RegenBell researchers generate heart tissue by 3D bioprinting for the first time

For the first time, a RegenBell research team has generated via 3D bioprinting a patch of heart tissue that survives and beats correctly for at least one month after implantation.
Thanks to technological advances, basic research with a clinical orientation and collaboration among groups, RegenBell opens up new therapeutic avenues for cardiovascular diseases.

Researchers describe a cellular map of the pancreas that will help design better treatments against pancreatic cancer and diabetes

Researchers from IDIBELL and the UB identify 15 new cell populations in the pancreas.
Led by Dr. Meritxell Rovira thanks to the CRIS Program of Excellence 2023, this new study will provide a better understanding of how pancreatic cancer develops.

A study describes how insulinomas, a rare type of pancreatic beta cell tumour, form

The cause is a change in the epigenetic pattern of the beta cells of the pancreas, which overexpress oncogenes and genes related to insulin production, thus altering their functioning. This change in pattern, a common factor in the vast majority of tumours, is due to the accumulation of different mutations in genes involved in the regulation of gene expression.

Dr. Meritxell Rovira, awarded with the “CRIS de Excelencia” Program to study pancreatic cancer

The scientist from P-CRM[C], IDIBELL and the University of Barcelona will lead a project aimed at identifying new early detection markers and developing personalized medicine strategies for this pathology.
The recognition granted by the CRIS Foundation against cancer aims to promote and consolidate the careers of researchers with an endowment of up to 1,250,000 euros.
In this call, grants totaling 11.4 million euros have been awarded to ensure that advances in research have a broader reach and impact the treatments received by patients.
