ITMO Scientists Help Link Alzheimer’s to Lack of Energy in Immune Cells
…Immune cells of the nervous system are called the microglia. Their main function is phagocytosis – the assimilation and destruction of harmful particles, including dead neurons. Microglia also “consume” beta amyloids. When these proteins are quickly removed by microglia, they cause no harm. However, if that does not happen, beta amyloid…

Scientists Achieve Breakthrough in Polariton Laser Technology
…rgy that is required to transfer enough electrons onto the high-energy level. The minimum amount of energy required for the formation of laser radiation is referred to as the lasing-action threshold: this value, among other things, determines a laser’s minimum energy requirement. There is also another process which concerns the type of emission that is called spon…
