Quick exploration, accuracy in diagnosis, correct prediction and no harm to newborns. After conducting a research with one hundred babies, these are the strong arguments given by doctors and researchers from the hospitals Parc Taulí (UAB) and Sant Joan de...
The number of migrant associations accessing local official development aid tripled from 1999 to 2008 in Catalonia. Also, the number of municipalities providing financial support to migrant-led development projects duplicated during the same period. This study...
Dark matter and dark energy, in case they exist, would contribute to 96% of the universe's total energy, but no one knows their authentic nature and even less, how they interact. Lecturer of the Department of Physics Diego Pavon recently published, alongside other authors, a review ...
This article explores the contexts and significances of the notion widely disseminated since the middle of the 20th century that humans are essentially a brain, through different examples taken mainly from literary novels and films. The author points out how other characteristics have defied this affirmati
Design of mathematical models based on the study and quantification of the functional traits of plants to help prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems. This is what the article's a...
The most precise description of Nature at the most elemental level is the Standard Model. However, it does leave some relevant questions unanswered. To answer them, physicists pose an even more fundamental theory, generically known as New Physics, which requires observable consequences in order to...
A research group from CRAG discovers that one gene from Arabidopsis thaliana encodes for two essential proteins, one necessary for photosynthesis and another one necessary for embryo development. The next step for the research team will be to analyze if this mechanism...
Researchers from Germans Trial i Pujol University Hospital (IGTP, UAB) have discovered a new approach to treat Multiple Sclerosis that slows down the development of Multiple Sclerosis by reprogramming patients' own blood cells. Approved by the...
It is estimated that, by 2030, obese population will increase to 573 million. Apart from other diseases related to obesity, experts have discovered that the higher the weight of people, the more likely they are to have osteoarthritis....
