Although the metagenomics of dental black plague had been studied in children, this first worldwide study in adults will make it possible to make progress in effective treatments for its removal. Read More
Researchers have made it available to the scientific community and companies that produce masks in mass. Read More
The technology has been designed by researchers at the UA Institute of Chemical Process Engineering and consists of an air circulation circuit that individual masks can be connected to. Read More
A research group from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Valencia (UV), in coordination with the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB) of the CSIC, has studied the role of the interactions within the membrane of proteins of viral families Herpesviridae and Poxviridae in the control of programmed cell death. The work, published in Nature Communications, could have implications for the development of treatments for viral infection, as well as the prevention of cancers associated with them. Read More
The study, directed by Isabel Fariñas and published in the November digital edition of the journal Cell Stem Cell, reveals that the inflammation produced by a bacterial infection ‘alerts’ the brain stem cells and prepares their activation for the production of new neurons . The study represents a new advance in the field of regenerative medicine. Read More
The University of Valencia (UV) and Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) have patented a method to detect the patulin toxin in foods by using antibodies. Patulin is produced by several species of fungi, which can contaminate food, especially apples. It is commonly found in products derived from apples, including foods for the child population.

Researchers from the University of Alicante (UA) and Alicante General University Hospital’s Institute for Health and Biomedical Research (ISABIAL) have developed a new non-invasive method for diagnosing and preventing colorectal cancer (CRC) through the analysis of volatile organic compounds in stool samples. It is worth noting that over the course of this project the team has detected three biomarkers related to this tumour. Read More
“The figures revealed by the mathematical model we developed are very concerning, with an incidence that could multiply the peaks from the first wave by seven”, say the study authors. Read More
Lecturers from the University of Valencia, Jose M. Pavía and Ernesto Veres-Ferrer, have developed a method that makes it possible to identify, in real time, when an epidemic issue such as Covid-19 is in remission. The method, explained in a research paper, has been published in the journal Statistics in Medicine. Read More
Researchers of the CEU UCH university in Valencia have published the results of their study on predictive factors for high blood pressure among teenagers, for which they studied the cases of 4,402 youths from the Valencian Community. Read More
