This study sheds light on the processes that cause these ailments and possible future treatments. A research team from the Marqués de Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL) and the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital (HUMV) has demonstrated the involvement of a molecule, a peptide known as CGRP, in COVID-19 infection, specifically in headache and diarrhoea, […]
The biocompatibility, stability and reproducibility of this novel method allows its industrial production for uses such as personalized therapy. The Nanomedicine Group of the Marqués de Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL) has designed and optimized a novel method based on nanoparticles capable of encapsulating, storing and transferring genetic material into cells. The procedure is easily […]
Researchers from the IDIVAL neurodegenerative diseases group and the Movement Disorders Unit of the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital (HUMV) have participated in a recent study, promoted by the Clínic Barcelona-IDIBAPS, which has detected alterations in the expression profile of four microRNAs, which could make it possible to detect the onset of genetic Parkinson’s disease […]
