Cow's milk insulin

31.03.2024

The problem of insulin availability for patients with diabetes is one of the most acute in modern medicine. Lack of insulin can lead to serious complications and threaten the lives of people suffering from this disease. However, recent scientific research has led to a potentially revolutionary discovery - a way to produce human insulin from cow's milk.

Scientists from the University of Illinois and the University of Sao Paulo have developed an innovative method for producing human insulin that could have a significant impact on the treatment of diabetes. They used genetic engineering to create transgenic cows capable of producing insulin.

By injecting human DNA into a cow's body, scientists ensured that she gave birth to a calf capable of producing human insulin. This discovery provides new prospects for mass production of insulin using transgenic animals.

Further research is planned on cloning such cows. A team of scientists believes that transgenic cows could be the key to solving the problem of access to insulin for large numbers of diabetic patients around the world.

The discovery of a new method for producing insulin from cow's milk opens up new possibilities in the treatment of diabetes and may be a significant step towards solving the problem of availability of this important drug. The prospect of using transgenic cows to mass produce insulin offers hope for a more affordable and effective treatment for millions of people around the world.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Werewolf Robot Goes to Titan 01.10.2019

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration is developing a multifunctional robot that will be sent to Jupiter's moon Titan for research.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab talked about the development process of the latest Shapeshirter werewolf robot. It will consist of several robots that will be able to ride on the surface of Titan, swim in methane and ethane lakes, soar over hills and, if necessary, assemble into one.

Scientists specify that it is the presence of lakes of methane and ethane on Jupiter’s satellite that is of particular interest, since a similar phenomenon has not been recorded on other planets or satellites, and on Earth they are found only in a gaseous state.

NASA is conducting the first tests of the robot, despite the fact that development is still at an early stage.

Scientists are sure that the new generation of mechanical assistant will become a universal soldier and will help to thoroughly study Titan with all its features.

The launch is scheduled for mid-2020.

US University of Alabama scientist Joseph Agnew figured out how to create a superluminal engine. With the help of Alcubierre's bubble, a spacecraft will be able to develop FTL without violating the principle of causality.

This concept represents the process of compressing the space in front of the ship and expanding the space behind it. In order to test the theory in practice, as the scientist notes, it is necessary to create gravitational waves in the laboratory. Research of this kind will lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of gravity. Perhaps there will even be loopholes for the development of a FTL engine.
