Scientists have found a new way to fight obesity

A new look for brown "good" fat cells, is stored by the heat in the body, and the energy dissipated, the scientists were able to find a new way to combat obesity, Reuters reported. Scientists at the Cancer Institute in Boston, said that they rotate in a position to immature muscle cells into brown adipocytes, were based on the assumption that. Inbred brown muscle than white fat cells The main function of the large white fat cells in order to preserve the nutrients. They almost all fat adults, and because of them, people are suffering from obesity. In brown or white, or if they originally programmed for each of these species: Scientists have long for an answer to the question of whether the cells formed adipose tissue develop in different directions looking for. Finally, experts were able to get the desired result. Discovery explains a number of features that the brown fat cells differ from white, ie their ability to the energy that is absolutely necessary for muscle cells to work around them to use. Therefore, the scientists hope to use the potential of brown fat cells to burn fat and thereby overcome obesity. The results of the study suggests the fact that the human body "dormant" brown fat cells that can by a specific order are stimulated to work. It is believed that adults reserve brown adipose tissue is low, but according to the authors of the study, the new technique could change the view.

Created the world's first artificial erythrocytes

The world's first scientists were able to create an artificial red blood cells. Got their scientists from the University of Illinois in the laboratory with a special feeding and stem cells. Specialists say that artificial blood has a great advantage, since it has no pathogenic organisms, and for this reason it is impossible transfusion infected with HIV or hepatitis. The main achievement of the scientists is the fact that they could make lost able to make red blood cells during the growth of the core of the stem cells. This natural process is never reproduced in the laboratory. According to many experts - that is impossible. But scientists at the University of Illinois could prove that it works, and artificial red blood cells to deliver oxygen is no less effective than natural red blood cells in human blood. But there is a dearth of new discoveries. It lies in the fact that the group received blood stem cells of genes that means early in the process, which they are not all transplanted patients funds used is determined. The researchers hope that new acquisition increases the chances of subsequent universal blood that can be transfused to each patient.

Found a marker that shows how aggressive cancer occur

British scientists say they have treated a marker for an aggressive form of cancer with greater intensity found BBC reported. To better resist disease, it is necessary to use methods of the marker search tests, experts say. Scientists have shown a marker of how much you may experience the disease has been found by this method has been called Lamin test. Some patients in the treatment necessary. To sessions of chemotherapy in addition to the standard operation, in order to increase their chances of survival, according to scientists from the University of Nesci This test will help to identify those patients. The work was published in the journal PLoS ONE. Scientists are trying to promote Lamin-test for use in healthcare, because colorectal cancer is the third after the death from cancer in the UK. Diagnosed annually with the disease are 36 thousand people. In most cases of colon cancer cases occur in the elderly. Chemotherapy is rarely used in the treatment, as it can greatly harm to the patient, which is older and cause poor health. However, in the case of the most aggressive cancers, chemotherapy can save a life. The researchers conducted a study among 700 patients with cancer of the bowel. Study of disease and the general condition of the participants. It has been established that go in people who should test lamin protein markers found in stem cells in an aggressive form of the disease, scientists say.
