A team formed by a mathematician, a physicist and a biologist from the UAB, the CRM and the BGSMath has discovered general formulas which realistically describe “bifurcations”, changes which could lead to the survival or extinction of a species within an ecosystem. The formulas could be applied to other dynamic systems. Read more
A research team from the IBB-UAB and the ALBA synchrotron is developing a new vaccine concept to protect farmed fish from the main viral diseases affecting them. The alternative proposed by them is an orally administered nanoparticle. Read more
A research group led by CREAF and with the involvement of the UAB has discovered that the forest with the largest amounts of carbon in Spain are also the ones to harbour more diversity of tree and bird species, and vice versa. The study has given way to a map with the areas in which both properties are highest. Read more
The small SynuClean-D molecule interrupts the formation of the alpha-synuclein amyloid fibres responsible for the onset of Parkinson's disease, and reverts the neurodegeneration caused by the disease. The study was published in PNAS. Read more
Corals devastated by climate change are being replaced naturally by other species such as gorgonians, which are less efficient in acting as a carbon sink. A study by the ICTA-UAB analyzes for the first time why gorgonians are more resistant than corals to human impacts and global climate change. Read more
Researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the UAB and from the United Kingdom, for the first time describe the mechanism used by cells to optimise protein production in stressful situations through the altering of tRNA abundance. Read more
