06.08.2015Experiments on transfusion of "young blood" to old mice have yielded amazing results, and experiments are now being carried out on humans.
04.08.2015The increased content of free radicals in the epidermis accelerates the healing of injuries in young animals, but with age this effect changes to the opposite: skin cells stop dividing, the stock of stem cells decreases, and the skin begins to age rapidly.
04.08.2015With age, proteins in the cell begin to fold poorly due to changes in the redox potential at the assembly sites of protein molecules.
04.08.2015SelectaDNA products are sold in sets for different occasions – spray, gel and other modifications. The manufacturer calls the working substance synthetic DNA.
04.08.2015A large group of bioengineers from France and the USA managed to grow real muscle tissue cells from human stem cells in the laboratory for the first time.
03.08.2015Fish, mosquitoes, cows… Many genetic tests are already being carried out on animals to improve the efficiency of cattle breeding and create new medicines.
02.08.2015Researchers from the Swedish Agricultural University have integrated a gene from barley into rice, which made it possible to obtain a culture characterized by increased yield and reduced emission of methane, a gas involved in the intensification of the greenhouse effect.
30.07.2015Biologists have created the first artificial analogue of the ribosome in the history of mankind – the key part of the cell responsible for assembling protein molecules, and taught it to respond to signals that do not exist in nature.
30.07.2015Scientists from the UK have established that there are five different types of prostate cancer, and have found a way to diagnose them differentially. This will help doctors choose the best therapy for each patient.
30.07.2015Processing, storing and transmitting volumes of information, or "big data", is a very difficult task. The Moscow EMC Center has developed a platform that allows you to solve this problem.

29.07.2015The head of the Beijing Genomics Institute, Jun Wang, surprised the scientific community by resigning his powers in early July 2015. Now he has announced his desire to focus on research in the field of artificial intelligence.
29.07.2015Earthworms is a universal factory for the production of eco–friendly and effective fertilizers, high-quality food protein, as well as biologically active components for pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.
28.07.2015The DNA catalog of every inhabitant of Iceland, together with genealogical and medical data about the inhabitants of this island, will become a unique resource that will help scientists identify the causes of terrible diseases and suggest methods of their treatment.
28.07.2015Stanford University researchers reported that computed tomography causes DNA damage. According to the authors' calculations, the radiation dose during CT is 120 times higher than during chest X-ray examination.
28.07.2015The study by Korean scientists has not yet given humanity a cure for and does not promise life extension, but it is an important first step towards a more complete understanding of the life cycle and functions of cells.
