Biodiversity loss stands out as the primary catalyst behind the surge in infectious disease outbreaks, rendering them more dangerous and easily widespread, as revealed by a recent study. The emergence of new infectious diseases, frequently rooted in wildlife, is on an upward trajectory. In a comprehensive meta-analysis published in Nature, scientists identified biodiversity loss as the [...]
A scientific team from Hospital del Mar, in Barcelona, has made a discovery that could change the way we treat breast cancer. It is a type of lymphocyte (white blood cell), which appears to have a crucial role in the fight against this disease. This study, published in the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, [...]
In a recent scientific advance that promises to revolutionize the treatment of spinal cord injuries, a research group from the Madrid Institute of Materials Science (ICMM-CSIC) has developed an innovative and revolutionary hydrogel. This material allows neural cells to be grown under magnetic fields, thus allowing a targeted and efficient approach in the administration of [...]
