26.10.2009A fragment of the maxillary bone, which is part of the temporomandibular joint, was grown in a bioreactor from bone marrow stem cells, which were seeded onto a frame that copies the shape of the corresponding bone of the patient.
12.10.2009The oldest person on the planet may be a resident of an Arab village in Israel. According to the archives of the Israeli Interior Ministry, she was born in 1888 and will soon celebrate her 120th birthday.
13.02.2008The next stage of clinical trials of a universal influenza vaccine has been successfully completed. A universal vaccine will be able to protect a person from a variety of flu strains and prevent death and serious complications from the disease.
29.04.2009The method of cell reprogramming, which the authors called "transcriptome induced phenotype remodeling" (transcriptome induced phenotype remodeling) is that the original cell is not turned into a pluripotent one, capable of developing in several directions. Instead of "embryonic genes", a large amount of matrix RNA is injected into the cell, on which proteins characteristic of the desired type of cells are synthesized.
20.04.2009Researchers from the University of Kiel have developed a method for creating a layer of magnetic nanoparticles on the surface of stem cells. Such cells can be injected into a vein and delivered to any place in the patient's body using magnetic fields.
13.04.2009When using sowing and growing mycobacterium cultures, it takes several weeks to isolate the causative agent of tuberculosis. The use of bacteriophages carrying the fluorescent protein gene reduces this time to several days.
23.03.2009The first conference "Investing in Immortality" was held in Moscow, organized by Forbes Russia with the support of the Centaura non-profit project.
05.12.2019Motor neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrate normal electrical activity and possess all the other properties of ordinary nerve cells of this type.
25.02.2009The hepatitis C virus does not integrate its genetic material into the chromosomes of the host cells, so theoretically it can be completely removed from the body if the infection of healthy cells is stopped.
06.02.2008In total, Luc Van Parijs submitted false data in five grant applications and ten scientific papers, seven of which were published. In addition, falsifications were revealed in unpublished works and presentations of the scientist.
05.02.2009The transition to a new domestic flu vaccine is planned to begin in 2019, and be completed in 2021 or 2022.
22.01.2019Most commentators found the experiment stupid and irresponsible, and the author was called an idiot.
20.12.2018The mutation of the Indy gene (I'm Not Dead Yet, "I'm not dead yet") increases the life expectancy of drosophila by half, from 35 to 70 days. It is necessary to understand how this mutation affects the level of metabolism of the fly; then it will be possible to create pharmacological drugs that will copy the effects of genetic changes.
26.01.2009The Government of Burkina Faso has allowed the release of genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild.
10.09.2018The first Korean genome was sequenced by its "owner", oncologist Kim Seng Jin and his colleagues from Gachen University of Medical Sciences with the support of the Korean Bioinformatics Center.
08.12.2008The novelty is designed to protect against all strains of influenza A virus, including swine, avian and human.
06.10.2017A 45-year-old woman is injecting herself with a bacterium that is 3.5 million years old.
