Uncovering a Rare Bone Disorder: Iranian Researchers Find New Genetic Clue

In Iran, scientists recently discovered a new genetic change in people with a rare bone condition. This condition, called osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), makes bones very weak and easy to break. Usually, this happens because of problems in two specific genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2. However, in some cases,

How Tiny Droplets Might Help Fight Brain Diseases

Inside cells, there are tiny droplets that act like little factories. These droplets, called coacervates, are important for many cell functions. They form when certain molecules group together, creating a separate liquid phase within the cell. This process is normal and helps cells work properly. H
