The CUPISCO study, the largest to date on cancer of unknown primary, reveals that molecularly guided therapy is more effective than standard chemotherapy in cancer cases with an unfavorable prognosis.
Researchers from IDIBELL, CIC bioGUNE, CIBEREHD and IRB Barcelona demonstrate that iron accumulation is an important factor in the progression of liver fibrosis and cellular senescence. The study suggests that the administration of iron chelators could be an effective strategy to slow down or prevent liver fibrosis.
Dr Albert Antolin from IDIBELL and ICO highlights the relevance of multidisciplinarity and teamwork for the advance of chemical biology research, a field that is opening new paths in drug discovery and precision medicine.

Dr. Molina has received one of the ERS Mid-Career Gold Medals Award, which recognizes both an already consolidated outstanding research career and the work potential still ahead of a respiratory diseases specialist.
A research group from IDIBELL just published in JAMA Network Open the first article linking these two phenomena: based on a complete statistical analysis, scientists have found that on those days when air pollution increases the most, more antibiotics are prescribed.
For the first time, scientists link air pollution to the use of antibiotics Read More »
The tool, developed by IDIBELL, ICO and CIBERONC researchers, facilitates a more precise and uniform genetic variants classification, a key to making clinical decisions in patients with suspected cancer and to improving attention to patients and their families
Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, this trial has confirmed the benefits of a drug, finerenone, in an important segment of heart failure cases. The study included more than 6,000 patients from 50 countries and, in Spain it has been coordinated by IDIBELL and Bellvitge Hospital.

Researchers from IDIBELL and the UB create a cell-by-cell map of the pancreas ducts and identify 15 new cell populations in the pancreas. THe results will provide a better understanding of how pancreatic cancer develops and will help find treatments for diabetes.
According to the study published in Nature Communications, the use of multiple quantitative PCR increased etiological diagnoses and reduced the time needed to achieve them, decreasing too the time to conversion from intravenous to oral treatment, although no reduction in antibiotic consumption was observed.
