RUDN University doctors have identified genetic features that may affect the susceptibility to reoccurring stenosis (luminal renarrowing) after stent deployment. The results will help to determine the risk of restenosis and choose a personalized therapy more accurately.
RUDN chemists have created a reusable catalyst for the oxidation of sulfides for the synthesis of drugs, dyes and other compounds. It can “switch” the final product and provides “green” reaction conditions.
RUDN scientists have traced the changes that have occurred in the chernozems of the Belgorod region over the past 35 years. During soil degradation, they often change color, and this allowed specialists to assess their condition from satellite images. This method will help to quickly identify the deterioration of the soil and regulate its use in order to increase the efficiency of cultivation.
RUDN University and Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) chemist together with colleagues from Iran created a hydrogel film for wound dressing. It protects the wound from germs and is harmless to healthy tissues. Moreover, its porous structure can hold antibiotic, which kills dangerous microorganisms and provide additional protection.
RUDN University chemist together with colleagues from Poland created a compound based on silver and organic ligands. Potentially, it may help fight viruses and bacteria many times more effectively than existing drugs.
RUDN University engineers have shown that theoretical calculations traditionally used to describe the compression of metal work pieces, do not take into account an important property of materials. Scientists have proposed a new approach that considered the missing property and showed that the final result in this case changes by 15-20%.
On May 17, 2022, the Interdepartmental academic and methodological online seminar of the Commission for Foreign Languages of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University) organized by the Foreign Languages Department of the Agrarian and Technological Institute of RUDN University was held via Microsoft Teams.
The RUDN University scientist together with colleagues from Germany for the first time showed the unique possibilities of studying the CD38 protein in mast cells using multiplex immunohistochemistry technologies. The obtained results open up new horizons in the study of the antitumorigenic effects of the tumor microenvironment and the development of promising methods of cancer immunotherapy.
The chemist RUDN proposed a way to destroy caffeine with the help of ultraviolet radiation and available composites. The discovery will help to safely clean the water from accidental contamination.
The rudn university chemist together with colleagues from Belgium improved the protocol of the classical Petasis reaction, which is used to obtain substances for medicine and agrochemistry. The improved method allows the reaction to be carried out in mild conditions with a high yield of the product.
The ecologists of the RUDN for the first time proved the ineffectiveness of the popular method of protecting the soil from toxic metals — gypsum treatment. It turned out that this practice is not only ineffective, but, on the contrary, increases the level of pollution.
RUDN economists have found out how consumers relate to eco-labeling in Russia. It turned out thattheydo not pay attention to eco-labels, and manufacturers mislead them,so in Russia eco-labeling does not yet contribute to the sustainable developmentof the economy. Ekonomists suggested using a smartphone appto helpshoppers verify the authenticity of eco-marks.
