10.07.2009The most accurate of the biomarkers was leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein, LRG). According to researchers, the concentration of this protein in the urine increases in proportion to the severity of appendicitis.
24.06.2009Scientists tracked the movement of a cancer cell containing carbon nanotubes in the vessels of an animal, through the circulatory, lymphatic systems and tissues using a Raman spectrometer, and then destroyed it with a laser beam.
26.05.2009In response to damage to the vessel wall, smooth muscle cells move from a state of "resting phenotype", in which they are only able to contract, to a state of "synthesis phenotype", when they begin to proliferate. The FHL2 protein synthesized by heart cells suppresses the activity of genes necessary for the preservation of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels in a state of "rest".
14.05.2009To create artificial tendons, Bosworth twisted a biodegradable nanofiber in a special way, which can be implanted into the human body. The resulting "tissue" is similar in structure to the natural one and can be transplanted to the site of the rupture. It will promote fusion, and the artificial polymer replacement will gradually disappear, and its own connective tissue will form in its place.
27.04.2009"When combining embryonic and mesenchymal stem cells that are able to differentiate into cells of several types, it is possible to probably get other organs,– says Mariko Yamaki. "But first I want to try to grow hair using human embryonic stem cells."
21.04.2009According to the doctors of the American clinic who performed the IVF procedure, 22 years between the time of delivery of a sperm sample in 1986 and fertilization in 2008 is a world record.
15.04.2009The BioGenius PLUS company plans to conduct research in the field of biotechnology in the Dubna SEZ, develop original biotechnological solutions and technologies.
13.04.2009In the annual top 10 discoveries that influenced the development of science, Science magazine called the creation of coronavirus vaccines a major breakthrough.
18.12.2020A doctor supervising several prosthesis carriers at once can remotely monitor the condition of the prosthesis and upload firmware into it.
11.10.2019Radioactive lead Pb-212 will help fight neuroendocrine tumors and their metastases in the bone.
08.07.2019The trip will be the first step towards the implementation of the cooperation program for 2009 within the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between RUSNANO and the Ministry of Employment and Economy of Finland.
10.02.2009American scientists have found a switch that triggers the sleep mechanism. To their surprise, it's not the nerve cells that send us to sleep.
03.02.2009The strains of measles virus used in vaccines in an experiment on mice effectively infected and destroyed cells of inoperable prostate tumors. In the near future, the researchers plan to move on to testing the method on humans.
26.01.2009Hormone therapy during menopause reduces the risk of bowel cancer.
11.01.2009The documents were signed by Anatoly Chubais, CEO of RUSNANO, Yuri Osipov, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Viktor Sadovnichy, Rector of Moscow State University.
05.12.2008Two genes have been identified that are involved in the performing arts.
01.12.2008Scientists have proven that stem cell therapy is an effective remedy for aging and has no side effects.
25.10.2017The electrode implanted in the speech center was connected to a sound synthesizer through a computer converter. Thanks to this, the patient was able to clearly pronounce three vowel sounds. The researchers plan to achieve the utterance of individual words, and in the future, whole phrases.
