Interlaboratory Group is the scientific follower of the Laboratory "Cell Population Genetics", founded and headed by Professor Y. B. Vakhtin in 1978-2006. The contribution of Prof. Y. B. Vakhtin
and his assistants to the development of somatic cells genetics in Russia can not be overestimated. His books "Genetics of Somatic Cells" (1974) and "Genetic Theory of Cell Populations"
(1980) laid the foundation of genetics of somatic cells and epigenetic heredity in Russia. The development of somatic cells genetics was used as the basis for creation of clonal-selectional theory
of oncogenesis exposed comprehensively in his monograph "Clonal Selection Theory of Neoplasm" (1987). Prof. Vachtin was an editor of his students books, I. N. Shvemberger (1976) and of
A. E. Pereverzev (1986) devoted to the biology of cancer and stem cells. The creation of transplantable strains of rat rhabdomyosarcomas RA-23 with extremely high metastasizing property is
one of practical achievements of Y. B. Vakhtin. At 1995 RA-23 cells was patented as "The strain of tumor rhabdomyosarcoma" and has been used as a model for studying the processes of
organotypic metastasizing and screening of antitumor drugs.
At present Group's work is focused on molecular and genetic research of the main events in the cell population life cycles, functioning of stem cells and survival of terminally differentiated
cells. Program of investigations includes the studies of heterogeneity of bone marrow stem cell populations and their use for cell therapy. There was shown that local or general stem cell therapy
of chimeric mdx mice repairs the structure and function of nerve-muscle junctions. Reparation of NMJs structure is accompanied by recovery of membrane resting potential more expressed in the
end-plate region. The next direction is the epigenetic and genetic mechanisms of malignant cell differentiation. And the last one is the study of individual level of tolerance and their variability of
different kinds of cell populations after stress action of ecological factors. To-day the Group's efforts are concentrated upon participation of DNA reparation in the survival of tissue cells first of all
of cardiomyocytes. Objects are skeletal muscle fibers and cardiomyocytes of mutant mdx mice, human and animal decidual cells, lung, kidney and nerve cells. The establishment of age-related
sensitivity of chondrocytes of bone growth zones DNA synthesis to the action of impulse magnet field and ion cyclotron resonance is another Group's achievement. Result have become a
theoretical ground for the magnetic fields applications in clinical practice for noninvasive treatment of idiopathic scoliosis and other children's bone disorders in collaboration with hospital
"Ogonyok's Recovery Center of Child's Orthopaedics and Traumatology". (St. Petersburg). Russian Federation patent ¹ 2275943 "The way of treatment of idiopathic scoliosis" was obtained by
Prof V. M. Mikhailov and co-workers in 2006. In 2009 for this work Prof V. M. Mikhailov and colleagues have been took by Kosygin's award of Russian Association of Commodity Producers for
innovation of noninvasive methods in cue of bone diseases in pediatrics. Prof. V. M. Mikhailov is member of Interional Society of Differentiation (St. Paul, Minnesota, USA).
