Inactivation of the B2M gene is recurrent in lung cancer and may condition the response to immunotherapy

Researchers from the Genes and Cancer research group at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) have identified inactivating mutations in a number of genes that code for HLA-I histocompatibility complex proteins, which are involved in the immune response and can condition the tesponse of lung cancer patients to immunotherapy. The study is a result of

A bronchial GPS based on digital imaging for the early detection of lung cancer

Researchers at the Center for Computer Vision and Bellvitge Hospital – IDIBELL have developed a technology that allows physicians to locate and move around the patients’ bronchi following a planned and localized route thanks to augmented reality techniques, video games and 3D modeling. The objective of this collaboration is to improve the existing technology in

Researchers describe the causes of resistance of tumor cells to therapy with mTOR inhibitors

Researchers from the proCURE ICO-IDIBELL breast cancer research group have first described why tumors adapt to and resist therapy with mTOR inhibitors, a treatment used in advanced stages of this cancer. The results of this international study, published in the journal Oncogene, sets new steps towards a more personalized selection of cancer therapies. The mTOR

Researchers identify new suppressor effects of the NOX4 protein in liver cancer

Researchers of the TGF-beta and Cancer group of Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), in collaboration with King’s College London, have unveiled the role of NADPH oxidase NOX4 as an inhibitor of the epithelial-amoeboid transition, a process that contributes to the migration and invasion of tumor cells. The study has just been published in the journal
