Insecticides prevented Drosophila from sleeping and remembering odors

The most popular insecticides in agriculture (neonicotinoids) have caused Drosophila sleep, circadian rhythm and memory disorders, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Neonicotinoids acted on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in fly brain neurons and interfered with normal signal transduction. Most likely, these insecticides pose such a threat not only to insect pests,

Exercise protected the muscles from inflammatory dystrophy

Scientists have confirmed that exercise prevents muscle loss, muscle weakness and dysfunction caused by chronic inflammation. For example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, influenza, or a cytokine storm during covid. The study also proved that the 3D model of muscle tissue developed by scientists can be used in the future to study inflammatory muscle

Bacteria have been taught to synthesize an important alkene

Researchers in the UK have taught E. coli to produce hepta-1,3,5-triene, a compound used in the chemical industry. The authors, published in ACS Synthetic Biology, hope that their proposed metabolic pathway will be an environmentally friendly alternative to obtaining this substance from fossil fuels. Polyunsaturated alkenes are used in the production of pharmaceuticals and the

Machine learning has helped generate more vector variants for gene therapy

American scientists have used machine learning techniques to create many variants of the adeno-associated virus, which is often used as a delivery agent in gene therapy. The models used during the work were viable particles with a large number of mutations. The authors of the paper published in Nature Biotechnology hope that the method developed
