New advances in the search for new medications
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has shown significant interest in improved alternatives to ‘small molecules’ for medication discovery. Within this strategic direction, cyclopeptidic compounds are gaining traction in drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. As explained by researcher Arkaitz Correa from the University of the Basque Country’s Faculty of Chemistry, unlike small molecules…
EHU: Heart disease, cancer or Parkinson’s risk development could be found through saliva analysis
The study led by a team at the EHU has identified hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that can reflect pathological processes in other parts of the body A study conducted by a team at EHU (University of Basque Country) has found hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that may indicate…
The level of agreement among different nutrition labels worldwide is very low
The UPV/EHU’s (University of the Basque Country) Nursing and Health Promotion research group compared seven nutrition labelling schemes in Europe, Oceania and South America and found that they barely coincide when specifying whether cooked foods are healthy. So the researchers concluded that a new system for assessing the food quality of ready meals needs to…
How cells control and govern their movements
The basque researcher, Ildefonso Martínez de la Fuente, has led an exhaustive analysis of the locomotion trajectories of 700 individual cells using advanced scientific techniques to demonstrate that their movements depend on a joint, self-organised action of practically all the physiological processes that make up the cell. This multidisciplinary research, in which various departments of…
Tool for planning the energy renovation of buildings at the Basque Public University
The tool designed by the CAVIAR group of the ‘UPV/EHU’ will help to formulate housing regeneration policies to meet the European Union’s decarbonisation requirements Markel Arbulu has developed a resource to assess whether the strategies for implementing the energy renovation of housing are sustainable from the perspective of environmental and economic sustainability. The simulation tool…
Discovery: The most distant dwarf galaxy detected so far
An international team, including the Ikerbasque research professor of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and associate of Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) Tom Broadhurst, used the high resolution of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) combined with a powerful gravitational lens to conclude that the galaxies that formed in the early universe were…
