An IBioBA research group, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, conducted studies to evaluate the effects of antidepressants and found a molecular mechanism that contributes to explain the basis of their functioning and could be the starting point for the development of personalized drugs. The results were published in the journal Molecular…
SPEAKER: Mariano Soiza Reilly (Instituto de Fisiología, Biología Molecular y Neurociencias – IFIBYNE). TITLE: “Understanding neurodevelopmental actions of antidepressants” DATE: Monday, March 21st, 12:00 am. VENUE: Virtual seminar room (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Today we were visited by Ulrich Sante, the German Ambassador in our country, who came accompanied by the advisor for scientific and technological affairs, Matthias Trager. During the visit, they toured the Institute and learned about our lines of research. During the meeting, the director of the Institute, Eduardo Arzt, together with the group leaders…
Interdisciplinary approaches continue to demonstrate its potential: research conducted by our Institute together with the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund revealed that embryonic stem cells process cell differentiation signals through intermittent oscillations. This finding could pave the way for controlled manipulation of cell differentiation processes. As a result of an Argentine-German collaboration…
IBioBA (CONICET – Max Planck Partner) researcher Lucas Pontel and his team have just published a paper in Nature Communications describing a new mechanism of damage caused by a group of carcinogenic compounds known as aldehydes. They identified that formaldehyde attacks the antioxidant defenses of cells, and described the factors that prevent this damage. This…
Sol Fernández Arancibia is a fellow in the Information Processing in Cells and Tissues research group and has just published a paper in the journal Physical Review E describing how a cell makes the decision to initiate (or not) a programmed death process. Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a mechanism of organized and irreversible…
