Whole-cell biosensors are widely used to produce medical diagnostic tests, but in the long term, they tend to lose their indicator properties. Consequently, it is crucial to find ways to restore these properties and prolong the shelf life of the tests. Here, we propose to use electromagnetic radiation with optimally selected parameters of frequency, power, and exposure time.

Although the pericentromeric regions of chromosomes that are enriched in tandemly repeated satellite DNA represent a significant part of eukaryotic genomes, they remain understudied, which is mainly due to interdisciplinary knowledge gaps. Recent studies suggest their important role in genome regulation, karyotype stability, and evolution. Thus, the idea of satellite DNA as a junk part of the genome has been refuted.

The research investigates the mechanism of microwave radiation effects on biological characteristics and structural-dynamic parameters of a sensor bioluminescence system. The research objects are a sterile growth medium (fish meal hydrolisate) and a bacterial culture. It has been established that irradiation causes changes of the growth medium spectral properties within the range of 200-350nm.

We present a new method for investigation of sensitivity of the integrated optical electrodeless electric field sensor. This method is based on a compact microwave asymmetrical double-ridged waveguide with regular inhomogeneities. Small dimensions of the waveguide along with medium power of the microwave generator produce a strong electric field.
