Synthetic peptoids instead of antibodies

Peptoids are synthetic analogues of fragments of amino acid sequences of natural proteins (peptides).

"Slyunomika": new diagnostic possibilities for the composition of saliva

Bones will tell you how soon a person will grow old

After screening 300,000 synthetic peptoids, scientists selected five compounds with the properties of therapeutic antibodies used to treat cancer. One of them, which binds most strongly to the receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor-2, blocked the growth of human tumors in an experimental mouse model.

Do you want to lose weight? It's better not to ask how!

The new concept presented at the 37th Annual Congress of the American Dental Research Association - Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB) – fully meets these three conditions and is a virtual diagnostic atlas of saliva.

The composition of the diet changes the expression of the gene that regulates carbohydrate metabolism

Don't the nanos smell? And how do they affect nature?

In 2003, neurophysiologists from the Allen Institute have already presented to the world a three-dimensional genetic atlas of the mouse brain. There are not many more genes in the human brain than in the mouse, but the human brain itself is 2000 times larger than the mouse brain. Therefore, scanning the activity of genes in all its areas is an incredibly ambitious task.

Alligator blood is better than any antibiotics

The gene, called tobi, encodes the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which converts stored glycogen into glucose. The consumption of a large amount of proteins increases, and carbohydrates – suppresses the activity of this gene.
