufacturing of «Plaquete lysis » products to be used in cord cell therapy. According to Dr. MarziehEbrahimi, head of Royan’s Umbilical Cord Bank, these products are a rich source of growth factors which ...

Translation: Shiva Bakhtiari- An Iranian scientist has discovered a stem cell therapy which can prevent a form of osteoarthritis after joint injury. Injuring a joint greatly raises the odds of getting a form of osteoarthritis called post-traumatic arthritis, or PTA.

Scientist Belen Lumbierres from Universitat de Lleida and colleagues examined the effect on the reproduction and nymphal development of the predator minute pirate bug (Orius majusculus) by feeding on Bt plant materials and on Bt-fed herbivore prey.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energys Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have created a new enzyme that effectively "masks" the synthetic precursors of lignin, a plant cell wall component that makes plant biomass particularly difficult to break down.

European Biotechnology Network- the European Commission has authorized the import of Monsanto’s soy which bears additional genes for herbicide and insecticide tolerance. Just a few days after the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) had approved ...

GENNewsHighlights-Women have outlived men for years, and an Australian-led research team says the reason why is all in the genes. Mutations to the DNA of cell mitochondria can account for ...

Gen-News-Highlights- A new program will combine technologies developed at MIT, Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, MatTek, and Zyoxel to create a versatile microfluidic platform that can incorporate up to 10 individual engineered human microphysiological organ system modules in an interacting circuit.

IRRI- Rice consumers concerned about reports that rice is linked to diabetes can rest assured that rice can be part of a healthy diet; with scientists finding that the glycemic index (GI) of rice varies a lot from one type of rice to another, with most varieties scoring a low to medium GI.

Nature- 22 July 2012- Bioengineers have made an artificial jellyfish using silicone and muscle cells from a rat’s heart. The synthetic creature, dubbed a medusoid, looks like a flower with eight petals. When placed in an electric field, it pulses and swims exactly like its living counterpart.
