Some researchers have found that the outer fabric of the brain that contains the protein beta amyloid misfolded can move and infect the brain. Abnormal protein deposits have been recognized as closely related to the genesis of neuro degenerative disease called Alzheimer’s disease. The research was supported by the ERA-NET NEURON (Network of European Funding [...]
Energy is essential, even in the realm of evolutionary inventions: the aliens would also need the mitochondria. Researchers in Germany and the United Kingdom presented a completely new theory for the evolution of complex life, suggesting that it depends on the mitochondria, the small power plants that are found in cells known as eukaryotes, which [...]
One study shows the existence of a genetic link between the predominantly manual, cerebral asymmetry and reading skills. The recent genetic mapping of a sample of children with dyslexia made it possible to clarify the relationship between the dominance of the Manual, or the tendency to use one hand rather than the other, and language [...]
According to a new study by scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States, a strong immune system can increase the lifespan of an animal but it leads to lower fertility. The findings, published in the journal Science, they explain why some individuals are more susceptible to infection than others. The strength of the [...]
Introducing nucleic acids into cells by nanoparticles: Researchers working on cancer, despite the many obstacles encountered in the course of time, studying gene therapy as an experimental treatment for use in combating diseases that lead to patient death. A research team composed of scientists, through the development of a nanoparticle capable of carrying, in a [...]
Nano particles to transport RNA in tumor cells and deactivate the gene RRM2 for RNA interference. Developing ideas of genetic engineering that won him four years ago, the Nobel for their creators, researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for the first time tested technique of inhibition of protein production that promises to [...]
