By studying the role of lysosomes in mitosis, an IDIBELL and UB group discovers that alterations in the separation of chromosomes cause a detectable nucleus morphology once mitosis has finished. This morphology would be useful to identify cells that have chromosomal instability inherent in cancer cells.
Patients with this syndrome have more mutations in the microsatellite regions of the genome. The detection of these mutations improves the diagnosis and therapeutic management of patients.
The study, published in the Nature Communications journal, and led by the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI), has had the collaboration of researchers from IDIBELL/ICO and HUB.
This study demonstrates the beneficial effect of treatment with a cocktail drug at low doses to block a single signaling pathway in a lung cancer type.

The emergence of COVID-19 and the situation of confinement motivated a project that aimed to promote knowledge and research on different aspects related to viruses, the human body
The study shows that the involvement of certain genes that predispose to cancer also affects the immune system, which could facilitate tumor growth.
In the specific case of breast cancer, the involvement of the SH2B3 gene, corresponding to a lymphocyte protein, increases the predisposition to develop cancer.
The epidemic caused by the new coronavirus has negatively impacted millions of people around the world. Confinement has forced citizens to drastically change the way of relating, working and understanding everyday reality. To evaluate various parameters related to health and habits before and after confinement, the Psychiatry research group of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute
