Alejandro Curino: We will Never Find a Cure for Cancer

Alejandro Curino: We will Never Find a Cure for Cancer

Doctor Alejandro Curino supports this idea. He is the director of the Laboratory of Cancer Biology of the Conicet in Bahía Blanca. “Cancer is not a disease, but many diseases with a common mechanism: the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. That is why, whereas some are curable, we are very far from finding the cure for others”. The researchers analyze different molecules in carcinogenic cells to know if the deregulation caused by the pathologies called cancer is their cause or effect.

Cybernetic War: The New Paradigm in Computing Security

Cybernetic War: The New Paradigm in Computing Security

Computing attacks are more and more frequent. They put at risk companies and public government organisms’ security. Through specialized malicious programs, these attacks cause serious problems which go from the access to secret State information to the interruption of a country’s bank system. In a study about Computing Security, specialists recommend to assume technological challenges to prevent the risks.

A Place to Study the Primitive Earth

A Place to Study the Primitive Earth

The environmental and geological conditions of the Puna Catamarqueña can offer clues of what were the sedimentary systems of the primitive Earth and Mars. The geologist Fernándo Gómez analyzes the Black Lake, a modern analogous environment which permits to understand the processes which gave origin to life in the distant past of the Earth and which might be common to other planets.

Construction of a Machine Identical to One of NASA through a Picture

Construction of a Machine Identical to One of NASA through a Picture

Just an image was enough for a group of engineers to create a machine for tests almost unique in the country. It is used to study the wearing of materials between themselves and also to verify conditions in failure analysis. With the new equipment they do works for different companies and the funds collected are used to set new equipment which graduate and post graduate students use.

Study to Use Hydrogen to Propel Cars

Study to Use Hydrogen to Propel Cars

By means of laboratory practices, researchers analyze to generate and purify this gas to use it in combustible cells, an alternative electric energy source, as it is used for diverse things and it could be applied to vehicles. The specialists state that hydrogen cells could replace, in the future, internal combustion engines in cars, buses, trucks and even ships and locomotives.

Ants: Not a Small Problem

Ants: Not a Small Problem

Specialists explain how to control ants without damaging the environment and human health. The insects are generators of contamination when they circulate around the houses and besides, they are attracted by pathological waste. Due to the particular characteristics of the specie and to the fact that the insecticides used to combat them are usually damaging for the human health, they recommend prevention as the most adequate method to control them.

Biocombustibles in Sanitary Landfills

Biocombustibles in Sanitary Landfills

To produce biocombustibles through cultivations sown in sanitary landfills is the objective of a joint work between the University and the CEAMSE. The use of these places might permit the production of bioethanol without using grains, which might be used in food. The project already produced a compost to sell and involves the implant of grass in the landfills to regenerate the environment. Besides, it provides the expansion of forest and bush species.

Animals in Laboratories, an Ethical Matter

Animals in Laboratories, an Ethical Matter

The use of laboratory animals for research constitutes a scientific and ethical matter, because it implies researchers, as well as technicians and students who work with experimentation animals, who are capable and trained in their adequate management and care. Facing the lack of law regarding this topic, some professionals are working in a law Project which already in the National Senate.

Heart Attacks: Method to Isolate an Earthworm’s Enzyme Capable of Dissolving Clots

Heart Attacks: Method to Isolate an Earthworm’s Enzyme Capable of Dissolving Clots

It is a more efficient and cheaper procedure than those currently available to get the enzyme lumbrokinase, coming from common earthworms. It is a proteolytic enzyme, useful to treat heart attacks and thrombosis. It is also used as preventive strategy. Among its advantages, it can be administrated orally. The patent to develop it was already asked in Argentina.

Doubts about the Existence of Climate Change

Doubts about the Existence of Climate Change

Based on an important statistic database with thermal and rain registers of up to 100 years ago the Professor María Emilia Pérez hold in an interview to InfoUniversidades that “there are not enough elements to talk about climate change in strict sense; but we could say that we are facing variations, fluctuations or climate oscillations which are within the normal parameters”.

Trachea Transplant in Ovine

Trachea Transplant in Ovine

Professionals of the UNRC develop a model to carry out trachea transplant in ovine. By means of the intervention, which replaces a part of the trachea with a homo graft of vascular tissue and a stent, it was evidenced that on the graft there grows a new tissue similar to the trachea and the support is covered by respiratory tissue, giving place to a “neotrachea”. The scientists point to advance in the procedure to turn it into a clinical alternative.

La UNPSJB mide el ozono y los aerosoles en la atmósfera

La UNPSJB mide el ozono y los aerosoles en la atmósfera

En su sede de Trelew, el departamento de Física monitorea la capa de ozono y utiliza instrumentos provistos por la NASA para detectar los niveles de aerosoles en la atmósfera. La información, resultado de las mediciones, es compartida con la agencia norteamericana y con las 300 estaciones de este tipo que existen alrededor del mundo y forman la red “Aeronet”. Los investigadores buscan confirmar el vínculo entre las enfermedades de la piel, como el melanoma -uno de los causantes del cáncer de piel- y los rayos ultravioletas, para que se elaboren planes orientados a la detección precoz y la prevención de estas patologías.

Primer satélite argentino para estudios ambientales

Primer satélite argentino para estudios ambientales

La Facultad de Ingeniería de la UNLP participa de una inédita misión espacial: la construcción del primer satélite argentino dedicado a estudios ambientales. Se denomina SAC y será lanzado desde Estados Unidos en mayo de 2010. El satélite integrará un gigantesco radar llamado Aquarius creado por la NASA, por medio del que se accederá a información sobre pesquerías marítimas, aguas subterráneas y salinidad superficial oceánica. Los investigadores y técnicos platenses incorporarán tecnología de avanzada en el SAC, desarrollando así un rol clave en la construcción, funcionamiento y mantenimiento del proyecto espacial, en el que están trabajando desde hace más de una década.

Santa Cruz se afianza en la medición de ozono y radiación UV

Santa Cruz se afianza en la medición de ozono y radiación UV

Un laboratorio del CEILAP instalado en la Base Aérea Militar de Río Gallegos estudia las variaciones que se producen en la atmósfera, y a partir de la instalación de un semáforo que mide los niveles de radiación ultravioleta y mediante una campaña que alerta a la población cuando la dosis supera los niveles recomendados, la UNPA se incorporó al trabajo con proyectos de investigación destinados a la comunidad. El laboratorio integra la Red Aeronet de la NASA -a través de instrumental que mide partículas en suspensión en la atmósfera, junto con otras 400 estaciones del mundo- y brinda toda la información al Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. Por los avances logrados, el Conicet declaró “sitio de mediciones” a la Estación de Río Gallegos.

Obtienen anticuerpos que neutralizan la hemorragia del veneno de Yarará

Obtienen anticuerpos que neutralizan la hemorragia del veneno de Yarará

El envenenamiento por serpientes Bothrops alternatus o Yarará, es un accidente frecuente en varias regiones de nuestro país. Investigadores de la UNNE lograron obtener anticuerpos específicos que permiten neutralizar la actividad hemorrágica, lo que significa un avance para la preparación de nuevas formulaciones dirigidas al tratamiento de picaduras o mordeduras venenosas. El anticuerpo caracterizado bioquímicamente por el grupo de investigación interdisciplinario evita que el veneno afecte de manera directa a la sangre provocando otras complicaciones.
