Researchers discover a key factor that predicts COVID-19 disease severity
A study led by Drs. Laia Alsina and Iolanda Jordan from the IRSJD evidences a key factor that predicts the severity of COVID-19: an alteration of the first immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, in key molecules in the anti-infective response. The study has been published in open access in the journal iScience.
New tool to predict severity in Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia, a rare disease
An international team led by Dr Àngels García Cazorla, a researcher at the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu and a pediatric neurologist at the SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital, has presented a new approach to nonketotic hyperglycinemia that can predict the severity in affected children. The study was published in the journal Annals of Neurology.
Findings on how gen ‘YWHAZ’ can alter neuronal development
Dr. Bru Cormand and Noèlia Fernàndez (IRSJD) led a research study where reveals the molecular mechanisms to explain how the YWHAZ gene -related to psychiatric and neurological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia- can alter the neurodevelopmental process.
The hidden cells behind B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapse spotlighted for the first time
