Russian and Iranian Scientists Collaborate to Develop Innovative Treatment for Osteoporosis


Scientists from Tomsk State University (TSU) and Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, have teamed up to pioneer a revolutionary treatment for osteoporosis. The project, backed by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, aims to devise an effective method for restoring bone tissue using biodegradable 3D polymer scaffolds. Osteoporosis, acknowledged by the World Health Organization as one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases globally, significantly elevates the risk of bone fractures, ranking fourth after cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and oncology.
