TEHRAN (ANA)- As a species, humans like to think that we are fully in control of our decisions and behavior. But just below the surface, forces beyond our conscious control influence how we think and behave: our genes.

TEHRAN (ANA)- New research has revealed that the lag observed in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) when switched on is due to a two-step activation process, providing crucial insights for designing more effective and customizable OECTs for various technological and biological applications.

TEHRAN (ANA)- An Iranian scientist at a technological company stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Shahr-e Kord branch has studied different methods to immunize laboratory animals and fragmentation of sperm DNA by using the flow cytometry method.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Studies show that biodegradable straws made from paper and bioplastics like CDA and PHA degrade in ocean water within 8 to 20 months, offering a promising solution to reduce marine pollution from plastic straws.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A new aging atlas created by researchers from HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus, Baylor College of Medicine, and Creighton University School of Medicine provides a detailed view of how cells and tissues in roundworms age.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A study by Johns Hopkins Medicine and NIH’s National Institute on Aging on 40 older adults with obesity and insulin resistance found that both intermittent fasting and a USDA-approved healthy diet improved brain function and metabolic health, with intermittent fasting showing slightly better results in cognitive improvements.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian researchers succeeded in production of optimized recombinant viral vectors capable of effective and less invasive transfer of the RPGR gene by intravitreal injection for gene therapy and prevention of blindness in patients with the hereditary disease of retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers discovered that a protein called the J chain, which helps the immune system function properly, originally came from a different family of genes known as CXCL chemokines.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A senior Iranian official announced that the country is standing among the first 12 countries of the world which have had the highest number of scientific articles in the field of biotechnology.

TEHRAN (ANA)- An Iranian researcher and his teammates at the University of Tehran are working on producing a synthetic fuel in a laboratory environment with the least pollution level through a simulator and combining percentages of materials together.
