Study finds that natural killer cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors are equally effective and bring different advantages with less toxicity

Molecular biologists from the Moscow state University and the SMRC of cardiology has created a gene therapy that restores the damaged areas of the heart after a heart attack, including two «the gene of life». The first results of her test rats were presented in the journal PLoS One.

Want to be a supercentenarian? The chances of reaching the ripe old age of 110 are within reach – if you survive the perilous 90s and make it to 105 when death rates level out, according to a study of extremely old Italians led by UC Berkeley and Sapienza University of Rome.

Personalized and precision medicine (APM) is becoming the main direction of development of medical science and practice. Its main task is to determine which drugs will be effective for the patient, given its genetic characteristics and individual forms of the disease, and also for his immediate family. Over time, personalized medicine using biomarkers will be a critical part of preventive and curative work of doctors-oncologists and will help to reduce the risk of illness for people from risk groups.

Intelligent nanomaterials bridge the conventional concepts of "molecule" and "nano" in the bioimaging field.

Discovery — centered on a gene called CD36 — illuminates a process tied to the aging of cells and organisms

Thanks to the research of magnetic levitation in the conditions of microgravity, a new technology for 3D printing of biological tissues was developed. In the future, this technology will help to create radiation-sensitive biological constructs and repair damaged tissues and human organs.
