One out of four lung cancer patients in Andalusia does not receive the radiotherapy they need

A recent study has revealed that 25 % of lung cancer patients treated in Andalusian health care centers do not receive radiotherapy as established by clinical protocols. Researchers warn that failure to provide radiotherapy may be due both, to equipment deficiencies and to the physicians’ preferences. A study conducted by University of Granada and Virgen… Seguir Leyendo One out of four lung cancer patients in Andalusia does not receive the radiotherapy they need

Researchers generate a mutant mouse model useful in the treatment of neuromuscular diseases

Researchers at the University of Granada have produced for the first time in the world mice lacking the coenzyme Q10, a rare mitochondrial disease prevailingly affecting children. The researchers needed three years to complete the study. At three to six months of life, this genetic alteration in mice –similar to that occurred in human– causes… Seguir Leyendo Researchers generate a mutant mouse model useful in the treatment of neuromuscular diseases
