Transplantation without immunosuppressants and without organ rejection
Researchers from King's College in London prevented the rejection of the transplant by the immune cells of the recipient animal. At the same time, the immune system has not lost its ability to fight infection and degenerated (atypical, cancerous) cells.

Just one gyrus – not from the cap, but because of a "defective" gene
Replacing just two nucleotides in the gene of one of the cell membrane proteins, laminin gamma 3 (LAMC3), can turn a genius into an idiot: this mutation leads to underdevelopment of the convolutions in the cerebral cortex.

Displacement of old age
In a rapidly aging world, aging people are treated badly, sometimes even extremely badly. And here is one of the reasons that people try not to get old. Or at least not look aging (not to mention "old").

Will disabling Rasip1 protein synthesis help to suffocate the tumor?
Chemical compounds that suppress the activity of Rasip1 can probably resist the development of cancer in two ways: through disruption of the nutrition of tumor tissue cells and disruption of the transport system of degenerated cells.
