Nanotechnology has opened a new field in medicine as well as in other sciences. The aim of this study was to seek the capability of nanotechnology for the treatment of various reproductive diseases. In this study, we analyzed all articles about “nanotechnology and reproductive medicine” published in 2000-2015, indexed in Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct. This study indicated that nanot...

the systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the bull shark ( carcharhinus leucas ) in iran are described, the species is illustrated, and a bibliography on this fish in iran is provided.

Apelin is a recently discovered bioactive peptide, known to be an endogenous high-affinity ligandfor the previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Apelin/APJ as a novel signaling pathwayhas been shown to play many crucial roles in cardiovascular function, blood pressure regulation, fluidhomeostasis, feeding behavior, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adipoinsular axis regulation, cellp...

colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of digestive system and the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. genetic background is thought to play a role in modulating individual risk to this cancer. many studies support an association for insulin pathway gene polymorphisms and   the regulation of tumor cell biology in c...

as recent advancements in biology shows, the molecular machines specially proteins, rna and complex molecules play the main role of the so called cell functionality. it means a very big part of the system biology is concerned with the interactions of such molecular components. drug industries and research institutes are trying hard to better understand the concepts underlying these interactions...

collection of multiple processes that increase the chronological age of an organism leading to death is defined as aging, and even though important, it is poorly understood. recent research has shown that aging is due to biochemical and genetic changes, in interaction with environmental effects, including diet and nutrition. most knowledge on aging is based on ge­netic model system, but its mol...

the systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the lamprey of iran are described, the species is illustrated, and a bibliography on this fish in iran is provided. there is one native and endemic species in the caspian sea basin, caspiomyzon wagneri . the genus caspiomyzon is characterised by having 2 dorsal fins, an oral disc narrower than the body, ...
