06.06.2014Probiotic bacteria with oxymagnetite nanoparticles on the outer surface have acquired ferromagnetic properties that can be used in MRI diagnostics, as well as in the treatment of cancer of the digestive organs.
16.05.2014Adding a pair of synthetic compounds to a standard set of nucleotides allows you to encode the synthesis of not twenty, but one hundred and seventy-two amino acids. The number of protein variants that can be synthesized with their help becomes simply astronomical.
15.05.2014Thanks to a combination of three genetic modifications and an improved immunosuppression protocol, researchers were able to achieve an unprecedented survival of pig hearts in baboons for almost 600 days.
12.05.2014Several American companies under the general leadership of the rich and famous Craig Venter will develop a technology for breeding genetically modified pigs whose organs are suitable for human transplantation.
08.05.2014For the first time, scientists were able to obtain a culture of living cells with six "letters" of DNA instead of four. Cells with a six-letter genetic code function in the same way as normal ones.
08.05.2014An open letter from the Society of Scientists to the Prime Minister in support of the development of genetic engineering in Russia was initiated by a group of biologists concerned about the campaign against GMOs. You can also put your signature.
25.04.2014A new gene therapy approach restores memory in a mouse model of early-stage Alzheimer's disease by activating Crtc1 protein synthesis.
25.04.2014The British Ministry of Environment, Food and Agriculture has approved a project to grow a genetically engineered crop to produce a synthetic form of fish oil.

01.04.2014Removal of the FAT10 immune system gene led to an increase in life expectancy and a decrease in the thickness of the fat layer in mice. Why this happened and how it affected the ability to fight infections is still unknown.
27.03.2014German scientists have developed several variants of a genetically modified measles virus that attack cancer cells without harming healthy tissues.
13.03.2014With the help of "zinc fingers" technology, researchers managed to make the T-lymphocytes of HIV-infected patients resistant to the virus.
11.03.2014For the first time, a variety of genetically modified rice was obtained, protected simultaneously from drought, salting of soils and lack of fertilizers.
04.03.2014Over the past 10 years, more than 1.5 thousand studies on the safety of GMOs have been published, and no conclusions have been made about their toxicity or any negative properties. Russian senators don't want to know.
28.02.2014With the help of a gene that regulates the cell cycle, it is possible to make the post-infarction heart muscle recover at the expense of real muscle cells, and not with the help of connective tissue.
21.02.2014CRISPR and other new technologies make it possible to edit specific DNA fragments with high accuracy, up to the replacement of one pair of nucleotide bases. In fact, they allow you to rewrite the human genome at will.
