25.05.2011Increasing the concentration of copper or iron is a "double-edged sword" for the brain, simultaneously stimulating the production of free radicals and disrupting DNA repair.
24.05.2011The implanted electrode complex partially restored the motor function of a man paralyzed after a spinal cord injury.
23.05.2011Chemical compounds that suppress the activity of Rasip1 can probably resist the development of cancer in two ways: through disruption of the nutrition of tumor tissue cells and disruption of the transport system of degenerated cells.
18.05.2011Researchers from Pennsylvania claim that if an obese person begins to exercise intensively, he is more likely to get heart problems than to gain muscle mass and "burn" excess fat.
11.05.2011A mechanism has been found to suppress the synthesis of cellular protein, which is associated with hunger and is involved in the transformation of so-called brown fat into white fat.
04.05.2011A long-term study of monkeys stealing cocktails from bars of Caribbean resorts has shown that the alcoholic preferences of animals are no different from human ones.
27.04.2011In addition to telomerase, there is another mechanism of immortality that tumor cells use – alternative telomere elongation using homologous recombination of chromosomes.
25.04.2011One way to study the function of a gene is to turn it off. However, if a gene is important for survival, it will kill the organism before its function is determined. CSHL scientists have overcome this obstacle with the help of reversible RNA interference technology
21.04.2011The flavonoid nobiletin contained in tangerines not only helps prevent obesity, but also protects against type 2 diabetes and even atherosclerosis. Interest in resveratrol, and then sirtuins began with the same effects...
18.04.2011The "hormone of youth" Klotho, an excess of which prolongs the life of mice by a third, can protect the kidneys from fibrosis and prevent the formation of cancer metastases.
18.04.2011At the exhibition "Life. Science version" science art, in which art and the latest scientific developments are woven together, has proved to be a very effective way to popularize science.
13.04.2011Deciphering the mechanism of the relationship between tumor and immune processes will help not only to facilitate the treatment of cancer, but also to understand the nature and ways to combat autoimmune inflammation.
13.04.2011Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a key regulator of fat cell formation. This protein molecule may become the target of more effective drugs for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
13.04.2011There is no doubt that the herpes virus is involved in the processes leading to the development of senile dementia. It is necessary to determine whether drugs for the treatment of herpes can slow down or prevent Alzheimer's disease.
11.04.2011The festival "Life. Version of Science" started today and will last until April 17. It is dedicated to various aspects of life – the origin of life, evolution, new possibilities of medicine, the development of artificial intelligence and robotics.
24.03.2011The brain-computer interface allows paralyzed patients to play music using the power of thought.
22.03.2011St. Petersburg Academic University (SPbAU) RAS accepts students for Master's degree in three areas: theoretical computer science, software development and algorithmic bioinformatics.
