Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and Yale University (USA) have published a comprehensive review article in the journal Cell that proposes a new framework for understanding neutrophils, the most abundant cells of the immune system.

A team from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Institute of Neurosciences at the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has applied advanced artificial intelligence techniques to better understand why Huntington's disease can begin at very different ages in patients. This hereditary neurodegenerative condition, which causes motor, cognitive, and psychiatric impairments, is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene, which encodes the huntingtin protein.

Researchers at the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), a joint centre of the University of Valencia (UV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), have studied the effects o

The Research Group on Prevention and Health in Exercise and Sport (PHES) of the University of Valencia, led by Professor Juan Carlos Colado, has published a study in the International Journal of Spor

A new observation by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), with the participation of the University of Valencia, reveals in detail the turbulent structure of the magnetic field within the jet of material accelerated from a supermassive black hole. This finding provides an unprecedented insight into the physics of supermassive black holes, considered the most powerful -enginesin the universe.

Researchers describe how tomato genes communicate to resist drought and improve fruit quality A study by the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio), a joint centre of the University of Valencia and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), together with the Millennium Nucleus Phytolearning (Chile), has deciphered how tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) genes communicate with one another to coordinate essential processes such as fruit ripening and drought response.

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates). This is one of the most notable conclusions of a study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution , which expands our knowledge of the mechanisms governing genomic regulation and biological evolution.

Researchers from the University of Valencia (UV) and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), among other research centres, have for the first time analysed Mediterranean cave art in situ using a technique that combines the use of smartphones and a portable X-ray fluorescence device, at the archaeological site of Cocó de la Gralla (Mas de Barberans, Tarragona).
