22.10.2013A new method for determining the biological age of human tissues is based on measuring the level of DNA methylation. According to this method, cancer cells are older than healthy ones, and breast tissue ages faster than the rest of the body.
21.10.2013Three DNA laboratories of the Investigative Committee in 2013 established the involvement of 626 persons in crimes, and also identified the identity of 257 unidentified corpses. Soon there will be 3 more such laboratories in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
18.10.2013A mutation in the genome of Caucasians that enhances the work of the UV protection gene simultaneously increases the likelihood of developing testicular cancer.
14.10.2013Physical activity causes changes in the expression of genes associated with the development of obesity and diabetes in adipose tissue cells. The participants of the experiment have not changed their weight or BMI in six months, but their figures have become more athletic, and their health indicators are better, which we wish you :)
10.10.2013Mutations associated with these eating disorders affect different links of the signaling pathway, which involves the estrogen-related alpha receptor (ESRRA).
09.10.2013The emotional satisfaction of each spouse with the relationship in marriage depends on the variant of the gene present in them that regulates the transfer of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.
09.10.2013As the population grows, the number of truly dangerous mutations decreases, but for each gene there are more variants of "moderate danger".
07.10.2013Academician Scriabin – about genetic tests, implanted microchips, genetically modified products and what to really be afraid of.
07.10.2013Scientists from Chicago have processed 110 million case histories in search of a link between monogenic diseases caused by known mutations and diseases whose exact causes are unknown.
02.10.2013In addition to individual mutations, certain types of cancer have common mutations found in most tumors, and now scientists know how these common mutations should look.
01.10.2013Mitochondrial protein can become a target of drugs that induce apoptosis of cancer cells.
30.09.2013The first results of an unprecedented scale study of the molecular features of cancer tumors are presented by scientists.
27.09.2013The pre-conception test is intended for expectant parents and is carried out before the conception of a child. Its goal is to minimize the risk of the birth of children with severe hereditary diseases.
23.09.2013In the presence of a certain variant of the insulin receptor-1 substrate gene, patients with metabolic syndrome may benefit not from low-fat foods, but, on the contrary, a diet with a high fat content.
17.09.2013The mutation, due to which pain sensitivity is impaired, may allow the development of a fundamentally new type of analgesics.
16.09.2013An important step towards understanding the work of the genome and personalized medicine has been made: scientists sequenced RNA in five human populations and obtained a picture of the diversity of individual gene activity.
16.09.2013A single administration of a drug blocking the signaling pathway of the sonic hedgehog protein to newborn mice with Down syndrome ensures the formation of a full-fledged cerebellum in animals and improves their mental abilities.
05.09.2013In patients with Parkinson's disease, mutations in the Fbxo7 gene disrupt the mitophagy process, leading to the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. This can explain, at least in part, the death of brain cells.
02.09.20132 weeks before the start, the organizers of the annual competition of geneticists and researchers Archon Genomics XPRIZE decided to cancel the competition, because its requirements are ahead of even the latest innovations.
