Two studies led by IDIBELL and the Catalan Institute of Oncology show that DNA sequencing in these samples can detect endometrial cancer, which would avoid much more invasive and painful methods.
RINT1 mutations would be causing a deregulation of fat metabolism and intracellular communication of energy production. This is a significant advance in the understanding of this disease, and opens new perspectives for diagnosis and possible treatment in the future.
The application will monitor in real-time and, combined with neuroimaging studies, will allow the identification of new biomarkers to predict the disease evolution.

Treatment with L-Ergothioneine manages to increase the solubility of cystine in urine, thus preventing the formation of stones or delaying their appearance. After treatment, an improvement in the oxidative status and mitochondrial function in the kidney is also observed. If these results are validated in future clinical trials, a new preventive treatment for this disease would be available.
In the two published studies, the scientific team uses the intestine organoid as a model, a three-dimensional structure similar to mini-intestines created in the laboratory from stem cells. Deciphering the functioning of some transcription factors in the formation of the intestine has been the objective of the team.

A collaboration has been signed between the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, and Vivan Therapeutics to jointly develop molecules that recognize more than one target for personalized treatment of colorectal cancer.
The local person in charge of the congress is Dra. Mònica Povedano, coordinator of the Motor Neuron Disease Functional Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital (HUB) and principal researcher of the research group on Neurological and Neurogenetic Diseases of IDIBELL.
Researchers from the Respiratory Infections and Immunocompromised Host group at IDIBELL and the Bellvitge University Hospital have shown that monotherapy with a 3rd generation cephalosporin is effective and safe as a treatment for this serious infectious disease. These results will change international recommendations for its management.
