Henning Walczak: ”We have all the mechanisms at our disposal to know the enemy and fight it”
The Walczak research group aims at understanding how the immune system specifically attacks the cancer and to uncover the mechanisms used by tumors to counteract these attacks. The researcher has explained his research in the TRAIL signaling pathway (TNF– related apoptosis-inducing ligand) to discover new therapeutic targets that can be combined with other drugs causing
Miguel A. Valverde: “Alterations in intracellular calcium concentration have an impact on the pathophysiology of asthma”
From genetic studies in airway cells of asthmatic patients and control, Miguel A. Valverde said that “we can reach a general and novel conclusion: alterations in intracellular calcium concentration have an impact on the pathophysiology of asthma”. Although he added “in diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction or asthma we wouldn’t find a single gene
