“Cuestionan el uso de antioxidantes para tratar las lesiones medulares”
Yesterday’s press release about Arnau Hervera and José Antonio del Río’s work, together with Imperial College, that was published in Nature Cell Biology and described their discovery that oxidizing species regulate the regeneration of damaged neurons after spinal cord injuries, was covered in ABC and El Progreso today.
Oxidation necessary for recovery after spine injuries
Researchers at IBEC, in collaboration with Imperial College London, have discovered that oxidizing species – chemicals such as peroxides that form during the metabolism of oxygen – regulate the regeneration of damaged neurons after spinal cord injuries.
Anti-inflammatories and antioxidants: these are the treatments usually given to nerve or spinal injury patients to mitigate the damage. When a nerve is injured, inflammation occurs and the immune system is activated,

A mechanism that regulates neurogenesis in the adult brain
Scientists from IBEC’s Molecular and Cellular Neurobiotechnology group have discovered a protein and its receptor that control the spread of adult stem cells in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory.
The discovery could shed light on the mechanisms involved in memory, the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers, or in the development of brain tumors caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of various cell types.
Indian extravaganza kicks off new series of joint cultural events
Last Thursday evening saw the PCB’s Dolors Aleu room transformed into a riot of colour and sound when the Manipuri Dance Group from India took over the stage.
More than 120 people from the various organizations of the PCB enjoyed the spectacle of dance and music, which showcased six traditional Indian dances from the country’s northeastern Manipur region. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed some Indian food provided by the restaurant Zeeshan.
