Created the largest public database of genetic variants that regulate the expression of genes in the colon to date

The study has also permitted identify genetic variants that modify the expression of genes in the colon and that are associated with diseases such as colorectal cancer, but also with other organs such as the brain, showing the relationship between the intestine and the brain.

IDIBELL researchers define a new mechanism of aging in a bone marrow stem cell in women

To equilibrate the gene expression between XX females and XY males, one of female X chromosomes is inactivated. Researchers from IDIBELL Regenerative Program has discovered that this inactivation is affected in bone marrow aged stem cells.
