Scientists Determine a mechanism that would allow treating more aggressive tumors
The study has proven the viability of this approach by studying in mice the evolution of metastatic colon tumors of human patients
Researchers at IDIBELL-ICO describe a new resistance mechanism to therapies that prevent the formation of blood vessels
The mechanism does not activate the reduction of oxygen in the cells of the tumor, contrary to what common drugs, called anti-angiogenic, usually cause

Brain structure determines individual differences regarding music sensitivity
The white matter structure in the brain reflects music sensitivity, according to a study by the research group on Cognition and Brain Plasticity of the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (UB-IDIBELL). The study, published in Journal of Neuroscience, shows that white matter connectivity, the tissue […]

Researchers identify an amino acid transporter as responsible for the onset of congenital cataracts
The ‘human molecular genetics’ research group of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute, led by Dr. Virginia Nunes (IDIBELL – UB – CIBERER), has participated in a research study demonstrating that the amino acid transporter LAT2 causes congenital cataracts in both animals and humans. This study, published in Frontiers in Physiology, has discovered that LAT2 ablation causes […]
