There is a gene that does not allow a man to become a woman



Scientists have discovered a gene that support for * men throughout their lives. In other words, the gene does not become a man ... a woman! In fact, it is a real breakthrough in science, which, in addition, be able to shed light on the many violations se * sualnoy life and disease.

A team of researchers led by Dr. David Zharkovera (David Zarkower) and Vivyana Badvella (Vivian Bardwell) from the University of Minnesota (University of Minnesota) found conducting experiments on mice that the removal of an important "male" gene in males resulted in the subsequent replacement of men by * ovyh cells in Seme * nicknames for women * ovymi cells.

"Scientists have long believed that if the sex determination occurs at the stage of the embryo, it irrevocably - explains Zharkover. - We have recently discovered that if you turn off a gene called Dmrt1 males - even in adults, the majority of men at * ovyh cells turn into women of * marketing cells and the testes will demonstrate the characteristics peculiar to me * chnikam ».

Previous studies have shown that deleting a gene called FoxI2 happens just the reverse reaction - women of marketing * cells are transformed into male and I have * chniki begin to show the properties of the testes. According Zharkovera, recently opening his team of scientists shows that one of the functions * ovyh glands is to lifelong support made at an embryonic level, the choice of a *.
