TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian scientists at
Royan Institute for Reproductive
Biomedicine, Stem Cell Biology and
Technology plan to produce human
body parts by supplementing stem
cells in the body of animals.
"In the new project of the Royan
institute, we plan to produce human
organs in the body of animals through
supplementation of stem cells," Head of
Royan Institute Mohammad Hossein Nasr
Esfahani told FNA in the Central city of
Isfahan on Sunday.
"Through this research, we will acquire
the technology to produce human organs
in the bodies of animals which will be
used for organ transplantation," he
added.
Royan Institute for Reproductive
Biomedicine, Stem Cell Biology and
Technology is a leading Iranian biomedical
research center involved in stem cell
technology and regenerative medicine.
The institute was established in 1991. Its
first director was Professor Saeid Kazzemi
Ashtiani. Since its establishment, the
institute has had close collaborations with
other leading Iranian research centers as
Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics
(IBB), NRCGEB, Bone Marrow
Transplantation Center at Shariati hospital
in Tehran.
The Department of Stem Cells was
established in 2002 to establish
embryonic stem cell lines and to
differentiate them to some different
kinds of cells including: Cardiomyocytes,
Beta Cells, and Neural Cells.
Royan is a leading stem cell research
center in Asia and Middle-East too.
Scientists at the stem cell department of
Iran's Royan Research Center successfully
produced a mouse using embryonic stem
cells.
The mouse was created by injecting the
embryonic stem cells of a black mouse
into a white mouse's blastosists.
The resulted embryos were then
transferred to another mouse's uterine
and finally a chimera mouse was born, he
continued.
In 2006, Royan Research Center scientists
successfully cloned the country's first
lamb, Royana.
