19.12.2011Human embryonic stem cells, due to their unique ability to self-renew and pluripotency, are a promising therapeutic candidate for tools for the treatment of age-related diseases.
19.12.2011Specialists from Genetech have created antibodies that activate brown adipose tissue, which helps to burn fat and normalize blood sugar levels. The only side effect: the experimental mice lost 10% weight.
19.12.2011The most common study of a mobile phone helps with Alzheimer's disease; radio waves with similar parameters help with cancer and multiple sclerosis. And the data about the harm of mobile phones that made their way into scientific journals turned out to be falsified.
16.12.2011The US National Institutes of Health has stopped funding new research using chimpanzees. Animal advocates are trying to ensure that the chimpanzees that are still with scientists are moved to nature reserves.
16.12.2011Scientists at the Salk Institute have synthesized a drug that prevents the progression of Alzheimer's disease. And Finnish researchers hope that within the next 3 years their method of early detection of this disease will be put into practice.
16.12.2011The oncogenic Myc protein has no binding sites with which compounds with medicinal properties could interact. American researchers have chosen a different approach – disabling not the oncogene itself, but its helper genes.
