Stem Cell Potency group, lead by Dr. Ángel Raya at the P-CMR[C] and IDIBELL, together with three other research teams from IDIBELL, have been awarded by La Marató 3Cat Foundation.
We are pleased to announce the First RegenBell symposium on Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, which will take place on November 27-28th at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, downtown in Barcelona. The primary goal of the symposium is to establish an inclusive and collaborative platform for scientists interested in Regenerative Medicine.
Deciphering the functioning of some transcription factors in the formation of the intestine has been the objective of the team led by Professor Kim Bak Jensen, from the Novo Nordisk Foundation of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW), in which Dr. Jordi Guiu has also participated.
Thanks to the model, the IDIBELL team detected that one of the siblings had an additional genetic variant responsible for the greater severity of the pathology. These models offer the possibility of exploring each patient’s pathology and designing an individualized approach.
The results show that patients with this disorder have abnormal genetic and epigenetic patterns, which could contribute to the development of diverse clinical manifestations, such as compromise the ability of blood cell production.
Dra. M Carolina Florian, group leader at IDIBELL, has been appointed as an ICREA Research Professor. ICREA, the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies, offers permanent, tenured positions to the most talented and extraordinary scientists and academics to come and work in Catalonia. Over the years these positions have become a synonym for global academic excellence.
The project aims to create a collaborative network for induced pluripotency stem cells (iPS) homozygous for the most frequent HLA haplotypes generation.
The work focuses on endogenous blood stem cell rejuvenation as a possible strategy to regenerate tissues and improve the health and life expectancy of the elderly.
The project aims to create a collaborative network for induced pluripotency stem cells (iPS) homozygous for the most frequent HLA haplotypes generation.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, in collaboration with Meritxell Rovira from IDIBELL, the P-CMRC, and the UB show that a recently identified molecule stimulates the formation of new insulin-producing cells in zebrafish and in mammalian tissues.
