How to age a tumor

Inactivation of the Id1 gene in tumor cells in 40% of animals, inactivation of the Id1 gene led to complete recovery. It was not the death of cancer cells that led to the disappearance of tumors, but their physiological aging – a complete loss of the ability to divide.

The appearance of cholesterol in atherosclerotic plaques is a secondary process. The cholesterol theory of atherosclerosis is not shared by many biochemists, physiologists and gerontologists. Atherosclerosis under a variety of conditions can occur with a low cholesterol content in the blood and, conversely, may be absent in people with high cholesterol.

Protein map of human saliva

About 1.5 tons of ascorbic acid are imported to Russia annually. Thus, about $ 15 million from the fatherland goes over the cordon in an explicit form, in a hidden form – for dietary supplements and other products containing ascorbic acid sold, consider at least four times more. Plus lost jobs and lost tax deductions.

Telomerase begins to reveal its secrets

American scientists have compiled a protein map (proteome) of human saliva, identifying more than a thousand proteins contained in the secret of the salivary glands. The results of the study can be used in the development of new, rapid and non-invasive tests for many dangerous diseases.

microRNA will help in the fight against lung cancer

Activation of genes that stimulate the development of neurons in other cells contributes to malignancy. By preventing the binding of beta-TRCP and REST molecules, it is possible to cure tumors of tissues whose cells originate from the same germ leaf – ectoderm as the nervous system.

The technique of therapeutic cloning is quite complex in technical terms and ambiguous from an ethical point of view, but with its help it was possible to cure Parkinson's disease in mice. In the future, it may become an effective method of combating Parkinson's disease in humans.

Pyroptosis: to die, so with music!

Scientists at the University of Washington have discovered another mechanism of cellular self–destruction, characteristic of potentially dangerous cells - for example, dying under the influence of infectious agents. The authors called this mechanism of cell death pyroptosis – "death by fire".
