Using cellular reprogramming, the team of researchers led by the UCAM Professor of Developmental Biology has managed to rejuvenate mice without generating tumours or any other health related problems. The study is published in the scientific journal Nature Aging
UCAM HiTech, located in the surroundings of the Los Jerónimos Campus and integrated into the National Network of High Technology Incubators, is a technological hub where entrepreneurship and research come together at the service of society. With 2,000 m2 of facilities, the 5.5-million-euro investment has been promoted and financed by the UCAM, and co-financed by FEDER funds, with the collaboration of the Incyde Foundation of the Spanish Chambers of Commerce.
At an event at the COE (Spanish Olympic Committee), the UCAM professor of Developmental Biology explained that these substances, which are from the body itself, make it possible to reduce recovery time by half, increase and prolong the functionality of muscles, both in elite athletes and in the general public.
The study, promoted and financed by the Catholic University, led by its researchers Juan Carlos Izpisua and José Meca, and with the collaboration of the Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, has a clear Murcian stamp.
A team of scientists led by Juan Carlos Izpisúa, director of the Gene Expression Laboratory at Salk Institute in the USA and Extraordinary Professor of Developmental Biology at UCAM, has developed a method, with unprecedented efficiency, that makes it possible to obtain pancreatic β-cells suitable for autotransplantation from human iPS cells.
The results of the study, published today in the Nature Communications journal, represent a major step forward that will benefit athletes and the elderly in particular
The founder of the National Transplant Organisation gave the master class to the students of the 10th edition of the Master’s Degree in Health Services Management and Planning, directed by Dr Mariano Guerrero
The findings on cellular communication hold promise for early human development, disease progression and aging, as well as organ transplantation and for testing therapeutics
It can analyze 96 samples at the same time, identifying Sars-CoV-2 with its variants, influenza viruses, adenoviruses and other human coronaviruses. In only 15 minutes it starts giving results and in three hours it finishes all the samples.
