High blood levels of these fats, both from plant and marine sources, are associated with better use of glucose in the brain of people with a high genetic risk of developing the disease. This is what the results of a new study by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (BBRC), research center of the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, indicate. The research, based on data from 320 participants of the Alfa cohort, promoted by the "la Caixa" Foundation, concludes that nutritional interventions could prevent the disease.

A study published in Science Advances identifies a set of microproteins that are exclusively produced in liver tumors. This makes them a clear target for immune system cells and a potential target for cancer vaccine development. The research was led by the Evolutionary Genomics Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, in collaboration with Cima University of Navarra and Pompeu Fabra University. Various state-of-the-art tools were used to detect and identify these small molecules in samples from over a hundred tumors.

A scientific team led by Dr Anna Bigas, from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the Josep Carreras Institute, has described the role of the IκBα protein in the differentiation process of haematopoietic cells. In the absence of this protein, the stem cells enter quiescence, acquire a dormant state and maintain their potential, which may allow them to be transplanted for therapeutic uses in leukaemia or blood diseases of genetic origin. This is an important step towards being able to generate these types of cells in the lab, preventing them from differentiating and turning into other cells too early.
