Moss RNA editing systems work in human cells
(ORDO NEWS) — Specific RNA sequence editing systems called PPR65 and PPR56 have been transferred from moss mitochondria to human cells. In a completely new environment, both turned out to be efficient, retained the accuracy of editing, and modified not only the target proteins, but also a number of others. All living cells and “not quite alive” viruses work on the basis of a common principle – the so-called central…

Human cells were first grown on the skeleton of an anthropomorphic robot
(ORDO NEWS) — The robotic joint, which can mimic the natural movement of the human shoulder, has helped create payloads for the cartilage that grows on it. Tissue engineering technologies are only developing, scientists and physicians are still looking for ways to grow complex three-dimensional structures from living cells in order to someday obtain new organs for transplantation. So far, such experimental procedures make it possible to obtain from the…

Nature of addiction was first studied on human cells
(ORDO NEWS) — Scientists have been able to demonstrate the loss of sensitivity of dopamine receptors in response to long-term exposure to dopamine. This study was the first in which such experiments were carried out on human cells. Researchers at North Carolina State University (USA) have demonstrated that human stem cell-derived neuron-like cells can serve as a model for studying addiction-related changes in the nervous system. The new work sheds…
