In the journal Biology Letters, researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology and Colorado State University have reported the discovery of the ol...

The development of Perm Polytechnic University will help to grow leather

2022-11-18 16:06 The human body is a complex system of a large number of cells that coordinate their vital activity within a single system. After receiving various deep, open injuries, a person may lack areas of such a vital organ as the skin. Scientists of Perm Polytechnic University have developed a mathematical model that is designed for growing skin. Specialists from the field of tissue engineering will be able to use t...

Chemists of St. Petersburg State University explained the relationship between the composition and properties of nanomaterials for innovative medicine

2022-10-28 19:56 Scientists of St. Petersburg State University have established patterns of changing the shape and size of nanoparticles used in theranostics (an innovative field of medicine) by adding various lanthanides to the structure. The use of particles of a certain shape and size is important when conducting anti-cancer therapy or MRI diagnostics, where it is necessary to use the smallest particles, since they penet...

390 years since the birth of Anthony van Leeuwenhoek

Van Leeuwenhoek is best known for his pioneering work in microscopy and for his contributions toward...

Scientists have found the cause of chronic kidney disease in the elderly

2022-10-14 19:10 MSU scientists and colleagues have established for the first time that the number of stem cells in the kidneys decreases with age. At the same time, aging stem cells gradually lose their ability to divide, as well as their resistance to damaging factors. This can lead to the deterioration of kidney function and an increased risk of developing chronic diseases in the elderly. There are about a hundred trill...
