"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.

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.
