Snails are known for their interesting ability to accumulate and detoxify heavy metals. They have the ability to accumulate cadmium (a very toxic element) in a way that is innocuous when captured by metallothioneins, a family of proteins. Researchers from...
Some of the memories currently used in electronic devices are based on ferroelectric insulating materials that permit non-volatile storing of information. However, they contain toxic oxides, such as lead-compounds. Researchers from the ICMAB-CSIC have replaced these...
At the end of the Neolithic Era there was a coexistence of several funerary practices in the Iberian Peninsula: sepulchral caves, megalithic monuments and open-air pit...
Researchers from Computer Vision Center (CVC) and Digestive Endoscopy Unit from Hospital Clinic de Barcelona have jointly developed image processing tools which allow an automatic...
Researchers from the UAB have analysed over one thousand public primary education schools in Catalonia to study what motivates parents to choose a particular school. They have also studied how this election influences the quality...
The Proteomics Laboratory CSIC/UAB has developed a method for large-scale protein digestion (LFASP) and demonstrated the applicability of this method to the study of the ubiquitinome. LFASP is currently being used to investigate ubiquitinome...
Researchers from the Department of Basic, Evolutionary and Educational Psychology participate in a European project, IMPACT, to develop a roadmap that, from schools, will allow to identify and motivate young people who do not...
The Organizational Development Group of the UAB have analyzed the factors which foster the acquisition of optimal professional skills during the practicum of early childhood and primary education teachers. The study points to some of the...
Since January 2017, the Research Group in Sport Psychology (Grup d’Estudis en Psicologia de l’Esport, GEPE) of the UAB, participates in the project ‘Be a Winner in elite sports and Employment before and after athletic Retirement’ (short:...
Researchers from the UAB and the ICN2 have developed gold nanoparticles conjugated to Cetuximab antibody, an antitumor drug used in the treatment of different tumours. Nanoconjugates substantially increased the effect of Cetuximab by reducing the...
