Phraseologism: Where are you now, who is kissing your fingers?

Meaning: The memory of a beloved woman, still exciting and close.

Origin: From the song "Purple Negro" (published 1911) by the poet and performer of his own songs Alexander Nikolayevich Vertinsky (1889-1957): "Where are you now, who kisses your fingers? // Where did your Chinese Li go? // You seem to have loved Portuguese, // Or maybe you left with the Malay?"

Random phraseology:

Volyapyuk.

Meaning:

Unintelligible, poor, illiterate speech with gross distortions of the norms and rules of the language, as well as with ridiculous word formation, elements of jargon, etc.

Origin:

An artificial language developed in the late 70s. 1831th century German pastor from Baden, Johann Martin Schleyer (1912-1878), in order to "facilitate international communication." The first edition of Volyapyuk's grammar compiled by him was published in 1881, and starting from XNUMX, magazines began to appear on it, which were distributed throughout Europe. But by the beginning of the XNUMXth century the idea of introducing a new language is losing its former popularity, and the number of its experts is falling sharply.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Mice bred with doubled telomeres and live longer 08.06.2016

Telomere shortening is one of the causes of aging and cell death. However, scientists managed to get living organisms with telomeres twice as long as usual - and for this they did not even have to resort to genetic engineering.

Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes that protect the chromosomes from harmful influences. Each time a cell divides, telomeres lose their length, and when they are completely depleted, apoptosis is triggered - the self-destruction of the cell. Due to the depletion of telomeres, the cells of the human body are capable of 50x52 divisions, after which they die (the Hayflick limit).

As soon as scientists discovered the link between telomeres and aging, the search began for ways to lengthen telomeres or prevent them from shortening. We recently wrote about a way to increase telomeres using genetically modified RNA, and now scientists have found a way to do without interfering with the genome.

In 2011, a study was published showing that ultra-long telomeres sometimes spontaneously appear in laboratory cultures of embryonic stem cells. This happens as a result of the work of the enzyme - telomerase.

A recent experiment by American scientists confirms that stem cells with extended telomeres can be used to grow tissues, organs, and even organisms that will also have extended telomeres. In mice grown from stem cells with telomeres twice as long as normal, differentiated cells of many tissues also had long telomeres. Over time, their telomeres shortened, but this happened at a normal rate. Some frequently renewed cells, such as blood, in animals bred in this way had the ability to recover quickly.

While the question of whether lengthening telomeres can prolong life remains unanswered, but work is already underway to create a generation of mice with twice the natural telomeres in all cells of the body. These mice will answer many questions about aging and death.
