There will be a lot of stem cells
For the first time in almost 10 years, US scientists will receive 13 new lines of human embryonic stem cells for government-funded research. Another 96 lines are under consideration.
03.12.2009Bioterrorists are coming!
To prevent the theoretical threat of bioterrorists creating dangerous viruses, two large biotech companies regulated their activities with safety rules.
23.11.2009Anti-anti-oncogene: Trim24 vs p53
One of the main functions of the p53 protein is to counteract the replication of potentially oncogenic cells. Trim24 attaches a "black label" to it – the ubiquitin protein, and p53 is destroyed under the influence of specialized protein complexes – proteasomes.

Gemabank considers Ukraine a promising direction and, in addition to providing cord blood storage services, is going to actively cooperate with leading Ukrainian transplantologists to improve the quality of transplants.
04.06.2009The cow genome has been sequenced
The first paper describes the results of work on reading the complete genome of a cow of the famous Hereford breed selected for sequencing. In the second – the results of a side project that cost a hundred times less – comparison of the genome of almost 500 cows of 19 different breeds for 37740 single-nucleotide polymorphisms ("snips").
24.04.2009The Government has decided to develop the concept of a law on the use of stem cells
The Government Commission on High Technologies and Innovations made decisions: on the development of the concept of the law on the use of biomedical technologies in medical practice; on the creation of a research center in the structure of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation; on the creation of an Interdepartmental Council for the Development of the industry of High Biomedical Technologies.
01.04.2009Reading is the best treatment. In any case, from stress
Neurophysiologists from the University of Sussex compared which activity is most effective in relieving stress. It turned out that neither music, nor walking, nor video games relaxed the subjects participating in the study as much as ordinary book reading. People who experienced severe stress relaxed and got out of stress the fastest by immersing themselves in reading.
