13d ago6:15

6:15

Surprising facts have been discovered about Klebsiella pneumoniae: its cytoplasm contains a seemingly useless reverse transcriptase enzyme and equally useless tiny pieces of RNA, and these useless structures suddenly begin to interact in the event of a viral attack on the bacterium. As a result of their interaction, the bacterium synthesizes a gene…

Laboraverum News, 2024-06-12: New findings about why autism is so much more common in men than women 5:21

16d ago5:21

5:21

We don't know why mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or autism spectrum disorder are so much more common in men than in women, but new research suggests this may be due to significantly greater variability in the way RNA is synthesised on genes in women's brains. The researchers analysed 2,160 brain samples from patients with …

23d ago3:09

3:09

Contraceptive options for men are limited to condoms and coitus interruptus, which reduce pleasure, and vasectomy, which permanently sterilises the man. A non-hormonal inhibitor of a serine/threonine-protein kinase 33 (STK33) has just been shown to cause reversible male infertility without noticeable toxicity. At this stage it has only been tested …

31:46

In the autumn of 1686, Paris was full of rumours. It was said that at dawn, corpses were discovered in cemeteries, again and again. Not one or two, but already seventy five! With their anuses pierced with a knife! There were also other rumours - that le Roi Soleil, our Sun King, was seriously ill, that an endless stream of doctors and healers tried…

The cyanobacterium UCYN-A lives inside single-celled algae as an endosymbiont. The researchers discovered that the cyanobacterium now imports from the host cell not only nutrients, which is typical for symbionts, but also unchanged proteins to build its own body, including proteins essential for biosynthesis, growth, and division. An isolated cyano…

Laboraverum News, 2024-05-01: we have cells that, even after their own death, continue to kill invaders. How? 4:07

2M ago4:07

4:07

The life of neutrophils, the most common white blood cells, is measured in hours. They fight against attackers that invade our body and then die, but they continue to fight after death. In the process of their death, neutrophils can cause their DNA to unwind. The pores of their nuclei open and strands of DNA leave the nuclei. These threads shoot ou…

15:11

Researchers have demonstrated that myelin, a key element of our nerve fibres, can be a deformation caused by a virus that infected some jawed fish 360 million years ago, and thus who we are, including to some extent our intelligence, originates from that infection.By Eduard Kanalosh

33:23

The Age of Exploration gave birth to truly great hopes in Europe. Each ship returning from distant worlds brought something new, unheard of, unseen. In medicine, hopes were about new medicines, new methods, new knowledge. In 1683, the Dutch physician Willem ten Rhijne published a book about what he had learned in Japan, a country unknown to most Eu…

Year 1545: how four frostbitten noses helped medical science move away from the writings of antiquity 25:11

4M ago25:11

25:11

It was in this year that the development of modern medical science began. No exaggeration. 1545 was the first year. In the medical world of that time, where everything began and ended with the works of ancient authors, barber-surgeon Ambrois Paré proposed three innovative ideas: testing everything through experience, learning through comparison, an…

21:54

Today we are investigating the mysterious death of 78 people. This happened about 5000 years ago, in 2900 BC. In the summer of 2018, archaeologists discovered a mass grave in a prehistoric passage tomb near Falbügden in western Sweden. All those buried died at the same time. There were no visible damages to the bones, not a single scratch. Toxicolo…

Researchers bioengineered male mice to produce a special nucleoprotein “sleeve” that envelopes one of two X chromosomes in women but is absent in men. These experimental animals developed autoimmune reactions, including the appearance of autoimmune antibodies, greater ease of attack by immune cells, and associated tissue damage. If confirmed, it wo…

How would you feel if you met a dinosaur in your local city park? Not a vision or an imitation, but a real living dinosaur? This is exactly the feeling that scientists experienced when examining influenza patients in 1977. What had died out many years ago suddenly appeared before them, alive, active, and dangerous… And a year later, a British profe…

31:06

The Middle Ages were a time of dark superstitions, famine, endless wars, devastating epidemics, witch hunts and the absolute power of men over women. At the same time, we know about women who ruled countries, led armies and changed the course of history. In other words, there were exceptions to the general rule. However, if there was one area of me…
