The prestigious virologist and immunologist at the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has had a great scientific and informative relevance on the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection and the vaccines that have been developed during the pandemic.
UAB Plant Biology researchers participate in the PALVIP project (Alternative Protection of Interregional Plant Productions of the Pyrenees), to develop biocontrol products adapted to Mediterranean crops and promote...
The biocatalytic enzyme industry has a promising future, since these enzymes allow for the synthesis of less polluting products, such as biodiesel, and the improvement of nutritional and organoleptic properties...
Pig farming is the sector with the greatest economic impact in Catalonia. For this reason, it is essential to deepen the understanding of the physiology of this animal. Thanks to a collaboration between the Center for Research in Agrigenomics (CRAG) and the...
An article recently published by CRAG (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) and researchers of the University of Florida shows how modern computational methods can help in the genetic improvement of plant species...
Immobilized enzymes, which are enzymes attached onto solid particles, confer extra rigidity and stability to the three-dimensional structure of the protein and allow an easy separation of the biocatalyst. In this...
Selective drug delivery (nanoconjugates generated by the cell-targeted drug and a nanoscale vehicle) could be a great asset in cancer treatment. Due to biosafety problems of the nanomaterials studied so far, emerging nanobiotechnologies are pushing the development of fully...
Given the high annual demand for energy and its consequent emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide contributing to climate change, it is increasingly necessary to use renewable energy to solve these problems. That is why this new project aims to use biogas to obtain methanol, a renewable clean...
Synchrotron light has been used for the first time to simulate damages due to oxidative stress on the aldose reductase protein with the aim of obtaining its activated form. This form of the protein, related with some...
Interview with Federico Mingozzi, Chief Scientific Officer at Spark Therapeutics, leader company in gene therapy, who was invited by CBATEG to give a seminar entitled “Developing Gene Therapies for Rare Diseases, a...
