The ability to inhibit mitophagy converts fluorizoline into a promising antitumor agent

Fluorizoline was known for its pro-apoptotic action on various tumor cells. Now, a study by IDIBELL and the University of Barcelona shows that apart from promoting cell death, this compound inhibits the degradation of mitochondria.

Cervical cytologies are not sensitive enough to detect endometrial cancer

The screening programs of cervical cancers diagnosticated by cervical cytologies have reduced the incidence and mortality of this cancer. However, a retrospective study of IDIBELL and ICO that included 371 women treated at the Hospital de Bellvitge has shown that these tests are not effective for endometrial cancer diagnosis.

An indicator of endothelial dysfunction predicts the need for ICU transfer in patients with bone marrow transplantation

The hematology team, from IDIBELL and ICO, has published an article in the journal Blood Advances that proposes this index as a tool to identify patients with higher risk to be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
