Ideology of a computational experiment intrudes more and more into biology because, in comparison with work on living organisms, in silico experiment can be controlled in each detail and fully reproduced. However, it does not eliminate experimental work not today, not in future.

- Receptor with “non-traditional” orientation
science news
VI.10.11 Receptor tyrosine kinases play a key role in regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as of cell migration and metabolism. Until now, it was thought that all ligands of these receptors are of protein or peptide nature. However, a recent study conducted by a group of IBCh RAS researchers led by Dr. Alexander Petrenko identified a receptor tyrosine kinase that works as a sensor of mildly alkaline media, i.e. it activates in response to increase in concentration of extracellular hydroxyl-anions. Notably, this receptor has previously been considered as orphan with its ligand not found.
- The Future of Russian Science
science news
X.10.10 Most of Russian scientists are concerned with the future of Russian Science. And there is no surprise: in 2011 the Goverment isn't planning to allocate additional funds to Science. So, Georgii Georgiev (a professor at the Institute of Gene Biology, RAS, and an adviser of the RAS) and Eugene Sverdlov (a professor at the Institute of Molecular Genetics, RAS, and an adviser of the RAS) wrote an article in "Science" (october, 2010) about their expectations.
