Today, however, the fruit fly is common [...]
Studying a rare inherited form of Alzheimer’s researchers have clarified the basis of non-communication between neurons that leads to memory loss and mental deterioration. New light on the biological causes of cognitive decline which can be observed in Alzheimer’s disease: an animal model for studying the rare inherited form, the researchers led by Francesco Cecconi [...]
Even one of the neurotransmitter molecule is able to respond to the receptors. The analysis of the electrical stimulus will lead to repercussions in the medical field on a number of diseases. The Department of Neuroscience and neurotechnologies Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is the author of the study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, [...]
The search for funding research in biotechnology and patents that make owners of private actors in DNA, including human. The international scientific community is in the midst of a height of debate about gene patents. The advance of science is constantly faced with the economic needs of large business groups, which, moreover, are the source [...]
Biological catalysts are responsible for a variety of biochemical reactions, are present in animal and plant metabolic processes. Enzymes or biological catalysts are proteins responsible for a variety of biological responses, each day most interest due to many different applications in daily life, the enzymes are present on a daily basis, from laundry detergent to [...]
The use of bio-insecticides like Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria is a major advance in terms of harmful pest control is concerned. For decades they have been using various types of pesticides to control insects that are harmful to both humans and crops. However, despite its initial effectiveness were several problems with the passage of time. First, [...]
Thanks to some Scottish researchers was created by stem cells from amniotic fluid, the first artificial kidney that will hopefully grow independently after his transplant. At the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) was created for the first time an artificial kidney using stem cells taken from human amniotic fluid. Jamie Davies, the project leader, explained that [...]
