Read moreThe analysis of immune system cells in the cerebrospinal fluid can characterise and identify the types of cerebral metastasis that could respond to immunotherapy treatments.
Read moreCiQUS will be involved in REAP, a newly European project to reveal drug tolerant persister cells by contrast enhanced multimodal optical imaging. BioNanoTools, the group led by Beatriz Pelaz, will dev...
Read moreThis work is a collaboration between Núria López-Bigas’ lab at IRB Barcelona and the groups headed by Anna Bigas (Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute) and Josep Maria Ribera (Josep Carrera...
Read moreThe group of ICREA Professor Samuel Sánchez at IBEC leads a work revealing that the self-propelled movement of microrobots depends on the amount of salts, called ionic strength, present in the liquid...
Read moreThe threat of serious deformation triggers a rapid escape reflex that enables cells to move away and squeeze out of tight spaces or crowded tissues.
Read moreDiseases that stem from or are affected by defective amino acid transport, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis or neurodegenerative conditions, may benefit from advances in this field. The work, a coll...
Read moreDuring meiosis, recombination ensures allelic exchanges through crossovers (COs) between the homologous chromosomes. Advances in our understanding of the rules of COs have come from studies of mutatio...
