23.08.2013If you want to lose weight, absolutely any diet will help you – unless you decide to change not only your diet, but also your lifestyle.
22.08.2013The activity of cancer mRNAs depends on the mutual work of two proteins that untangle loops and knots on the regulatory site of such mRNAs and enable the ribosome to begin synthesis of the cancer protein on it.
22.08.2013Scientists have revised the view of the source of pain in infectious tissue damage. Pain neurons are affected not by inflammation, but by multiplying bacteria. In addition, it turned out that pain does not stimulate, but suppresses the immune response.
22.08.2013Scientists have shown for the first time that the aging process occurs not only as a result of the accumulation of mutations in mitochondrial DNA during life. Mutations inherited from the mother can accelerate the aging process.
22.08.2013It is possible that existing drugs that suppress the expression of the CD33 gene may have the potential to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
22.08.2013Dutch and American researchers studied the data of about 30 thousand diabetics aged 60 years and older over a ten-year period. They found 8 factors that most often precede the development of senile dementia.
21.08.2013Statistical analysis shows that the use of LSD, psilocybin and similar substances does not cause dependence and does not cause long-term damage to the psyche.

21.08.2013An international team of scientists has deciphered the genome of Brandt's moths – bats weighing 6-8 g, some individuals of which have lived for over 40 years. Perhaps this will help to find genes related to life expectancy and longevity in humans.
21.08.2013The Canadian dentist's collection already has tissue samples with the DNA of Marilyn Monroe, Justin Bieber and Paul McCartney. He recently bought a John Lennon tooth and hopes to clone it someday.
21.08.2013If it is possible to isolate a damaged gene from patients, in addition to many unpleasant consequences that look decades younger than biological age, it can be used as a target for drugs that slow down aging.
20.08.2013In order for the immune system to respond to tumor cells, it is necessary to suppress the activity of immune T-regulatory cells that monitor the autoimmune response.
20.08.2013The Beringer-Ingelheim Foundation allocates grants for dissertation research (PhD) to promising young scientists specializing in fundamental biomedicine.
20.08.2013For patients over 75 years of age with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, half a dose of a modern antiplatelet is as effective as a whole dose of a traditional drug.
20.08.2013The First Bioinformatics Summer School was attended by 100 students, postgraduates and young specialists of biological and technical specialties interested in the field of bioinformatics.
19.08.2013Scientists at the University of Georgia are developing a treatment method in which nanoparticles that "reprogram" dendritic cells are used to recognize cancer cells and strengthen the attack on them by the immune system.
19.08.2013For the first time in modern history, a court decision will sterilize a man whom psychiatrists consider not smart enough.
