Biodegradable microcapsules guide neuronal development by delivering nerve growth factor

Biodegradable microcapsules guide neuronal development by delivering nerve growth factor ANI | Updated: Feb 21, 2021 17:36 IST Moscow [Russia], February 21 (ANI): Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have demonstrated that nanoengineered biodegradable microcapsules can guide the development of hippocampal neurons in an in-vitro experiment. These microcapsules play a critical role in nerve growth factor, a peptide that is necessary for neuron growth. The findings of the study were published in the journal Pharmaceutics. Many neurodegenerative conditions that can lead to severe disorders are associated with depleted levels of growth factors in the brain - neuropeptides that help neurons grow, proliferate and survive. Some clinical studies of Alzheimer s and Parkinson s diseases have shown that delivering these growth factors to specific degenerating neurons can have a therapeutic effect.

Humble dung beetles may be ideal DNA detectors for animal surveys

Share DNA found inside the guts of dung beetles, such as the giant flattened dung beetle, could one day be used to infer a region’s biodiversity. Vincent Grafhorst/Minden Pictures Humble dung beetles may be ideal DNA detectors for animal surveys Feb. 19, 2021 , 3:00 PM Biologists wanting to identify the resident creatures of a location, be it nearby woods or a distant mountainside, could soon have new assistants to help them vacuum up a surrounding’s DNA: dung beetles. The guts of these unfussy eaters contain species-identifying mammalian DNA, a study has found, and could provide an easy, low-tech way to catalog regional biodiversity.
