One of the advantages it offers is that it is not rejected and is easily fixed to the tissue where it is implanted. It would avoid removing bone tissue from another part of the patient’s own body or using donor bones to repair any bone defect.
They are mouse embryods (in the blastocyst phase) for whose creation he has used iPS cells. The advance will allow to study, without having to use natural embryos nor gametes, the development of the first embryonic stages, the causes of miscarriages or the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and it will provide valuable information for the creation of human organs for transplants. The research has been developed by the team of scientists led by Dr. Juan Carlos Izpisua, director of the Gene Expression Laboratory of the Salk Institute, in the US, and Professor of Developmental Biology at the UCAM.
Pablo Marcos-Pardo, researcher of the Catholic University of Murcia received in Madrid the honour as coordinator of the network ‘HEALTHY-AGE: Active ageing, exercise and health’<br /> <br />
Through its Faculty of Sport, it will analyse and make proposals, together with institutions from thirteen European Countries, on how to improve in this field through marketing, administration, physical activity inside and outside school, the adaptation of sport for people with disabilities or as a tool for the inclusion of refugees.
Juan Carlos Izpisua, professor of Developmental Biology at the UCAM encourages UCAM students to do research
"The constant support by the UCAM is something unusual because in our country research is not considered important, and this makes me proud of these four years of collaboration”. This is one of the ideas highlighted by Juan Carlos Izpisua, professor extraordinary of Developmental Biology of the UCAM, throughout the presentation of the project ‘Collaboration UCAM-Primafrio: an example of scientific patronage’ that was held this afternoon in Los Jerónimos Campus.
The research team led by the Professor of the Gene Expression Laboratory of the Salk Institute, in the US, and Professor of Developmental Biology of the UCAM has observed, after testing the technique (SATI) in mice with progeria (premature ageing), a rejuvenation in various tissues, including skin and spleen, and 45% increase in their lifespan, which would be equivalent to more than a decade in case of humans. The advance has been published by the scientific journal Cell Research.
The UCAM has collaborated in the study 'PASOS', carried out by the Gasol Foundation, through its Research Centre on High Performance Sport, coordinating the project in Murcia, Alicante and Albacete.
The groups BIO-HPC and UKEIM of the UCAM obtain two new projects co-financed by the Séneca Foundation.
<br /> The final objective of the new business will be to investigate the development of new probiotics for the design of functional products, that have positive benefits in the health of the people<br /> Furthermore, these last generation probiotics will be proportioned to the Central Institute of Asturian Dairy for Personalized Nutrition, which allows them to continue developing new targets<br />
