The document discusses two recent scientific discoveries:
1) Researchers at the University of Edinburgh discovered a protein complex called Ska that helps stabilize cell division and the distribution of genetic material between daughter cells. Disruptions to this process could lead to cancer, offering new insights into cancer development.
2) A team at the University of California, Davis found that new genes can arise from ancestral non-coding DNA sequences, which is occurring at a high rate across animals and plants. Random mutations can cause non-coding DNA to be transcribed, forming new genes over time through selection. Understanding how genomes change could inform future therapies.

DNA is a long polymer of simple units called nucleotides. Each one contains a phosphate group (acid component), a sugar group (neutral component) and a nitrogen base (basic component).
The DNA is the basis of our genetic code, we could almost say that we are all made of DNA; therefore all studies are trying to understand this important part of us. Over time, they have discovered that DNA contains all the instructions that control the development and function of every cell in our body. What we know is that the DNA is able to divide itself, replicating and giving two daughter strands which contain exactly the same information from DNA mother. Then these are transcribed into RNA and finally translated into proteins, this is what we know as the central dogma of genetic information.
Although nature seems to be so perfect there are some cases where this beautiful process fails, and this is where certain diseases are originated and can cause multiple problems. Scientists are increasingly closer to find answers and perhaps their studies can help in the future.
New treatments for Alzheimer's, autism and depression, could be developed.
It could be the starting point for future researches on genes involved in these diseases.
Knowing which genes are involved, people who are not sick yet, might prevent some disease.
These findings help us understand how diseases work and where they come from.
Encourages doctors and scientists to find more about this genes, to achieve excellent results that could benefit many people.
It gives us hope and determination to achieve incredible things in this medicine area; we know that humans are able to find and develop things that we have never imagine.
We know that DNA is the basis of everything, thus if we understand certain parts of it and what is involved on it, we would be able to control many diseases that affects society nowadays.
With these discovery we would be contributing to industry and researches.
new hypothesis could change the way we see things, and would make researchers focused in other cell structures such as ribosomes.
The cause of some diseases might not be in the DNA, but on the malfunctioning of ribosomes, in that way we must look for the real cause of them.
In my opinion this is a big step for medicine, although there is not yet a certain result, and they have to investigate more about the genes, they have a great part of the investigation that can guide them to find the solution to multiple diseases. I think that this kind of researches benefit a lot our society, because they are trying to improve people’s life, by finding the different places of de brain where illnesses are originated. With this project we can start thinking on possible cures and treatments for Alzheimer's, autism, depression and other disorders.
It's good to start investigating on other cellular structures that may be quite involved in the most complex processes of DNA. Scientists may have never wondered what real role of ribosome is. Thinking about new hypotheses and that maybe the ribosome is the central point is crazy but good, because they could be right.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

4. During the past few years the molecular
biology have tried to find the answers for what
is still unknown for us, including:
• Cell division: giving us the possibility to
understand the complex process that allows
the cellular regeneration, and making us
able to improve the therapies and
approaches to different diseases such as
cancer.
• Genetics: making possible the treatment and
diagnosis of pathologies that normally
doesn't have a well known explanation,
giving the opportunity to the people that
lives with that kind of problems a new
chance to have a better life.
INTRODUCTION
5. In the past days the Scientifics
have found one of the key parts
of the cellular division process,
mediated by a protein complex
called Ska who helps in the
correct distribution of the genetic
information, generating identical
twin cells after the cytokinesis.
CELL DIVISION DISCOVERY COULD
OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER
6. The interaction of this protein complex helps to keep the organs
of the body functioning in a correct way , enabling a correct cell
regeneration.
Scientifics believe that damages in this process could lead to the
development of diseases such as cancer, that’s why the complex
is so relevant.
CELL DIVISION DISCOVERY COULD
OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER
7. The set of proteins that
form the complex work
together stabilizing the
sequence of events that
take place during the
cellular
division,
by
helping anchor DNA,
interacting with strands
of cell material.
CELL DIVISION DISCOVERY COULD
OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER
8. The experiments and lab test
that were made in order to
discover the protein complex
took place at the University
of
Edinburgh and were
based in the analysis of the
protein crystals.
The scientific team believe
that they research could lead
the discovery of new drugs
for fighting cancer.
CELL DIVISION DISCOVERY COULD
OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER
9. Ska Complex
I think that the Ska complex has a
very important role during the
cellular division; that’s why the
knowledge of how it works and how
it develops the separation of the
genetic information takes a high
relevance in the now day world.
Understanding it action mechanism
will allows us to fight trough all the
problems and disease that the damage
of the complex can cause, bringing a
new hope to the people in this
conditions.
OBSERVATIONS
10. Where do new genes come
from? That was the question
that motivated a team of
Scientifics at the University of
California, Davis to make a
research on the topic.
They found that new genes
could come from ancestral
sequences of non-coding
DNA, and that this is really
happening in a big rate,
because similar effects have
been discovered in other
animals and plants.
NEW GENES SPRING, SPREAD FROM
NON-CODING DNA
11. The new theory joins to an
old one postulated in which
new functions appear when
existing genes are duplicated
and then diverge in function.
Scientist believe that “new
genes form when a random
mutation in the regulatory
machinery causes a piece of
non-coding DNA to be
transcribed to RNA”.
NEW GENES SPRING, SPREAD FROM
NON-CODING DNA
12. The experiment was made in
in the testes of several strains
of the fruit fly Drosophila
melanogaster (comparing them
with two closely related
species),
in
which
the
Scientifics found a big
amount of “new genes”.
NEW GENES SPRING, SPREAD FROM
NON-CODING DNA
13. Despite the big discovery,
they also found that a big
amount of that new genes
were fixed, what showed that
those new genes were under
a selection process, so only
the ones who represent a
benefit to the specie could
stay with it.
NEW GENES SPRING, SPREAD FROM
NON-CODING DNA
14. I think that the discovery of where
new genes come from bring us a great
opportunity to get to know us in a
better way, because all who we are is
reduced to our genetic information.
That’s why I consider that this
represents a big step in the science
that could be applied in a easy way in
things such as the genic therapy for
those who suffers a genetic disorder
that can be fixed with the todays
knowledge and technology
OBSERVATIONS
15. As the scientific team said, this and further researches could make
a way for the investigation of new types of drugs that can help and
regulate the work of protein complex such as the Ska, allowing to
prevent cancer and other diseases for mistakes in the cellular
division process.
MEDICAL UTILITY. CELL DIVISION
DISCOVERY COULD OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER.
16. Understanding the factors involved in
cell division and how these interact is
of vital importance in the treatment
and improvement of those suffering
from cancer or other diseases because
of this, bringing hope as we get to
know how really the cells work.
MEDICAL UTILITY. CELL DIVISION
DISCOVERY COULD OFFER FRESH INSIGHT INTO CANCER.
17. The development of new
genes from non-coding
DNA could bring light on
the improvement of gene
therapy, making it
somewhat safer and more
accessible to those who
need it and bringing
benefits in the treatment
of incurable diseases.
MEDICAL UTILITY. NEW GENES
SPRING, SPREAD FROM NON-CODING DNA.
18. The understanding of the process of how the genome could change
and become stronger could be the key for future therapies developed
looking for making us a healthier specie and with the advantage of
being adaptable to any situation.
