A dietary compound that increases longevity and protects against Alzheimer's pathology in experimental models
A dietary compound that increases longevity and protects against Alzheimer’s pathology in experimental models
It is the carotenoid phytoene, which is found in foods such as tomatoes, carrots, apricots, red peppers, oranges, tangerines or passion fruit, among others. Researchers from the Color and Food Quality group of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Seville, in collaboration with Marina Ezcurra's group at the University of Kent (UK), have demonstrated that the carotenoid phytoene increases the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and that it can slow the onset of paralysis associated with the formation of amyloid plaques in a model of Alzheimer's disease.

Prehistoric craftsmen created fake amber beads
Prehistoric craftsmen created fake amber beads
A US research team unveils this practice, which was intended to meet the demand in places where amber was scarce. A study by the QUANTAS research group of the University of Seville has revealed that prehistoric communities in Spain and Portugal developed the first known composite to simulate amber, reflecting the development of complex technical systems by these Neolithic artisans in regions where amber was scarce.

IBiS develops new tools for spina bifida prevention research
IBiS develops new tools for spina bifida prevention research
IBiS research has discovered new phenotypes of neural tube defects in the loop-tail mouse model resistant to folic acid supplementation. These findings not only broaden our understanding of the disease, but provide valuable tools for future research into the prevention of conditions such as spina bifida.

New method for mass production of microfibers
New method for mass production of microfibers
Professors from the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Fluid Mechanics of the School of Engineering of the University of Seville have developed a method for mass production of microfibers -very thin fibers-, which have numerous applications, for example, they are used to manufacture masks and PPEs, regenerate tissues, for energy generation and storage systems or for the so-called "smart fabrics".

The generation of new species from holocentric chromosomes
The generation of new species from holocentric chromosomes
In the paper, published in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution , the researchers argue that individuals with different cytotypes are able to mate with each other. This makes organisms with holocentric chromosomes model organisms for studying chromosomal evolution and speciation processes. Professor Antonio Marcial Escudero , from the Department of Plant Biology and Ecology of the US , together with two colleagues from the University of Basel (Switzerland), have studied the processes of creation of new species depending on the chromosome types of the original species.
