International research centre devoted to offering biomedical solutions to cure #cancer and other diseases linked to #aging. @iCERCA center, member of @_BIST.
Named Petosemtamab, the antibody MCLA-158 prevents the onset of #metastasis (that is, the spread of #cancer to other vital organs) and slows the growth of primary tumours in experimental models of cancer. 
The system is called Targeted Cancer Therapy for You (TCT4U), and it's aimed at predicting tumour response to different treatments.💊
In June, @Eduard_puig, @SoniaCiudad and Natalia Carulla, among others, revealed the specific ensembles of Aβ protein that have the capacity to disrupt the membrane of neurons, causing their death.
“The activation of innate immunity in cancer has recently become an active area of research as it has become clear that the innate immune response influences chemotherapy and immunotherapy,” comments @genstability, who recently took up a new position at @theNCI.
La #boirademutacions té lloc quan la cèl·lula està en un procés de reparació de l'ADN i, alhora, els enzims APOBEC (per fer front als virus) estan actius.
The 'normal' DNA repair process can become coupled to the APOBEC enzyme–typically used by human cells to defend against viruses and trigger this #mutationfog.
Of 614 cell lines, approx. 60% greatly conserve the characteristics of the tumour of origin, another 20% maintain some resemblance. The remaining 18% differ considerably from the tumour that they supposedly represent. #IRBScience
The work has been published in the journal @nature.
La ronda ha sido liderada por @AsabysPartners y cuenta con la participación de @_AltaLS, @YsiosCapital, FundPlus Belgium y BPI France. La empresa centra su actividad en el desarrollo de un nuevo medicamento para el tratamiento del cáncer metastásico.
Some bacterial pathogens cause damage in the genomes of infected cells that can lead to the initiation of #cancer. Specifically, this study shows how colibactin, associated with certain strains of E. coli, could create a specific DNA damage in infected human colorectal cells. 
Gràcies a tots els #científics i els #tècnics que de forma voluntària han anat a cuidar cada dia els nostres🐀animals i garantir així la nostra #recerca en aquests temps de crisi i confinament. Sense vosaltres l'activitat de l'@IRBBarcelona se n'hagués pogut ressentir.
👨🔬Al lab d'en @xsalvatella1, investigador de l'@IRBBarcelona, estudien la malaltia de Kennedy, una malaltia neuromuscular minoritària causada per una mutació en el receptor d'andrògens. Aquest estiu van identificar una possible diana terapèutica.
#Chemotherapies have transformed the treatment of #cancer, allowing the survival of many patients. Some of these therapies kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA🧬. However, these drugs can also harm the healthy cells and produce long-term side effects.
El projecte de l’Eduard Batlle (@BatlleLab), investigador @icreacommunity de l'@IRBBarcelona i membre de @CIBERONC, i dels investigadors Holger Heyn (@cnag_eu) i Xavier Trepat (@IBECBarcelona) proposa estudiar com alguns tumors són capaços d'evadir el sistema immune. 
El dissabte 26 hi ha 2 tallers per a nens👦👧 d'entre 7 i 12 anys:
Según la @aecc_es, en 2019 se han diagnosticado 33.307 nuevos casos de cáncer de mama. "Es necesario seguir investigando porque será lo que logre curar al 100% la enfermedad”, dicen Teresa Blasco y @criispuig, científicas del @IRBBarcelona. #súmatealrosa
Aquesta nit🌜 alguns dels nostres investigadors 👩🔬👨🔬 us explicaran el seu treball de recerca en les microxerrades que tindran lloc a diverses localitzacions de la ciutat. Entra a l'enllaç i hi trobaràs tota la informació.
