29.01.2010In carriers of two copies of the "longevity gene", memory deteriorated less quickly, and the risk of developing senile dementia was reduced. The risk of Alzheimer's disease, for example, was as much as 70% lower.

01.10.2009An international group of scientists has determined that a specific set of genes is not responsible for the appearance of a "beer belly", but a specific set of genes.
07.07.2009Usually, follicular lymphoma can be suppressed with chemotherapy, but after a year, relapses are characteristic of this type of cancer. Patients who received an immunostimulator and a foreign protein with their own marker lived without relapses for 44 months. This is a very significant achievement, since previously with follicular lymphoma it was not possible to increase either the duration of the relapse-free period or the survival rate.
01.06.2009The medical company Theranos announced the completion of the work. At the same time, large investors will not be able to return the invested money.
11.09.2018One of the variants of the gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of a protein involved in regulating the interaction of nerve cells, significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Since this gene is located on the X chromosome, women are at increased risk.
