A group of genes could anticipate the response to a key breast cancer treatment

A study coordinated from Badalona by IrsiCaixa, the Catalan Institute of Oncology and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (within the CARE programme) has identified KIMA, a genomic signature that makes it possible to anticipate which patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer will respond less well to CDK4/6 inhibitors. The finding, published in the journal Clinical and Translational Medicine, may help personalize therapies and design new combinations.

A new European study with the participation of GCAT reveals that the combination of urban environmental factors increases asthma risk

Researchers from GCAT have taken part in a study on the effects of various environmental factors on the risk of developing asthma over the course of life. The study involved nearly 350,000 participants from European cohorts and used geolocation technologies and satellite imagery to estimate exposure to different environmental elements. The results show a clear link between urban conditions and an increased risk of asthma.

New insights into heart scar tissue could improve treatment after heart attacks

A team of researchers from the IGTP has taken a step forward in understanding the complex structure of heart scars that form after a myocardial infarction. Using a porcine model, the group found an association between specific electrical patterns and structural characteristics of the scar, offering a new approach that may guide more targeted and effective treatments for arrhythmias. The results have been published in the journal Heart Rhythm.

Women more susceptible to certain subjective effects of alcohol during binge drinking episodes

A study led by IGTP and HUGTiP finds that women feel stronger effects from binge drinking, even at equal blood alcohol levels. The research also warns that mixing alcohol with energy drinks does not reduce impairment and may encourage risky behaviour.
