A study describes a new way to generate insulin-producing cells
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.
New mural in tribute to Dr. Anna Veiga
The mural is located in the CEIP Pinedo of Valencia and is a piece by the artist Marta Lapeña. This is the mural number 27 of the project with which the UPV and Las Naves are filling the Valencian educational centers with science and art, in feminine.
Begins the exchange program between IDIBELL and SZBL
It begins the selection of candidates to carry out a doctoral program in Regenerative Medicine between the SZBL and the IDIBELL. The program will run mainly at SZBL and will have a minimum six months stay at IDIBELL.
Joint SZBL-IDIBELL PhD Exchange Program (2022 Call)
SZBL and IDIBELL launch their joint PhD Exchange Program call for 2022, with the aim of fostering collaboration in research between both institutions in the field of Regenerative Medicine and providing exceptional training in the field for graduated students by promoting mobility and allowing interaction with outstanding researchers.
The generation of a stem cell-derived neurofibroma model opens the door to new treatments development
Neurofibromas are tumors of the peripheral nervous system, which develop in people with a hereditary disease, and they are the main cause of death among those people.
Nanopolymer treatment prevents the formation of protein aggregates in neurons derived from Parkinson’s patients
One of the hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease is the abnormal accumulation of the α-synuclein protein that causes neuronal death responsible for motor impairments. Dendrimers are highly branched polymers that decrease α-synuclein accumulation in dopaminergic neurons derived from patient stem cells.
Pancreatic beta-cell boost in mice paves way for future diabetes treatments
A research team from IDIBELL, CRG and UB has uncovered the role of a gene that is critical to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells during the early development of the pancreas. The findings could bolster diabetes research efforts and eventually lead to new replacement therapies for the disease.

CRISPR/Cas9 Human Embryo Genome Editing for the Study of Genes Related to Early Embryo Development
Dr. Anna Veiga is leading the project CRISPR/Cas9 human embryo genome editing (GE) for the study of genes related to early embryo development.
P-CMR[C] researchers define a new mechanism of aging in a bone marrow stem cell in women
To equilibrate the gene expression between XX females and XY males, one of female X chromosomes is inactivated. Researchers from IDIBELL Regenerative Program has discovered that this inactivation is affected in bone marrow aged stem cells.
