Iran has held the 8th Congress on Stem Cell Biology and Technology, hosting scientists from nine countries in the capital city of Tehran, Press TV reports. <\/p>\n
A group of fourteen scientists have participated in the event to discuss the importance of stem cell research and its ability to prevent genetic diseases. <\/p>\n
Irans Royan Institute for Reproductive Biomedicine, Stem Cell Biology, and Technology is the countrys leading biomedical research center involved in stem cell technology and regenerative medicine. <\/p>\n
Royan Institute researchers have used stem cell therapy to treat patients with cardiac arrest, chronic lower extremities ulcers, liver cirrhosis, and vitiligo. <\/p>\n
They have also succeeded in cloning various farm animals, including a lamb named 'Royana', a goat named 'Hanna' and two calves called 'Bonyana' and 'Tamina'. <\/p>\n
I think Iran has [made] quite a number of scientific contributions to both stem cell research and reproductive biomedicine and its a really good opportunity to be here and learn more about them, said Prof. Paul Tesar of the Case Western Reserve University, US. <\/p>\n
Iran has also taken great strides in other scientific sectors including biotechnology, medical science and aerospace research. <\/p>\n
