In humans, the brain and testicles have the most proteins in common. This was discovered by an international group of scientists, as writes in an article for the journal The Royal Society Open Biology. The authors note that previously there were “some signs of similarity” between the testes and the human brain, and they, […]

For the first time in history. Blind 40-year-old man partially restored his sight – helped by genetics
For the first time in the history of medicine, genetic engineering was used to restore partial vision in a blind person: by “correcting” the ganglion cells of the retina, American scientists made them photosensitive again. The research is published in the journal Nature. A 58-year-old man went blind at the age of 18 as […]
Scientists have checked the feces and mouths of bats in the south of the Russian Federation. Found “relatives” of SARS-CoV-2
Potential pathogens similar to the pandemic coronavirus are circulating among bats in the southern Krasnodar Territory of Russia near Ukraine. This is the conclusion reached by the scientists of the Center. Hamaleas in the Russian Federation by checking the feces and swabs from the oral cavity of the large (R. ferrumequinum) and small (R. hipposideros) […]
The genomes of the “Spanish” flu virus have been deciphered: evidence of its evolution has been found
A century later, an international team of scientists deciphered the genetic code of the Spanish flu virus that led to the pandemic. Samples for analysis were taken from the lung tissue of two German soldiers, 17 and 18 years old, who died on June 27, 1918 from the “Spanish flu” in Berlin, and a 17-year-old […]
Scientists Wrote A Genome On A Computer And Put It Into A Bacterium: It Began To Divide – Video
American microbiologists have created a primitive synthetic cell that grows normally and divides with a minimal set of genes. The Cell magazine writes about it. Scientists from the Venter Institute (JCVI) back in 2010 took the most low-organized and self-reproducing organism – mycoplasma, removed its DNA and instead “stuffed” a genetic code of 473 genes […]
