Rapid test for early diagnosis of bladder cancer has been developed

Under the leadership of an employee of the Department of Chemistry of Natural Compounds, Faculty of Chemistry, Moscow State University and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a team of scientists from France, Bangladesh, Brazil, Italy, Portugal and Russia announced the development of a new PCR assay for detecting bladder cancer. The work was published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences and noted by the International Society of Clinical Urology.

The new method makes it possible to quickly and reliably determine the presence of bladder cancer markers in urine. The development is a simple diagnostic urine analysis and differs from the standard diagnostic method in its high sensitivity and non-invasiveness. The test can be used to monitor the progress and recurrence of bladder cancer, and even detect its presence before clinical symptoms appear.]]> http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/m9t99io0c1-msu-scientists-have-improved-simulators http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/m9t99io0c1-msu-scientists-have-improved-simulators?amp=true Mon, 01 Feb 2021 12:28:00 +0300 Simon Einstein Science

MSU scientists have improved simulators for cosmonauts using VR technologies

Scientists from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in cooperation with specialists from the Yu.A. Gagarin cosmonaut training center improved methods for controlling aerospace simulators, including algorithms for controlling a centrifuge and visualization systems based on modern VR systems. The experimental results are used in student workshops and in the development of the world-class Scientific Center "Supersonic". They will make flying safer, as well as significantly reduce costs and risks in relation to flight training.]]> http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/25crixyy21-msu-biologists-have-learned-to-distingui http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/25crixyy21-msu-biologists-have-learned-to-distingui?amp=true Wed, 03 Feb 2021 12:28:00 +0300 Gregory Willson Science

MSU biologists have learned to distinguish between fossil tubes of phoronids and annelids

Biologists from Moscow State University have learned to distinguish between fossil tubes of phoronids and annelids. The research is presented in the journal Zoology and supported by the Russian Science Foundation, and its results will allow the identification of phoronid tubes in paleontological remains and easily distinguish them from the tubes of annelids.

When researching the diversity of benthic marine animals, pipes are often retrieved objects. They are often empty, which makes it difficult to identify their "owners". Usually such tubes are described as tubes of annelids, which gives rise in hydrobiology to an erroneous opinion about the high density of their settlements in a certain water area. In fact, these tubes often belong to the phoronids, and there are now several criteria by which the tubes of annelids can be easily distinguished from those of the phoronids.]]> http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/8pli8pbuo1-dialogue-about-the-present-and-the-futur http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/g4uzy9aus1-msu-scientists-have-first-mapped-the-bio http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/g4uzy9aus1-msu-scientists-have-first-mapped-the-bio?amp=true Fri, 22 Nov 2019 12:26:00 +0300 Science

MSU scientists have first mapped the biodiversity of earthworms on the planet

In temperate latitudes, the local diversity of earthworms is higher than in the tropics. Global climate change can lead to significant changes in earthworm communities around the world, threatening many of the functions they perform. These are the two main results of a new study conducted by an international group of scientists with the participation of MSU research staff. The study has contributed to the collection of the world's largest earthworm database, which covered 6928 points in 57 countries. The results of the study are published in 'Science' journal.]]> http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/9o9vbyt0k1-the-second-forum-of-the-federation-of-re http://project3599755.tilda.ws/tpost/9o9vbyt0k1-the-second-forum-of-the-federation-of-re?amp=true Sun, 01 Dec 2019 12:27:00 +0300 International cooperation

The Second Forum of the Federation of Rectors of Russian and Arab Universities

November 28, 2019 Moscow State University welcomed the Second Forum of the Federation of Rectors of Russian and Arab Universities, organized in close cooperation by the Russian Rectors’ Union, the Association of Arab Universities and the Federation of Rectors of Russian and Arab Universities. The event was attended by the representatives of 46 Russian and 33 Arab universities from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Jordan, Algeria, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia.
In the welcoming speech, Rector of Moscow State University, President of the Russian Rectors’ Union professor Viktor Sadovnichy has emphasized that European and Arab science and education are connected by closely interwoven historical roots, and outlined the long history of cooperation between Russia and the Arab world at the level of state leaders and higher education institutions. Speaking about the cooperation of Moscow State University with the countries of the Arab world, Professor Sadovnichy recalled of the official visits to MSU of Crown Prince of Yemen El Badr Seif Ul-Islam Mohamed, the first President of Algeria Ahmed Ben Bella, President of the United Arab Republic Gamal Abdel Nasser, Crown Prince of Jordan Al Hassan bin Talal, Professor Emeritus of MSU.

Researchers clarify how DNA damage signaling works

The DNA molecule is chemically unstable, giving rise to DNA lesions of various kinds. That is why DNA damage detection, signaling and repair, collectively known as the DNA damage response, are needed. The DNA damage response is immensely important, for example, for ensuring the highest possible quality of DNA before replication prior to cell division. If the damaged DNA is replicated, the risk of cancer and other diseases increases significantly due to mutations. All in all this may lead to the death of a cell itself.
