Scientists have changed DNA by making a female from a male

It's no secret that the development of science is proceeding at a rapid pace. However, we still do not know much about our own organism. For example, from school we know that a pair of X chromosomes in the genome means that a girl will be born, and the presence of X and Y chromosomes indicates the birth of a boy. And do we know what processes control all this?

Parents will have the opportunity to adjust the appearance of future children

Known to many DNA editor CRISPR is able to prevent many diseases before the birth of a person. But is it possible to apply this technology not to get rid of diseases, but for other purposes - for example, to change external data? Probably, scientists will be able to provide such a "service" in the near future.

Scientists are sure: an antibiotic can affect the virus

Everyone knows that an antibiotic does not have antiviral activity. The antibiotic acts on the cell - whether it's a bacterium, a fungus or a tumor structure - and causes it to violate molecular processes. As a result, the cell dies.

A special sensor on the teeth will allow to establish control over the body

A miniature sensor, "glued" to the tooth, will be able to store information about the calorie content, the amount of salt and sugar in the diet, about the amount of alcohol consumed by man. A similar innovation was created by a working group representing the Division of Biomedicine and Engineering from Tufts University.

Admission of a new drug will delay the aging

It has long been proven that moderation in the caloric content of the diet helps to slow down the development of age processes. However, specialists do not recommend starvation for slowing aging, this may pose a danger to human health.

A new drug created a robot

It's no secret that the process of creating and further testing new drugs is always very time-consuming and time-consuming. However, modern science does not stand still: now this question is solved not only by pharmacologists, but also by robots.
