This year we are celebrating 150 anniversary of the discovery of DNA by Friedrich Miescher. His finding initiated a series of discoveries that allowed to depicts life's most famous molecule with novel features with considerable biological interest. In this article we recall the biggest mile stones of 150-year history of DNA and present the context and meaning of several key observations that have...
In 2018 we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Jędrzej Śniadecki’s birth. This work aims to show the importance of his thoughts for the development of natural sciences. He studied at some of the largest universities in Europe, where he met great scientists of the Enlightenment. The effects can be seen in his works. He was remembered as a founder of Polish biochemistry, anthropology and pathology,...
The challenge for psychology is to integrate findings from genetics and environmental (social, biological, chemical) factors, into the study of human behavior and deep understanding of the emergence of different changes in the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the nervous system that influence the mental health. Currently, cognitive abilities associated with learning and memory, reasoning, problem...
Günter Blobel jest wybitnym niemieckim naukowcem, profesorem Uniwersytetu Rockefellera w Nowym Jorku, który za swoje osiągnięcia i prace nad transportem białek przez błony wewnątrzkomórkowe został wyróżniony w 1999 roku Nagrodą Nobla w dziedzinie fizjologii lub medycyny. Wyniki doświadczeń przez niego prowadzonych zaowocowały sformułowaniem tzw. hipotezy sygnałowej, zgodnie z którą białka zawierają...
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was identified 140 years ago by a Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher. His discovery was fundamental for the development of biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology. Contemporary biology, biotechnology and medicine largely depends on our ability to analyze, synthesize and manipulate DNA. The authors present highlights of the history of DNA research from the very beginning...

Nervous system is characterized by its uniqueness in cells origin, their variability, electrical properties of the nervous cell membrane, response to external signals, neuronal network and changes in synapses activity that are the basis of higher brain functions, such as learning and memory. Brain is a superior organ of human body with an extremely efficient regulation system. Apart from protein and...
