At the laboratory of Bacterial Molecular Genetics, from the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine of the UAB, researchers have studied which existing mechanisms of genetic regulation allow some bacteria to retain the ability to develop under...
A research group of the UAB Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine and the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, directed by Francesc Xavier Avilés, is the coordinator of a European project aimed at studying...
A UAB researchers group have just discovered an important event for the biotechnology field. They have found functional proteins inside the bacterial inclusion bodies. That allows to use the bacterial inclusion bodies like biocatalyst when they are formed by enzymes and...
In the 21th Century tuberculosis is still a very important cause of many deaths every year. There are vaccines, but their efficacy is not very high. UAB researchers have collaborated in a research for improving the treatment based in the study of Toll-like receptors. The trials with animal models have demonstrated a role for Toll-like receptors in...
The study of drug interactions is very important for the dessign of new therapeutic strategies. The combination of drugs can enhance their therapeutic action and/or minimize the adverse effects. The authors have established the interaction between a painkiller and two antiemetics widely used in the treatment of postoperative pain and nausea and...
Involuntary shaking of the hands, legs, voice or head. These are symptoms associated with essential tremor, a disorder which while not severe, affects the quality of life of those suffering from it, generally those over 60. One of the drugs that was, up to now, thought of...
Dendrimer is the name of a synthetic molecule which is produced by a nanotechnological process used by various sectors of the applied sciences to carry out their work. Such is the case of a group of researchers at the UAB who use dendrimers as drugs to fight...
