This day also reminds us of the importance of uniting the efforts of medical professionals, public and charitable foundations in the fight against this serious disease.Every year, 600 children in Kazakhstan are diagnosed with cancer for the first time. The use of modern treatment methods allows us to increase the survival rate of children with cancer.One of the effective methods of treating childhood cancer is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. When a patient needs a transplant, the first thing to do is to look for a donor among relatives.However, the chance of finding a person with a suitable genotype is only 1 in 10,000 cases. Therefore, the development of bone marrow donation is of great importance for the treatment of children with cancer.Every blood donation can be a lifesaver for young patients with oncohematology.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/929799

ENU scientists are developing filters that reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere ENU engineering laboratory employees are developing filters that help reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The filters can be used to control emissions from power plants and factories, which reduces the carbon footprint and improves the environment.The research is funded by the IAEA.“The goal of the project is to develop an innovative technology that will allow combining road membranes (filters) produced in Kazakhstan with metal-organic framework compounds to increase the efficiency of carbon dioxide capture. We are working on creating special layers on the surface and inside the channels of road membranes that retain metal-organic framework compounds and improve their properties. At the end of 2024, the IAEA approved funding for the project for 5 years.As is known, Kazakhstan, having joined the Paris Agreement, is taking active measures to fulfill its obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and introduce innovative environmental technologies, and this project also contributes to compliance with the Paris Agreement,” noted Ilya Korolkov, a doctor at the Eurasian National University. He has been involved in science for about 16 years since his student days. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sci/press/news/details/929879
