The IFIC develops a technology to better visualise the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the patient’s body
A team from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC/UV-CSIC) is developing a photon detection and imaging system that will allow visualising, during a medical treatment, the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the patient's body. This technology verifies the final destination of the drug and allows a better estimate of the radiation dose received by both the tumour itself and the vital organs.

Researchers identify new genes that modulate the toxicity of the protein --amyloid, responsible for causing Alzheimer’s disease
In the study led by the UPF Molecular Physiology Laboratory, 238 genes have been identified that regulate Alzheimer's disease, including Surf4, which contributes to the disease by altering the regulation of calcium within the cell. An international study led by the Molecular Physiology Laboratory at the UPF Department of Medicine and Life Sciences ( MELIS ) identifies new genes that modulate the toxicity of the protein -amyloid, responsible for causing Alzheimer's disease.

New technology for capturing hyperspectral images patented
New technology for capturing hyperspectral images patented
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has patented a new system for capturing hyperspectral images (those capable of collecting information across the entire electromagnetic spectrum), which can operate in real time and provides a higher resolution than any other existing technology. This development could mean a breakthrough for scientific and industrial applications related to chemical analysis.

Statistics and data science to measure the vital signs of the Earth from satellite
Statistics and data science to measure the vital signs of the Earth from satellite
An international research team led by the University of Valencia manages to automatically identify the most relevant changes that have occurred on planet Earth in the last 10 years and determine whether their causes are natural or anthropogenic. The results of the work, published in National Science Review, are obtained by combining a new statistical method with data from ESA-s SMOS satellite, which regularly provides global maps of soil and vegetation water content.

A 4D printer for smart materials with magneto-and electro-mechanical properties has been developed
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have created software and hardware for a 4D printer with applications in the biomedical field. In addition to 3D printing, this machine allows for controlling extra functions: programming the material's response so that shape-changing occurs under external magnetic field, or changes in its electric properties develops under mechanical deformation.

HERC1 protein deficiency to cause osteopenia
HERC1 protein deficiency to cause osteopenia
Recerca Bones remain healthy thanks to the fact that they are in continuous remodelling, a process that is given by the balance between the activity of osteoblasts —cells that create bone tissue— and the osteoclasts, which reabsorb it. An imbalance between these two can disrupt bone homeostasis and lead to diseases such as osteopenia, i.e. a loss of bone mass.
