The most effective conservation strategies for protecting vertebrates on a global scale are those aimed at mitigating the effects of overexploitation, habitat loss and climate change, which are the most widespread threats with the greatest impact across the planet. This is one of the main conclusions of an article led by researchers Pol Capdevila, from the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) at the University of Barcelona, and Duncan O'Brien, from the University of Bristol (United Kingdom).

Researchers investigate how mutation of MECP2 gene, the main cause of Rett syndrome, interferes with neuronal maturation Researchers from the Department of Cell Biology and Functional Biology of the

Six research institutions, including the University of Valencia (UV), have developed a new procedure that will enable brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to be carried out more easily, more rapidly and with higher quality, thereby facilitating the diagnosis of neurological disorders.

When the amount of cholesterol in the blood is too high, hypercholesterolemia can develop, causing serious damage to the arteries and cardiovascular health. Now, a study led by the University of Barcelona and the University of Oregon presents a new therapeutic tool capable of regulating blood cholesterol levels and thus opening up new perspectives in the fight against atherosclerosis caused by the accumulation of lipid plaques in the artery walls.
