When completed on Thursday (March 26) in Denver, Colorado, meeting of the American Chemical Society presented a total of 11 thousand. studies addressing how chemistry can solve the problems of the modern world.
The researchers presented their research on universal opossum serum venom from snakes, edible (non-poisonous) glass defroster, intelligent bandages or a new type of fat having become the antidote to the epidemic of our time – diabetes.
According to the International Society of Toxicology venomous snakes every year 421 thousand attack. people in the world, with over 20 thousand. does not survive such a meeting.
Scientists are still so looking for a universal, effective antidote. During the convention in Denver presents the most promising candidate – called LTNF peptide, which is lethal toxin neutralizing agent (Lethal Toxin neutralizing Factor). It comes from the body dydelfa virginiana, commonly called Possum.
Considerable interest was presented by scientists bandage who “thinks”. Not only stops the bleeding, but primarily detects pressure sores, wounds and ulcers in chronically ill patients lying, even before they see the doctor.
On the other hand, Dr. band. Alan Saghateliana the Salk Institute has discovered a new class of lipids which can become in the future an effective remedy for diabetes. As for the so-called FAHFAs, which translated into Polish – fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids.
