The mechanisms of the syndrome of Lowe

The OCRL1 gene mutation changes the intracellular transport in kidney cells by preventing the re-absorption of proteins that are then eliminated in the urine. A clear mechanism that damages the kidneys in Lowe syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects the eyes and brain to describe in the journal EMBO Journal is the team led [...]

A two-tier system in brain tumors

From a large-molecular genetic study on the cerebellum was seen that the second most common type of malignant brain tumor in children is the ependymoma. An international team of researchers has discovered that the second most common type of malignant brain tumor in children is the ependymoma. The discovery is part of a large-molecular genetic [...]

Communication between bacteria of different species

A study on the ‘olive scab’ showed that the disease state of a plant is maintained both by the pathogenic bacteria from innocuous. A team of researchers led by Vittorio Venturi of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Trieste found that harmless bacteria and pathogens are able to communicate and thus [...]

The memories are divided into packages

Our memories are divided into ‘packages’ lasting 125 milliseconds each, and a reminder when we pass from the brain to another rapidly closes and opens a package. According to Norwegian scientists led by May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience our brain creates maps of the places that view. Every [...]

Enzymes in food – Genetic Engineering without labeling

Natural enzymes as additives in bread, beer, wine and juice production are increasingly being manufactured from genetically modified microorganisms. People have used enzymes that occur naturally in microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and molds). This he does from corn bread and beer, cheese and milk from her wine from grapes. Reported is a “beer” production from germinated [...]
