Spanish, Portuguese researchers seek the key to combat leukaemia

Description

Salamanca, Spain, Feb 20 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Spanish and Portuguese researchers from Salamanca, Spain, and Coimbra, Portugal, have launched IDIALNET, a research network aiming the study of diagnosis and early prevention of leukemia.FOOTAGE OF RESEARCHERS.SOUNDBITES OF JULIA ALMEIDA, PROFESSOR AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE IN UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA AND COORDINATOR OF THE PROJECT:“Recently, the therapeutic strategies have radically changed in the sense of the treatment, which is aimed at molecules or molecular mechanisms, mechanisms related to the signals of altered molecules that can be typically seen with leukemia. So we are personalising or trying to personalise the treatment of these kinds of illnesses.”

Spanish researchers transform cells into neurons able to repair vision problems

Madrid, Apr 7 (EFE), (Camera: EFE)- A team of Spanish researchers has succeeded for the first time in transforming a certain type of nervous system cells into neurons capable of repairing some sensory circuits of sight or hearing who were damaged in the early stages of life. Scientists have shown that it is possible to obtain specific neurons in a region of the brain from "astrocytes", a type of cells in the nervous system that carry out functions that are very important for the brain. The results of the work, carried out by the Institute of Neurosciences — a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council and the University Miguel Hernández in Elche,— were published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.FOOTAGE OF RESEARCHERS.

Group of researchers seek to find the secrets of earth ancient's story

Cerro Guido, Chile, Apr 1 (EFE), (Camera: Felipe Trueba).- A valley at the southern tip of Chile, dubbed the “Rosetta Stone” of paleontology in the Southern hemisphere, is providing an international team of researchers with new findings of well-preserved fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants from the Cretaceous period that could be the key to unlocking the secrets of life and the planet at the end of the dinosaur era.The research by the group of geologists, paleobotanists and biologists in Las Chinas valley, located on a sprawling estate normally used for cattle farming that houses a treasure trove of fossils at the end of the continent, is also shedding light on the common past shared by South America and Antarctica, as the director of the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH) and director of this long-term paleontological expedition, Marcelo Leppe, tells epa-efe.FOOTAGE OF THE RESEARCH.SOUNDBITES OF MARCELO LEPPE, DIRECTOR OF THE PALEONTOLOGICAL EXPEDITION:“It's an iconic place with a lot of animal and plant species and microfossils that are helping us elucidate an unknown area of natural history."“We have some of America's oldest mammals in this valley and the oldest in Chile. But its value is not only due to its age, it’s that these are pieces that were missing which have revolutionized our thinking, and allowed us to rattle the cage of our understanding of the evolution of mammals in the cretaceous period."
