Seven 3D printers from different departments at the University have started to produce equipment, in particular face masks, which will be distributed to healthcare staff throughout the Tarragona region
A group leaded by de the MedUni Vienna, with the participation of researchers from the URV, has identified a role for the endogenous amino acid arginine in the growth of osteoclasts in rheumatoid arthritis. Restricting the amount of available arginine significantly restricts excessive formation of these harmful, disease promoting cells
The research, led by CNIO and in which URV researchers participate, has found that the FASN enzyme is crucial for one of the essential processes by which a normal cell becomes cancerous. Blocking this enzyme in an animal model slows the onset of tumours and extends their survival
