TEHRAN (ANA)- We all know how important sleep is for mental health, but a meta-analysis by the University of Chicago found that getting good shut-eye also helps our immune systems respond to vaccination.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from the University of Tokyo have uncovered a new species of microalgae, named Medakamo hakoo, during a DNA analysis of water from a home aquarium.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from Boston University and Harvard University created a biomimetic model to study wound healing in burn and laceration wounds and discovered that fibroblasts -- normally considered building cells that give shape and strength to tissues and organs -- clear away damaged tissue before depositing new material.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A team of researchers from Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine has made a discovery that may have implications for therapeutic gene editing strategies, cancer diagnostics and therapies and other advancements in biotechnology.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Rice University scientists have enlisted widely used cancer therapy systems to control gene expression in mammalian cells, a feat of synthetic biology that could change how diseases are treated.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Mount Sinai researchers have published one of the first studies to demonstrate the importance of reactive oxygen species in maintaining stem cell function and preventing inflammation during wound repair, which could provide greater insights into the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

TEHRAN (ANA)- Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of severe blood cancers is the only medical intervention that has cured two people living with HIV in the past and an international group of physicians and researchers  at the German Center for Infection Research has now identified another case in which HIV infection has been shown to be cured in the same way.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at Scripps Research examined how the levels of various proteins in brain cells change in response to brain activity.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A new imaging technique created by Barcelona-based researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) captures the three-dimensional architecture of the human genome with unprecedented detail, showing how individual genes fold at the level of nucleosomes, the fundamental units constituting the genome’s three-dimensional architecture.

TEHRAN (ANA)- New findings by the Rockefeller University suggest that many of the mutations in cancer may simply be setting in stone a path already forged by the tumor stem cell's aberrant dialogue with its surroundings.
