The Research Lupus Unit from Vall Hebron Institute Research (VHIR) - UAB has been the first to demonstrate that microRNAs, small molecules of RNA capable of inhibiting and / or modulating gene expression, play a very important role in the lupus cutaneous mechanism of...
Researches of the UAB have developed a new software for the identification of the features of the peptide repertoires presented by HLA class I and HLA-DR molecules to T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes recognize protein fragments...
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common subtype of indolent (generally incurable) lymphoma but patients have a long life expectancy. In fact, it is standard practice to offer routine surveillance imaging to patents in remission after therapy....
Researchers from the UAB and the Institut Català de Nanociència I Nanotecnologia (ICN2) have developed a nanoscale coordination polymer particle (NCP) built using paramagnetic iron(III) metal ions able to exhibit T1 and T2 high contrast potential for the magnetic...
The normal shape for a red blood cell is a bi-concave disc. However, a lot of pathologies are generated by a distortion in this shape due to different causes like a defects in the cell membrane skeletal architecture. Acoustic...
MEDIRAD is a European Commission-funded project that aims to enhance the radiation protection of patients and medical professionals against exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation for medical reasons. This multidisciplinary project will bring together...
Folicular Lymphoma (FL) is divided into 3 different grades. It seems that there is a relationship between the lower grades and some subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), in the form of a biological continuum, with the grade 3 FL (FL3) as an intermediary. Although this...
A study conducted by the UAB Department of Medicine and the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital analyses the effects a high-calorie breakfast early in the morning has on the satifaction and sense of well-being after eating a mid-morning snack...
Researchers from Computer Vision Center (CVC) and Digestive Endoscopy Unit from Hospital Clinic de Barcelona have jointly developed image processing tools which allow an automatic...
The Proteomics Laboratory CSIC/UAB has developed a method for large-scale protein digestion (LFASP) and demonstrated the applicability of this method to the study of the ubiquitinome. LFASP is currently being used to investigate ubiquitinome...
