Telomerase begins to reveal its secrets

American scientists have compiled a protein map (proteome) of human saliva, identifying more than a thousand proteins contained in the secret of the salivary glands. The results of the study can be used in the development of new, rapid and non-invasive tests for many dangerous diseases.

microRNA will help in the fight against lung cancer

Activation of genes that stimulate the development of neurons in other cells contributes to malignancy. By preventing the binding of beta-TRCP and REST molecules, it is possible to cure tumors of tissues whose cells originate from the same germ leaf – ectoderm as the nervous system.

"Jumping genes" of monkeys suggested a new way to treat HIV infection

An international team of scientists has identified a combination of genes that prevent infection of monkeys with retroviruses.

Folic acid improves sperm quality

One of the essential problems of logic elements based on ribozymes, enzymes or optical materials is the different nature of the incoming and outgoing signal, unlike electronic systems that use a common input and output signal (electron). American researchers have tried to work around this problem by constructing logic gates based on DNA.

Need a new antibiotic? Set the bacteria against each other!

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Florida have proposed a new method for creating antibiotics, which consists in "inciting" one type of bacteria against another.
