  A new molecular mechanism which participates in the cell proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer has been discovered

  

  A study has identified a new molecular mechanism connected with the proliferation and invasion of tumour cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pancreatic cancer (90% of all cases). Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal tumours and the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide.

  A study questions chronic endurance exercise in patients with severe COPD

  

  Although physical exercise has beneficial effects for all, even those diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a new study warns that levels of oxidative stress much higher than those at rest conditions may occur in the leg muscles of patients with severe and very severe COPD. The study was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Esther Barreiro’s group at the Municipal Institute of Medical Research (IMIM-Hospital del Mar), together with Dr. Joaquim Gea, head of the Pneumology service at the Hospital del Mar and with Dr. Josep Roca, Director of the Lung Function Unit at the Hospital Clínic-IDIBAPS.
