An international research involving ICTA-UAB scientists shows how local and indigenous knowledge can help manage ecosystems and wildlife. The study is published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
A study conducted by the UAB certifies that despite the presence of microplastics in deep-sea shrimp, the amounts detected do not cause any types of health problems. The research coincides with other studies pointing to the fact that there is no danger for human consumption, either.
The study concludes that specific rare mutations in the FANCM gene predisposes the body to develop ER-negative and triple negative breast cancers, considered to be the most aggressive and with the worst prognosis.
The nanoparticle targets only leukemic cells. The receptor for this nanoparticle is expressed in 20 types of cancer and associated with a poor prognosis, so this drug could open a new therapeutic pathway for other tumors.
The UAB and the UAB Research Park will be offering COViDeació training workshops on 22 and 23 July with the aim of generating and validating research and innovation solutions to the social challenges posed by COVID-19.
In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes, with participation of the UAB, detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. With further analyses, the MAGIC scientists could confirm whether the speed of light is constant in vacuum or dependent on energy.
