03.11.2009Knockout of the IKKE gene in mice not only prevents excess weight gain, even on a very fatty diet, but also protects them from obesity-related symptoms leading to the development of type 2 diabetes.
04.09.2009Scientists have identified a key element determining the relationship between diet and longevity. As it turned out, two proteins are responsible for the lifespan of nematodes, the activity of which depends on the amount of food consumed.
30.06.2009These cells were found for the first time in the tissue of a recently transplanted and, accordingly, actively regenerating donor liver. For 30-50 thousand hepatocytes, there are only 2-4 cells in it, expressing in large numbers all known stem cell marker proteins, such as Stat3, Oct4, Nanog, ELF and the TGF-beta receptor.
12.02.2008The new synthetic biomaterial, which is a strong network of DNA strands and nanotubes, resembles soft tissues of biological origin in mechanical properties.
25.05.2009In response to damage to the vessel wall, smooth muscle cells move from a state of "resting phenotype", in which they are only able to contract, to a state of "synthesis phenotype", when they begin to proliferate. The FHL2 protein synthesized by heart cells suppresses the activity of genes necessary for the preservation of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels in a state of "rest".

01.10.2020Sequencing one human genome with this technique using a single tunneling microscope will take several months, and the tunneling microscope itself is not a cheap thing; there are many other technical difficulties. However, the problems facing the first chemical sequencers were even more complicated.
