05.03.2009The Sonodrugs project, designed for 4 years, combines several complex projects. This includes the main scientific developments concerning the development of a new type of particles of the required size, the required structure, the required physical behavior and biocompatibility, a set of works on laboratory tests of derived particles and a set of works on the evaluation of biological distribution in vivo and the effectiveness of drug delivery technology.
03.03.2009The existing system of registration of medicines does not allow companies to quickly launch new generic and even more innovative products on the market.
03.03.2009The Los Angeles IVF center is expecting the birth of the first child with the specified characteristics next year.
03.03.2009Russian manufacturers and scientists are placed in non-competitive conditions, when the delivery of reagents is carried out for 2 or more months at prices many times higher than the catalog. Solving this problem will reduce the risk of "brain drain" in the field of biotechnology, will facilitate the creation of innovative developments and reduce the production costs of companies working in the field of healthcare and biotechnology.
02.03.2009Today we can talk about labor migration, scientific and scientific-technical exchange, but not about the mass relocation of domestic scientists abroad, as it was a few years ago.
02.03.2009Scientists were able to induce "embryonality" in adult cells without leaving "tumor" genes in them.
02.03.2009Financing of the Fund for Assistance to the Development of Small Forms of Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Sphere was cut by a third.
27.02.2009By the end of the second year of observation, the weight loss in the groups of participants who were on four different diets was almost the same – about 3-4 kg. At the same time, from 14% to 15% of the participants lost at least 10% of their body weight (10-12 kg).
26.02.2009In his new position, Andrey Svinarenko will oversee issues of stimulating domestic and external demand for high-tech products and services, educational projects of RUSNANO, issues of improving educational infrastructure to support projects funded by the corporation.
26.02.2009To assess the state of health, the owner of the device needs to breathe on it – the built-in sensors will measure the level of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia. Based on the data obtained, the phone may assume the presence of deviations in the user's health.
26.02.2009Previously, in experiments, scientists managed to grow only the internal elements of teeth. New data opens the way to the artificial creation of "full-fledged" teeth covered with enamel. In addition, gene therapy opens up new opportunities for strengthening and restoring damaged tooth enamel, as well as the prevention and treatment of caries.
25.02.2009Motor neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrate normal electrical activity and possess all the other properties of ordinary nerve cells of this type.
25.02.2009Last week, information appeared in some online media about the plans of the NTV television company to launch a new project with the participation of Kashpirovsky, known for his "healing" TV shows in the late 80s. NTV officially refuses to comment yet.

20.02.2009It is pointless to create an innovation infrastructure that is not tied to the real sector of the economy. Its task is to ensure the transfer of technology from science to industry. If we have a knowledge-intensive industry, then it is clear what the innovative infrastructure is doing, otherwise everything hangs in the air.
20.02.2009In particular, we are talking about the study of the impact of nanotechnology and nanomaterials on human health, the creation of scientific and methodological and regulatory and technical security for the use of nanotechnology and nanoindustry products, the formation of a unified system for assessing and confirming safety.
20.02.2009The application for self-replication of artificial DNA, to put it mildly, is greatly exaggerated. Brenner himself says that this molecule is reproduced in them using PCR (polymerase chain reaction). As for the evolution of molecules in vitro, this has long been a well-known approach. So we need to wait for a scientific publication to evaluate the novelty of this work.
