Repairing the brain after a stroke

Stroke remains the leading cause of disability in older adults and claims over half a million lives each year in the EU. But what if the key to recovery lies within us? Arthur Liesz is exploring how the body’s immune system might be guided to…

How pregnancy reshapes a mum’s brain

Pregnancy reshapes the brain in profound ways, yet the neural, hormonal, and psychological changes preparing women for motherhood remain poorly understood. ERC grantee Òscar Vilarroya investigates these transformations, exploring how the brain…

CNIO researchers propose a new treatment for brain metastasis

CNIO researchers have discovered that cancer perverts certain brain cells, the astrocytes, and causes them to produce a protein that works in favour of the tumour. A drug, silibinin, inhibits this protein, and could be used to help treat brain…

New mutation linked to early-onset Parkinsonism

A team of scientists led by Professor Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven) has identified a new genetic mutation that may cause a form of early-onset Parkinsonism. The mutation, located in a gene called SGIP1, was discovered in an Arab family with a…
