A research team from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has shown that a one-time administration of a gene therapy expressing the metabolic factor FGF21 can prolong health span in old mice....
Read moreA study led by the INc-UAB suggests that assessing the relationship between two hormones present in both men and women, estradiol and progesterone, could help better understand how memory works.
Read moreA study by the UAB and the IJC demonstrates that SIRT7 is a key regulator of the quality of male germ cells and that the deficiency of this protein during ageing can lead to a functional decline in sp...
Read moreResearchers have identified more than 600,000 microbial proteins capable of breaking down natural and synthetic plastics, revealing a far broader biodegradation potential across microbes than previous...
Read moreA UAB research team defines the criteria that CAR immunotherapies for neurodegenerative diseases must meet to advance both conceptually and in trials, which are still at a very preliminary stage, in a...
Read moreThe European Medicines Agency (EMA) has designated as an orphan drug a compound based on the bioactive lipid molecule Maresin-1 (MaR1), currently being investigated by a research team from the UAB for...
Read moreA research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...
Read moreA study coordinated by the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona proposes a new treatment for glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain tumor. The approach involves patche...
Read moreA research team from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has developed a diagnostic test based on biomarkers for better protection against exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs). The too...
Read moreBy analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson’s disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the UAB has shown that the main immu...
Read moreThe UAB is coordinating BrewSelBar, a European project to develop a selenium-enriched biostimulant using brewer’s spent grain (BSG). The goal is to improve farming by favouring a more sustainable ag...
