Scientists from the Department of Structural Biology of the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry are engaged in the creation of targeted drugs that can treat specific forms of cancer. academicians M.M. Shemyakin and Yu.A. Ovchinnikov. New generation drugs are being developed in the course of studies of the structure, dynamics and functions of membrane proteins and peptides.

Russian geneticists have learned how to grow human vascular tissue from stem cells. And they do it better than anyone else on the planet so far.
14.04.2008microRNAs are necessary for procreation
microRNAs affect the ability of mice to reproduce offspring.
14.04.2008Synthetic peptoids instead of antibodies
Peptoids are synthetic analogues of fragments of amino acid sequences of natural proteins (peptides).
14.04.2008Bones 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.

The new drug can be used to reduce the side effects of radiation therapy in cancer patients, as well as serve as an emergency aid for people who have been exposed to general radiation.
11.04.2008Don't the nanos smell? And how do they affect nature?
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.
