Crohn’s disease/small RNAs/electrophoresis Twodimensional and bidirectional electrophoretic tech­ niques previously developed for the specific detection of circular viroids and virusoids in plant material were used to analyze preparations of low molecular weight RNA from the granulomatous bowel tissue of patients with Crohn’s disease and from corresponding tissue of healthy controls. A major and two minor RNA species of about 300 nu­ cleotides length were detected in RNA samples from eight Crohn’s disease patients and not in those from three healthy controls. It remains to be established whether these disease-associated RNAs with viroid-like electrophoretic properties play a causative role in Crohn’s disease.

The ability of certain reptiles to adhere to vertical (and hang from horizontal) surfaces has been attributed to the presence of specialized adhesive setae on their feet. Structural and compositional studies of such adhesive setae will contribute significantly towards the design of biomimetic fibrillar adhesive materials. The results of electron microscopy analyses of the structure of such setae are presented, indicating their formation from aggregates of proteinaceous fibrils held together by a matrix and potentially surrounded by a limiting proteinaceous sheath. Microbeam X-ray diffraction analysis has shown conclusively that the only ordered protein constituent in these structures exhibits a diffraction pattern characteristic of β-keratin. Raman microscopy of individual setae, however, clearly shows the presence of additional protein constituents, some of which may be identified as α-keratins. Electrophoretic analysis of solubilized setal proteins supports these conclusions, indicating the presence of a group of low-molecular-weight β-keratins (14–20 kDa), together with α-keratins, and this interpretation is supported by immunological analyses.

Some considerations and reports are made regarding personal scientific developments carried out by author V.M. Zemskov in partnership with colleagues team and my close colleague prof. Zemskov A.M. for many years, specifically, 50 years. This is a problem, to which almost entire life has been devoted. It relates to a completely new global consistent pattern that we managed to stumble upon in those distant years, and that is implemented in any biological systems -whether it’s a higher or a lower organism, a human being, or various microbial and cellular populations. Realized by low molecular weight RNA or oligonucleotides of RNA.
