IDIBELL researchers identify a brain region that predicts the evolution of apathy in Huntington’s patients

The atrophy of a specific region of the cerebral cortex is related to the appearance of apathy in Huntington’s patients, a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor and cognitive function. This is the conclusion of a study of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) published in the Movement Disorders journal.

A connection between senescence and stem cells caused by a breast cancer-initiating protein

Hyperactivation of the RANK pathway plays a double function in breast cells: in the early stages of cancer, it activates senescence, which has a protective effect and delays the appearance of tumours
