1. Scientists in China discover the new pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease.
On June 5438+065438+1October 19, 2006, the online edition of the internationally renowned academic journal Nature Medicine published the latest research results of the research group of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai Institute of Life Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences on the new mechanism of amyloid β protein. This result reveals the new pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, and suggests that β 2 adrenoceptor may become a new target for developing drugs to treat Alzheimer's Harmo's disease.
2. China has made groundbreaking progress in the research of new antidiabetic drugs.
In 2006, scientists from Shanghai Institute of Pharmacology, China Academy of Sciences made important progress in the field of non-peptide small molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, and the related results were published in the online edition of the international authoritative scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in the first week of 2007 1 month. In a written press release to the media, the editorial department of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences pointed out that this oral effective non-peptide small molecule agonist may become a new treatment for diabetes, obesity and other related metabolic diseases.
3. Reveal the mystery of Drosophila memory and explore the neurobiological basis of memory.
The latest research results of the research group of Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences on Drosophila revealed that there is no universal memory center in the brain of Drosophila, but different sensory memories are stored in different regions. Just as humans can remember different parameters such as the height, size and color of images, the image memory of Drosophila also has different parameters. By studying the memory genes of Drosophila melanogaster, it can be further applied to mice, mammals and even humans, thus solving mental diseases such as insomnia and Alzheimer's disease.
4. Terminal control technology and application of drinking water quality safety risk
In order to evaluate the water quality in time and deal with emergencies, the Center for Ecological Environment Research of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of China Academy of Sciences jointly developed the biological online monitoring and early warning technology suitable for terminal water quality monitoring, established and improved the biological toxicity testing method, and formed a set of water quality evaluation technology system suitable for molecular and cellular level. The key technologies of research and development have independent intellectual property rights, * * * has produced 22 invention patents and published 6 1 paper, of which 23 papers have been included in SCI.
