  • Mitochondria-lysosome contacts: a new cell phenotype in neurogenetic diseases

    The Neurogenetics and Molecular Medicine research group of the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu (IRSJD), in collaboration with the Neuromuscular Pathology Unit of the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital (HSJD), has studied the pathophysiology of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial- lysosome contacts in cells from patients with neurogenetic diseases. The article has been published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.

  • First scientific conference on nanotechnology and rare diseases

    The Spanish nanomedicine platform (Nanomed Spain), together with the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute and the IBEC (Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia), organised an event within the framework of the Rare Disease Day at which they presented the latest innovations in the field of nanomedicine for the treatment and diagnosis of these diseases.
