NSU is developing a method for comprehensive predictive diagnostics of age-related muscle failure.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies NSU's Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine (IMMT) is developing a comprehensive diagnostic method for the neuromuscular system, which will ultimately aid in the prevention and correction of age-related muscle weakness (sarcopenia). The work is being conducted as part of the project "Comprehensive Modulation of Neuroplasticity Reserves in Sarcopenia Correction," which is part of the strategic technology project "Center for the Integration of Biomedicine and Pharmaceutics," supported by the Priority 2030 program.

The term "sarcopenia" comes from the Greek words sarcos (meat, flesh) and penia (deficiency). It refers to a progressive and systemic loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. It has now been established that it is not simply age-related muscle atrophy, a consequence of aging, but a clinically confirmed condition that can be diagnosed and treated. Sarcopenia can be caused not only by aging but also by other factors, including lifestyle, work habits, diet, and acute and chronic illnesses.

The project, implemented by NSU scientists, is based on the development and scientific substantiation of a neurocentric model for the prevention and correction of sarcopenia, based on the complex modulation of the central nervous system's neuroplasticity reserves, that is, mechanisms influencing the nervous system's ability to change structure and function in response to new experiences, learning, and changes in the environment.

NSU, with its proposed neurocentric model, is a pioneer not only in Russia but also in the post-Soviet space. Most research teams in our country and worldwide continue to develop strategies aimed directly at muscle tissue and its metabolism. The prevailing model views sarcopenia primarily as a localized muscle tissue problem, focusing on the study of mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular aging, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance.

The dominant model recognizes the role of the nervous system as a factor in pathogenesis, such as the decline in motor neurons and the deterioration of neuromuscular transmission with age. However, placing neuroplasticity at the center of research attention and therapeutic intervention is a fundamentally new approach, which constitutes its main scientific novelty and potential advantage.

"The uniqueness of the approach proposed at NSU lies in the fact that we view sarcopenia not only as a degenerative process in muscle tissue caused by diseases, conditions, or age, but also as a result of dysfunction of the central neuromuscular control mechanisms. From this perspective, the most promising approach is to study neuroplasticity, as it underlies the restoration and maintenance of motor function. Targeted correction of nervous system plasticity, for example, through cognitive-motor training, neurostimulation, or pharmacological interventions, can become a key element in developing effective strategies to combat sarcopenia," explained Daria Podchinenova, PhD, Deputy Director for Research at the NSU Institute of Medical and Medical Technologies.

In 2025, the first stage of the project resulted in the creation and patenting of a unique, Siberian-first structured database of key clinical and paraclinical markers of sarcopenia and body composition (the ratio of various body components—fat, lean mass, muscle, water, etc.), as well as a database of neuroimaging maps (brain images obtained using various imaging methods). The uniqueness of the assembled database lies in the fundamental expansion of the diagnostic research field. The database is not limited to standard sarcopenia indicators (muscle mass, grip strength, gait speed), but was developed for the comprehensive study of sarcopenia as a systemic process. Functional diagnostics, biochemistry, and cellular immunology data are integrated within a single platform. The database is intended to form the basis for a personalized approach to the diagnosis and management of sarcopenia. In total, it contains data from nearly 3,000 patients.

Based on the collected information, NSU scientists developed a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm for assessing the neuromuscular system and key methodological recommendations for the diagnosis and application of neuroplasticity modulation methods in sarcopenia prevention and correction programs for implementation in healthcare institutions and gerontology centers.

Also, in parallel, the necessary potential elements of the diagnostic complex are being developed – key neuromarkers (BDNF, galanin, beta-amyloid, tau protein, myokines: meteorin-like protein, irisin, myostatin, FGF-21, IGF-1 metabolites, insulin), neuroimaging markers and predictors, such as the volume of gray matter in the motor areas, the thickness of the precentral gyrus, indicating a decrease in neuroplasticity and associated with the risk of development and progression of sarcopenia.

"Thanks to projects like these, NSU is developing a new strategic direction within the personalized ("7P") medicine paradigm. A longitudinal observation system has been launched at the NSU Medical Center, collecting data from the same patients over a long period of time, and unique databases have been created. Students, residents, and young scientists from the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies are participating in this work," said Maria Matveeva, MD, Associate Professor of the Department of Clinical Health Modeling and Personalized Medicine at the NSU Institute of Medical and Medical Technologies and the project manager.

The overall project is designed to last five years, and by 2030, the plan is to develop a method for comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the neuromuscular system, including MRI protocols, biomarker panels, and approaches to modulating neuroplasticity in comprehensive sarcopenia prevention and correction programs. These are planned to be tested at partner clinical centers—with whom collaboration agreements have already been concluded—in order to identify specific, most effective methods for modulating neuroplasticity.

Active longevity is a priority for Russian healthcare, so identifying and promptly addressing the factors that can limit age-related physical activity, reduce life expectancy, and impair quality of life is crucial. Furthermore, the guidelines being developed for diagnosing and modulating neuroplasticity will help reduce rehabilitation costs through early prevention of sarcopenia and associated diseases.

Heading for Space: Polytechnic University to Teach Schoolchildren Rocket Building

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic University has developed a unique rocket modeling course for schoolchildren: learn how to design, build, and test a hydropneumatic rocket from scratch right on the school stadium. The educational program includes a technology kit with all the necessary components (from controllers and wires to a rescue parachute), a research unit, 3D modeling modules, circuit design, and programming. The course was developed with the support of the federal program "Priority 2030."

"Rocket science is a strategic industry for Russia, and the new program is conceptually linked to the national project "Space" and the federal project of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science "Personnel for Space." In practical terms, it aims to focus students' attention on the practical application of the knowledge they acquire in school. This means we want to clearly demonstrate to students what they can do with their school knowledge in mathematics, physics, computer science, and technology. Furthermore, the "Rocket Modeling" program serves as an early career guidance tool for schoolchildren, as its structure allows participants to explore a wide range of fields—from programming to engineering," explains Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU, explaining the significance of the new educational program.

The "Rocket Modeling" supplementary education program, which includes a special technology kit, "Class S-6-A Rocket Model. Hydropneumatic Rocket Model," is designed for students starting in fifth grade. The course is designed to last one year. Its structure includes methodological training for supplementary education teachers at SPbPU, followed by implementation in schools, lyceums, and colleges. For this purpose, the course authors have developed special teaching aids.

The "Rocket Modeling" program modules include software development (the educational version of "Kompas-3D") and the Arduino electronics development platform. Students will also be able to implement circuit design projects. The program includes a set of equipment and materials for assembling a rocket model, as well as an educational kit for assembling a rescue system based on an Arduino Nano microcontroller, a BMP 280 sensor, and an SG90 servo motor.

The basic kit includes all the necessary components to assemble a ready-to-use rocket model measuring 70 cm in length and weighing 400 grams. The model is designed for an average flight altitude of 28 meters, making it safe to launch from any school stadium.

One of our goals, beyond the educational aspect, is to engage students in the sport of rocket modeling. Although the program is designed for students in grades 5 and up, we are also open to teaching younger students who are truly interested in rocket modeling. Initially, we offer students the opportunity to build S-3-A (parachute) and S-6-A (brake band) rocket models, and then, if they are interested, they can move on to more complex models. Since the program involves the use of model rocket engines, the propulsion equipment, launch organization, and execution will be supported by SPbPU," explained Yegor Temirgaliyev, the course developer and senior lecturer at SPbPU's Graduate School of Industrial Management.

The model built within the course is designed for multiple use, so the program includes research into the dependence of readings on nozzle geometry and the ratio of working fluid to pressure in the propeller, as well as a comparative analysis of the obtained data with theoretical calculations.

The first course of the Rocket Modeling program will begin in September 2026.

SPbPU systematically engages schoolchildren in the topic of rocket modeling and rocket science. In September 2025, as part of the Engineering League rocket science intensive educational program, young engineers visited the Baikonur Cosmodrome., where they witnessed the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle and learned about the history of the conquest of the Universe. This trip is a shining example of the Polytechnic University's strategy for engaging talented youth. The Engineering League project allows schoolchildren not only to gain theoretical knowledge in rocket science but also to see its practical application in the real economy, meet future employers, and immerse themselves in the professional environment.

Speech by Andrey Surovenkov

Andrey Surovenkov, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at SPbGASU, took part in a meeting of the Public Council of the Committee for the Improvement of St. Petersburg. Our university representative leads a permanent working group on engaging senior and graduate students in developing urban development concepts. At the meeting, he briefed his colleagues on this work.

The St. Petersburg School: Heritage and Modern Technologies

The Faculty of Architecture at SPbGASU adheres to the principles of the St. Petersburg school of architecture—a respectful attitude toward the historical context and a high level of professional responsibility. Priorities include the development of digital architecture, the implementation of new design technologies, and fostering in students a holistic view of the city as a unified ecosystem.

The faculty is viewed as a student-teacher-graduate-city interaction environment, where the educational process is directly linked to the real-world challenges of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. Design workshops, led by practicing architects, are actively integrated into the educational process, and the clients include municipalities, cultural institutions, government agencies, and business representatives.

This mentoring format allows students to work on real projects, consider regulatory and urban planning restrictions, engage in dialogue with the client, and understand the architect's professional responsibility for the outcome.

Improvement projects: from parks to central streets

Andrey Surovenkov spoke about the faculty's key project areas, which are being implemented in collaboration with the city.

These include the concept for the Linear Park on Vasilievsky Island; the improvement project for Fyodorovsky Square, which served as the basis for the project completed in 2025; improvement concepts for Murinsky and Peizazhny Parks; the transformation of the areas near the Youth Theater and on the Fontanka Embankment in the Semyonovsky Municipal District; and proposals for the renovation of public spaces on Dumskaya Street.

Considerable attention is being paid to creating a comfortable urban environment in the city's historic center. Among the developments are proposals for creating alternate routes to Nevsky Prospekt, floral designs for the embankments, and library renovation concepts, including Central Children's Library in Sosnovy Bor.

As part of the environmental agenda, the faculty presented initiatives to create small architectural forms from recycled plastic, developed in partnership with specialized city organizations. Thus, educational projects become a platform for implementing sustainable development and circular economy principles.

Architectural hackathons, bringing together students, faculty, and representatives of the professional community, have become a new tool for project collaboration. This format allows for the rapid development of concepts for specific areas, promptly responding to the city's pressing needs.

Decisions and plans

In addition to SPbGASU projects, meeting participants discussed the renewal of the Public Council's specialized commissions and working groups. Key areas of activity for 2026 were identified, related to the development of public spaces, improving approaches to urban development, and incorporating citizen initiatives.

According to Andrey Surovenkov, the participation of the SPbGASU Faculty of Architecture in the public council confirms the university's strategic role in shaping the modern urban environment. The integration of education, research, and real-world improvement projects not only enables the training of sought-after specialists but also makes a practical contribution to the development of St. Petersburg.

Dmitry Grigorenko: The ability to use artificial intelligence is a new professional competency.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Government House is hosting Artificial Intelligence Week for the first time. The event, aimed at civil servants, includes an educational program and an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions. The main goal of AI Week is to introduce civil servants to the capabilities of AI technology and train them in the use of specific solutions they can already apply in practice. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, who oversees the implementation of artificial intelligence, participated in the opening ceremony.

"We've already begun using artificial intelligence in the Government Office. To this end, we launched an experiment and deployed a number of solutions for performing common tasks. The goal is to free specialists from routine tasks, such as preparing reports, so they can focus on core issues. It's important to understand: artificial intelligence doesn't write bills or make government decisions. It doesn't replace humans or compete with them. AI is merely a tool and assistant for civil servants. As part of AI Week, we're not only training civil servants to use AI in their work but also striving to change their attitudes toward the technology. Today, the ability to effectively use artificial intelligence is a new professional competency. There's nothing wrong with using modern tools that allow you to solve a problem in minutes instead of hours," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Government Executive Office is currently conducting an experiment to integrate artificial intelligence services into work processes. The experiment is testing solutions from leading Russian tech companies, Sber and Yandex. Three AI assistants are already available to pilot participants in an open environment: Alice AI and NeuroLawyer from Yandex, and GigaChat from Sber. Government employees are using them to solve common tasks such as preparing quick reports, spell checking, generating document summaries, and analyzing and comparing different versions of regulatory documents.

Additionally, as part of the experiment, work is underway to create an infrastructure for the operation of AI solutions. Specifically, an AI server has been installed directly at Government House. This will expand the possibilities for using artificial intelligence within the Government Office, for example, by integrating the technology into the electronic document management system.

As Dmitry Grigorenko noted, even more AI functions will soon be available to Government Executive Office staff. These include the creation of meeting minutes, document classification by topic, the creation of reports based on extensive materials, and smart search in knowledge bases. Thirteen AI services are in development by 2026, including those for analytics, email management, and compliance monitoring.

AI Week is a separate component of a larger effort to familiarize civil servants with the potential of using technology in public administration. The educational program includes lectures featuring practitioners (from Sber and Yandex). Simultaneously, an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions was held at the Government House. For example, as part of the exhibition, Sber showcased the capabilities of the GigaChat neural network, which can assist Government Office employees with daily routine tasks, such as compiling briefs and analyzing documents. Sber and its partners also demonstrated a set of tools for creating AI agents for civil servants, which assist in preparing meeting minutes and handling citizen requests.

"The technologies we're showcasing at AI Week in the Government share a clear idea: artificial intelligence should work for people and the country, not the other way around. We're creating solutions that are extremely useful right now for use in the highly responsible work of the Government Executive Office. These technologies make complex things simple and accessible and are helping with the digital transformation of the entire country. The GigaChat AI assistant, GigaChat Business, AI agents, data analysis, speech technologies, and other Sberbank developments bring tangible benefits to the state and its citizens. And these positive effects will only continue to grow," commented Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of Technological Development at Sberbank.

At the exhibition, Yandex presented "NeuroLawyer," an AI assistant for legal professionals, as well as developments based on its own AI models, used in socially significant projects in healthcare, education, transportation, and the environment.
