27.08.2014Interview with biologist Evgeny Cheval about the cell life cycle, oncogenesis and chemotherapy.
27.08.2014It was found that with an increase in the activity of the MAO-A enzyme, the likelihood of prostate cancer and the appearance of its metastases sharply increases.
27.08.2014Stanford specialists have developed an implantable sensor device that allows glaucoma patients to independently measure intraocular pressure, a sharp increase in which with this disease can lead to vision loss.
26.08.2014Bacteria living in the gastrointestinal tract can influence the host's eating behavior. This hypothesis was put forward by American scientists based on a review of a large number of independent studies.
20.08.2014A small electronic tattoo is attached to a person's body and monitors the state of his health during physical training. The device will be powered by the decomposition of lactic acid released with sweat during intense loads.
20.08.2014In developed countries, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia in the elderly is gradually decreasing. At the same time, in developing and poor countries, the incidence of all forms of senile dementia will grow in the near future.
17.07.2014Specialists of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) for the first time talked about the possibility of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
17.07.2014The neurochemical processes that occur with drug addiction are similar to those that occur with romantic love, Internet addiction or a tendency to overeating.
15.07.2014Mutation in the huntingtin gene leads to the development of severe neurodegenerative disease. But the normal form of this protein is necessary for the proper adjustment of interneuronal connections in the developing brain.
15.07.2014Identification of the SOX10 transcription factor in human brain cells, which initiates the process of myelination of nerve fibers, brings scientists closer to the possibility of treating multiple sclerosis by transplanting brain cells synthesizing myelin to patients.
09.07.2014European neurophysiologists are calling for a boycott of the largest computer brain modeling project, for which more than €1 billion will be allocated. They think it's a waste of money.
09.07.2014People with "healthy obesity" and those with obesity should lead to metabolic disorders and type 2 diabetes differ in the level of the enzyme hemoxygenase-1, necessary for the development of metabolic syndrome.
08.07.2014Danish biologists have identified more than 500 previously unknown bacterial species in the human intestinal microflora, as well as about 800 new bacteriophages. So far, the genomes of only 200-300 microorganisms living in the intestine have been sequenced.
08.07.2014California, despite the massive ten–year federal BRAIN project announced by Obama last year, has adopted its own program of neurobiological innovations - Cal-BRAIN.
04.07.2014A biorobot about a centimeter in size has the shape of the letter "P", between the "legs" of which a tourniquet of artificially grown muscle tissues is stretched. The robot's movement speed can be controlled by changing the frequency of electric current pulses.
04.07.2014The supercooling method allows to increase the period of preservation of the donor liver outside the body by 3 times compared to the existing ones – up to three days.
02.07.2014The results of another study suggest that some patients who have aggressive tumors may benefit from a group of anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
30.06.2014The FDA has registered the first exoskeleton designed for the rehabilitation of patients with spinal injuries that led to paralysis of the lower body.
30.06.2014Women who gave birth to their last child over the age of 33 are twice as likely to live to 95 and older than those who did it at 29 and younger. And the birth of a child after 40 years increases the chances of living up to a hundred 4 times.
27.06.2014The first was the discovery of the structure of DNA, the second was the decoding of the genome. Now the third revolution is taking place – the merging of life science with mathematics and information technology.
