18.01.2010The fat-splitting enzyme monoacylglycerollipase is a potential target for the treatment of particularly malignant forms of cancer. In addition, the data obtained may explain the relationship between obesity and cancer.
18.01.2010Chips, on the surface of which carbon nanotubes are applied using an inkjet printer, will in the future allow, without leaving home, to quickly determine the content of hormones in the blood.
18.01.2010Exposure to specific areas of the cell surface receptors leads to a change in their activity. This phenomenon opens up new ways to search for new drugs of selective action with minimal side effects.
18.01.2010The combination of two types of nanoparticles, one of which finds a tumor, and the other destroys it, will not only increase the efficiency of operations, but also develop effective cancer treatment methods without surgical intervention.
18.01.2010The Russian Youth Award in the field of nanoindustry was established by the State Corporation "Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies". In 2010, the Prize fund will amount to 300,000 rubles.
15.01.2010A new, much more effective method of genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells can facilitate the study of human genetic diseases and screening of potential therapeutic agents.
15.01.2010An experimental vaccine made on the basis of malignant cells has shown high efficiency in the fight against one of the forms of blood cancer – chronic myeloid leukemia.
15.01.2010The contest "Get a prize and lose weight" is over. The time has come for the distribution of prizes – devices that guarantee weight loss.
14.01.2010The Y chromosome has traditionally been considered a weak point of male organisms, reducing genetic diversity and hindering evolution. However, recent studies have shown that fears about the extinction of the male gender are greatly exaggerated.
14.01.2010The rapid development of modern biotechnologies is taking place in several key areas at once, in each of which promising results have already been achieved.
14.01.2010The V Anniversary International Conference "Genomics, Proteomics, bioinformatics and nanobiotechnologies for medicine" will be held on 31.05-05.06.2010 on the ship following the route St. Petersburg–Valaam–Konevets–Kizhi–St. Petersburg.
14.01.2010The work of Oxford biochemists has shown the unconditional benefit of full hips and legs. Moreover, scientists have clearly demonstrated what will happen if you abruptly get rid of the "lower fat".
13.01.2010Nanocarcass not only provides comfortable conditions for implanted neural stem cells, but also slows down the rate of their growth and differentiation, which facilitates the "acclimatization" of cells in new conditions.
13.01.2010It seems to me that this will be a difficult year for Russian science. The most active research teams will suffer the most. Young graduates of graduate schools will be leaving. And, in general, they will be right.
12.01.2010The TinkerCell program, an analogue of CAD for visual modeling of molecular biological processes, should become a powerful tool for synthetic biology.
12.01.2010On the occasion of the death of Theresia Staffler, who ranked 45th in the world list of centenarians, RIA Novosti has written an article in which the facts that do not inspire doubt are mixed with dubious tales and obvious legends.
