17.04.2008A method of diabetes treatment has been registered in Russia by transplanting porcine beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin. Until now, therapeutic techniques using animal tissues have not been registered in the world.
17.12.2010DDB2 (DNA damage-binding protein 2, "DNA damage-binding protein") is not only involved in DNA repair, but, as it turned out, contributes to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in cells, which leads to their premature aging.
15.06.2010A point mutation in the COMT gene slows down the age-related decline of thinking abilities. Elderly people with a variant of the gene, in which one of the amino acids in the corresponding enzyme is replaced with methionine by valine, performed tests 33-45% better than the owners of the "methionine" variant.
04.05.2010When the patient swallows the capsule, a signal is received on the doctor's phone or laptop. The development will avoid many situations when patients forget or intentionally refuse to take medications.
02.04.2010One of the causes of Alzheimer's disease is a calcium-dependent violation of signal transmission between nerve cells caused by the accumulation of beta-amyloid in astrocytes – the support cells of the cerebral cortex.
15.02.2010Scientists are confident that if they manage to understand the mechanism of action of vitamin C, which has long been on the list of substances that slow down cell aging, it will be a serious step forward in the field of regenerative medicine.
30.12.2009Researchers at Decode Genetics have found mutations in five genes that exhibit opposite properties, depending on whether an active copy of this gene was obtained from the mother or father.
17.12.2009Existing vaccines are useless in the case of the papilloma virus already present in the body, and doctors recommend vaccinating girls before the onset of sexual activity. Perhaps a new therapeutic vaccine will be a salvation for older women.
