Scientists of the Wisconsin-Madison University have identified a gene that appears to directly affect the daily sleep duration. These experimental studies could be crucial in understanding the processes of sleeping disorders. So far, this effect is found only in the lab investigation of mutant fruit flies, but the counterpart of this gene is also present [...]

Polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell artiritis are closely associated disorders of unknown cause. There is some assumption about the connection viruses infection and polymyalgia rheumatica, including the adenovirus, which causes respiratory infections; the human parvovirus B19, an infection that affects children; and the human parainfluenza virus. There is no laboratory investigations on this, but treatment [...]

What is stem cells? This are immature cells capable of regenerating and development in specialized cells of the organism. Biology experiment of German scientists (Neuherberg, 2010) found that stem cells are not identical. Two definite types of regenerating blood cells have been spotted in mice, muddying a simplistic aspect of stem cell categories. Knowing how [...]

Cellulite skin is one of the most usual good looks problems and its treatment is often the clinical trial results not based on a correct rationale nor included in acknowledged protocols. Causes cellulite occur under the influence of a numeral of biochemical and metabolic changes in the interstitial matrix (pH changes, free radicals raise, temperature [...]

Changes of nonspecific resistance induced by magnetic fields. Part 1. According to the V. Malygina and E. Grabovskaya, the predominant rat population are animals with average motor activity and low emotionality. It was found that in rats with an average level of motor activity exposure magnetic fields leads to a two-phase change of indices.
