Ribosome at work

Electronic health card

It is unconstructive and insufficient to consider the size of the product as a criterion of belonging (or not belonging) to the scientific and technological discipline, as well as the method of assembling its constituent blocks. And speaking of nanotechnology, it is necessary to clarify every time what exactly they mean. At the same time, there cannot be one answer for all technological applications.

New method of genetic modification of stem cells: 100 times more effective

Less growth means longer life?

The PPARa receptor is found in many tissues, including the liver, heart and intestines. In response to the effects of a number of drugs, it activates certain genes. A similar reaction of the receptor is also observed when exposed to fatty acids and compounds with a similar structure.

microRNAs play an important role in the formation of the heart muscle

The Board of Directors of the Russian Venture Company approved the allocation of a billion rubles from the budget for the so-called "seed stage" of venture investment, when an idea turns into a clear business plan. The Ministry of Economic Development will announce the second competition for the selection of management companies on March 14 – 9 billion rubles will be allocated for it. The results will be announced in June 2008.

Roll, cage, big and small

Two types of microRNAs, miR-1 and miR-133, associated with the development of muscle tissue, not only stimulate the formation of heart muscle tissue, but also actively suppress genes whose functioning leads to the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into cells of other types, for example, neurons or osteocytes.

microRNA-203 – protection against skin cancer

An intermediary between unsaturated fatty acids and the genome has been identified

Many of the genes activated by unsaturated fatty acids are involved in the breakdown of these compounds for energy. Most likely, this mechanism protects the liver from the accumulation of unsaturated fatty acids.

Excess vitamin E may increase the risk of lung cancer

If prostate cancer does not give up, it is destroyed by blocking the Stat5 gene

Homozygous mutants of the second generation lived ten times longer than ordinary C.elegans, but they were sterile. Maybe it is possible to somehow compensate for the infertility associated with the age-1 gene and leave only a long life? A number of data points to the fact that it is impossible – at least in one action.

Salmonella is a tumor killer

You can fight HIV from the inside

Salmonella bacteria can be turned into micro-terminators that penetrate deep into malignant tumors, where traditional chemotherapy drugs cannot penetrate. Once at the destination, the bacteria begin to synthesize compounds that destroy tumor cells.
