A collaborative effort led by Dr. Anna Bigas, from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, found that the population of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) responsible for the generation and self-renewal of the blood and immune system keeps a long-term undifferentiated state thanks to its ability to physically block its own NOTCH1 receptor through the expression of JAGGED1, a specific NOTCH activator. Authors hypothesise that the lack of this previously unknown mechanism might be the cause for the poor performance of current approaches to generate HSC from induced pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine.

Evidence shows an annual loss of 34.6 million life-years globally due to suicide. In response to this, globally renowned institutions specialized in mental health and suicide research, in collaboration with experts in bioinformatics, have launched PERMANENS, a pioneering European research initiative. The PERMANENS research project is dedicated to create a medical software prototype that supports clinicians in delivering personalized assessments and care to patients arriving at the emergency department with an elevated risk of self-harm or suicide. This precision medicine software will harness the power of artificial intelligence to provide more accurate risk assessments and access to evidence-based information, enabling the identification of effective treatment options tailored to each patient's unique needs and risk profile.
