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 [...]
A new anti-cancer gene
A young Italian team discovered the anti-tumor activity of the mutated gene MTND1 able to block the tumor blood vessels of tumors. Thanks to a study funded by AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research), a team of young Italian University of Bologna was able to find a gene that can block tumor growth. The mutant [...]
The origin of remember mature over the years
The ability to remember the origin of memories is a long process that develops during adolescence, but only when we become mature adults. Researchers in Germany have discovered that children develop the ability to remember past events and the origin of these memories in childhood and adolescence. Presented in the journal child development, the results [...]
Physicists try to prove the existence of parallel universes
For the first time you try to prove with empirical observations, the existence of one type of parallel universes predicted by modern physics. For some time scientists take seriously the possibility that our universe is just one of many possible realities. In fact, most modern theories of physics predict that there could be infinite possible [...]
The cellular molecular motors save energy
Discovery of the mechanism by which cell car engines inhibit its operation to save energy. Molecular motors, in most cell types, work to carry an internal load, as the organelles associated with energy production and transport of nutrients, including the entire cell. We have now discovered how these molecular motors fall into a way of [...]
Regenerative medicine research through animal models
The potential benefits of regenerative medicine is unthinkable, scientists look for genes involved through the zebrafish or axolotl. Nobody would say that this nondescript amphibian could attract attention, and yet the Mexican axolotl, The mythic axolotl protagonist of a story by Cortazar, who was also in the spotlight of U.S. Army is a prime example [...]
