University specialists studied the turkey plant growing in the Ili-Balkhash region and determined its anti-cancer activity.The turkey has been widely used in folk medicine since ancient times. However, this plant has not been fully studied scientifically. For the first time, KazNU scientists conducted large-scale research aimed at identifying the phytochemical and biologically active substances contained in it. According to the researchers, this project will contribute to the development of domestic pharmaceuticals in the future."As a result of the project, it was found that the plant of the pea-colored camellia plant has high biological activity. Plant extracts were distinguished by antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. For example, the ethanol extract showed strong antioxidant activity, and the ethyl acetate extract was effective against bacteria. It was also proven that certain plant extracts can resist leukemia cells. This can be used in the future for anti-cancer drugs," says Gulzat Kayranova, a senior lecturer at KazNU.Associate Professor Assem Mamurova, PhD, Professor from Turkey Ahmet Beyatli, and Kazakh National University doctoral student Gulzat Kayranova are working on the scientific project. In the future, specialists plan to obtain a patent and prepare articles for high-ranking scientific journals.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ontustik/press/news/details/941972

Work to provide local residents with housing continues systematically in the Turkestan region.The meeting, chaired by the akim of the Turkestan region, Nuralkhan Kusherov, The issues of provision and housing stock were widely analyzed, and the condition of apartment buildings was discussed.The head of the region strictly warned against improving the mechanism for providing housing to residents and preventing irregularities in the housing queue.– The main goal is to provide the population with housing within the financial means.
