New advances in the analysis of the mechanisms that explain the dual role of TGF-beta in hepatocellular carcinoma

The results show that a protein, NADPH oxidase NOX4, which had been described as a mediator of TGF-beta-induced cell death, also participates in the pro-tumorogenic response to this factor, specifically mediating its pro-migratory and invasive effects.

First assessment of individual brain heterogeneity in mental disorders

The analysis of brain involvement at an individual level has shown that there is a great heterogeneity in the affected regions in individuals with the same clinical diagnosis. In contrast, alterations in neural circuits and networks involving different regions are common among various mental disorders and could therefore become useful as diagnostic markers.
