Scientists identify genes responsible for allowing Candida fungus to survive treatment

It is estimated that 80% of women will suffer from vaginal candidiasis at least once in their lives. In addition to superficial infections, which can be oral or vaginal and do not usually have a serious prognosis, fungi of the Candida genus can cause systemic diseases in immunocompromised individuals and these are fatal in 40% of cases.

Scientists create first artificial scaffolds that can support the growth of plants cells

As a baby seedling emerges from the depths of the soil, it faces a challenge: gravity's downward push. To succeed, the plant must sense the force, then push upward with an even greater force. Visible growth is proof that the seedling has won against the force of gravity.

Mitochondrial inner membrane fusion protein acts as a molecular chaperone

Cells contain numerous functional “micro-organs” known as organelles. Mitochondria, the “power plant” of the cell, are the energy-producing organelles.

Stem cell therapy for heart disease enhanced with protein from fetal heart

The human heart, upon aging, slowly loses its capability to repair itself after injury. Damage caused by injuries like heart attack and cardiac ischemia—linked to decreased oxygen levels in the heart—can result in below normal capacity of heart functioning, making it tough for the patients to carry out daily activities.

Study uses artificial evolution to search DNA molecules for light producing deoxyribozymes

Once thought to function primarily as a storage molecule for genetic information, it is now known that DNA can also catalyze chemical reactions. Although such DNA enzymes (deoxyribozymes) have not been identified in nature, they can be isolated in the lab using powerful methods of artificial evolution.

Research opens new therapeutic perspectives for treatment of skin fibrosis

Collagen, the main component of the skin's extracellular matrix, can cause a pathological condition if it is in excess. Applying an electric field to the skin affects collagen pathways, temporarily reducing collagen production and increasing its degradation.
