Research conducted by the University of Valencia, which included local and national police officers, has revealed a decrease in depression, anxiety and stress. Read More
Domingo C. Salazar, researcher of excellence of the Valencia region at the University of Valencia, is one of the signees of a study published in journal PNAS, which shows that the long-distance trade of exotic foods such as turmeric or bananas reached the Mediterranean around 3,700 years ago, much before it was originally thought. The study of ancient proteins preserved in human plaque reveals that oriental elements and cooking oils were already used back in that era. Read More
Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), in collaboration with specialists from the University of Valencia (UV), have come up with a new system based on a high-sensitivity mass biosensor that continuously monitors signals for the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental aerosols. The device, in prototype phase, makes it possible to assess the quality of the air and allows an early detection of the virus in inside spaces such as homes, classrooms, restaurants, cinemas or means of transportation.

Lecturers of the departments of Physical Therapy and Computing Sciences of the CEU UCH university in Spain have designed predictive systems to identify and prevent the most common causes of injuries of these athletes when running. Read More
Researchers of the CEU UCH University of Valencia, the University of Cordoba and the Pasteur Institute of Paris have detected 23 different strains in these animals, which can act as asymptomatic reservoirs of the bacteria. Read More
Two new technologies developed by the University of Alicante streamline processes that to date were slower to perform, and without even requiring human intervention: the Automated worker presence system and Electronic payment by presence system. Read More
Researchers from The Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio, a joint centre of the University of Valencia and the CSIC), have discovered a new gene family of antimicrobial peptides (small proteins) –the Blattellicins– in a German cockroach (Blattella germanica). The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, may help to understand how these insects can live in unsanitary environments and defend themselves against the fungal and bacterial pathogens they may encounter, thereby avoiding killing the different types of beneficial symbiotic organisms that they harbour.
