Until now, TP53 mutations had been associated with a syndrome with a high risk of developing cancer that did not include colorectal tumors.
TP53 proposed as a predisposing gene for colon cancer Read More »
This tool is able to identify single-person neurodegeneration before the symptom’s appearance, which could significate a more effective and personalized medicine.
A study has evaluated the efficacy and safety of the combination of 3 cycles of chemotherapy with immunotherapy before surgery, in 51 patients with locally advanced lung cancer, followed by one year of treatment with immunotherapy.
This study has used a new technique called ‘T-cell receptor (TCR) immuno-sequencing’, which allows us to obtain both the number of T lymphocytes that infiltrate the tumor and their clonality index.
Children with ‘SHMT2’ deficiency, the gene that causes the disease, have cognitive development problems, motor disorders and progressive heart disease that may even require transplantation.
Researchers discover a new genetic disease of the nervous and cardiac systems Read More »
Reducing the consumption of red and processed meat would not only reduce emissions but would also improve ‘planetary health’ since greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are responsible for the so-called climate change.
The absence of ALKBH3 allows cancer cells to grow more freely and is an indicator of malignancy for this type of tumors. The study, published in Blood, has the participation of IDIBELL, ICO and HUB, among others.

Cisplatin induces senescence of peripheral neurons through overexpression of the p21 protein, which would explain the neuropathy
Identified the cellular process by which Cisplatin chemotherapy causes neuronal damage Read More »
When a cancer is diagnosed, the patient asked many questions: about the treatment, his new daily rutine, his new life… And also about a new way of eating. A good diet is essential to guarantee a good nutritional state and to tolerate cancer treatments. Moreover, it is known that side effects contribute to malnutrition in
erón’s project proposes to use the nematode C. elegans to introduce into its genome cancer mutations from patients. Thus, have a low-cost animal model to obtain functional information on these mutations and explore therapeutic possibilities by testing drugs in these avatar worms with patient mutations.
The AECC finances the implantation of a new cancer model in C. elegans Read More »
