Cuba has a new disease diagnosis system Cuba has a new disease diagnosis system Havana, Mar 11 (Prensa Latina) The Havana-based Immunoessay Research Center informed that Cuba has a new Ultra Micro Analytical System, which allows detecting several diseases early, among them Covid-19, local press reported on Thursday. This technology can support the follow-up of the evolutionary cases as of the fifth day after the first PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is made in patients infected with the ...

Cubas Nasalferon provides optimal results to fight Covid-19 Cubas Nasalferon provides optimal results to fight Covid-19 Havana, Mar 10 (Prensa Latina) Cubans who received Nasalferon drug in February (99.4 percent of 100,000) have shown optimal results to fight Covid-19. With these data, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel proposed to make more use of this recombinant human IFN-alpha-2b-formulation for nasal administration to try to cut transmission, while vaccines are being completed. During t...

ADVERTISEMENT Genetic engineering Wheat and barley, when subjected to heat and drought, reduced grain size and expression of genes for starch production. “Transgenic approaches have also been shown to improve drought tolerance under controlled environmental conditions,” wrote Kathleen Hefferon, plant genetics researcher at Cornell University. These approaches include over-expressed DREB (dehydration responsive element binding) genes that can boost survival under these conditions. However, ...

Using genetic engineering, researchers at UT Southwestern and Indiana University have reprogrammed scar-forming cells in mouse spinal cords to create new nerve cells, spurring recovery after spinal cord injury.
