A team of the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona has participated in the design of the first photoactive drug, light-activated drug –the JF-NP-26, for the treatment of pain, according to a research with animal models published in the journal eLife. The new...
Huntington’s disease could alter neurons since they start developing, according to a study conducted by the international HD iPSC Consortium. The Consortium counts with the participation of the team of the Laboratory of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine of the Department of Biomedicine of the...
Thanks to the cells of a patient with a rare neurodegenerative disease -the Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS)- researchers from the Institute of Neurosciences of the UB and IBEC have created a cellular model of neurons showing other neurodegenerative processes which so far had not been related...
Researchers of the Institute of Neurosciences have studied the influence of immersive virtual reality (IVR) on racial bias. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, has used this technology to analyse the effects of immersion on a virtual person in automatic behaviours towards other...
A team of researchers of the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have identified a possible mechanism to slow the neurodegenerative progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s neuronal degeneration is caused by Lewy bodies, abnormal aggregates created...
