The study has identified mutations of this gene in ten families and biochemical studies in the laboratory have confirmed that these variants are responsible for the symptoms. Possible treatments have already been tested through massive drug analyzes, which will then be tested in mini-brains generated from cells of the patients.

A study by IDIBELL and the ICO, with the collaboration of the Spanish LAM Association, has detected that patients suffering from Lymphangioleiomyomatosis have elevated plasma levels of a histamine derivative, which could be used for the diagnosis of the disease.
TLR7 gene is essential for shaping response mechanisms to the virus and having deficiencies can lead to severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 in young people. The presence of autoantibodies against type I interferons increases with age and it is confirmed that it would increase the severity of COVID-19 in people older than 70 years.
Dr. Sebastiano Biondo, head of the Digestive Tube Pathology research group at IDIBELL and the Bellvitge University Hospital, has obtained the position of Professor of Surgery at the University of Barcelona in the competition held on July 20.
A research team from IDIBELL, CRG and UB has uncovered the role of a gene that is critical to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells during the early development of the pancreas. The findings could bolster diabetes research efforts and eventually lead to new replacement therapies for the disease.
