Spanish scientists successfully generate «artificial bones» from umbilical cord stem cells

Granada-based researchers patent a new biomaterial based on an activated carbon cloth support that acts as scaffolding for the construction of cells capable of bone regeneration Although their results were obtained ‘ex vivo’, in the future they could help manufacture medicines to treat neoplastic, traumatic or degenerative bone pathologies After obtaining artificial bone in the… Seguir Leyendo Spanish scientists successfully generate «artificial bones» from umbilical cord stem cells

Exercising during pregnancy reduces the risk of high birth weight newborns and of caesarean delivery

The British Journal of Sports Medicine recently published the conclusions of a study by researchers at the University of Granada, Polytechnic University of Madrid and European University of Madrid The researchers found that moderate-intensity exercise three times a week during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy halves the risk of having a newborn baby… Seguir Leyendo Exercising during pregnancy reduces the risk of high birth weight newborns and of caesarean delivery

Choline intake improves memory and attention-holding capacity

The benefits of this vitamin B source have been demonstrated in an experimental study in rats conducted by scientists at the University of Granada (Spain), Simón Bolívar University (Venezuela) and the University of York (UK). Choline is found in foodstuffs of animal origin, like eggs and chicken or beef liver, and in vegetable sources like… Seguir Leyendo Choline intake improves memory and attention-holding capacity

Researchers identify potential disease-transmission sources in animal species by calculating risk to humans with mathematical tools used to study social networks

Spanish and US scientists propose a new criterion to identify disease-transmission agents in an article published in the prestigious journal PNAS Their study could make an important contribution to predicting the species most likely to cause future pandemics Spanish and US scientists have successfully identified animal species that can transmit more diseases to humans by… Seguir Leyendo Researchers identify potential disease-transmission sources in animal species by calculating risk to humans with mathematical tools used to study social networks

New acne treatment patent. Natural substance-based formula is more effective than artificial compounds

Scientists at the University of Granada have developed a new topical treatment formula that does not create bacteria resistance and has no secondary effects The principle ingredient in the new formula—patented through the Office for the Transfer of Research Results (Otri)—is a circular-structured, 70 amino acid protein known as AS-48 University of Granada scientists have… Seguir Leyendo New acne treatment patent.
