The Gene Expression and Eukaryotic Cell Regulation Research Group of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department of Biosciences Faculty (UAB), have proposed a new model for the molecular evolution of a part of the H1 multigenic family...
Protein misfolding and aggregation is associated with numerous degenerative human disorders such as type-II-diabetes or Alzheimer’s disease. In previous research we identifieda threshold abovewhich a cell began to actively accumulate protein aggregates. The data obtained in this new...
World Mental Health Day is held annually on the 10th of October, to raise awareness and inform on mental health issues and win support. At the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the group of researchers that make up the CORE-Mental Health network are...
In recent years many devices have been developed to detect very small concentrations of elements, compounds or substances, such as biosensors, which are based on biological recognition systems. The authors of this study have developed a particular type of biosensor, that uses aptamers, for...
The Institute of Neurosciences of the UAB investigates several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since its creation, the institute has made important contributions to basic and clinical research,...
Due to the similarity of certain proteins from pathogenic fungi and human proteins, current antifungals are usually directed to characteristics that are present in the pathogen but absent in humans. A study has...
UAB researchers have participated in a research published in the journal Neuron, that has studied how changes in the neurons binding process, called synapses, affect learning and memory in the Alzheimer's disease early stages of development. This research will allow a better...
