The vaccine from baker's yeast is effective against a number of fungal infectious diseases, including aspergillosis and coccidioidosis.

Researchers have identified a gene on which the quality of cell-cell contacts in the conduction system of the heart depends. Disturbances in his work caused mismatch and poor distribution of the neuromuscular signal in the cardiac muscle.

Biologists have discovered a protein that breaks off the molecular signals of bitterness. If there is no this protein in the taste cells, then animals and man can not get rid of the unpleasant aftertaste.

Recently, scientists from the University of Kyoto (Kyoto University) have found a way to reprogram the mouse embryonic stem cells into spermatozoon precursor cells and, using the resulting sperm, get normal mice. Their research can eventually lead to the development of fundamentally new methods of treating male infertility.
