A study published in Science identifies the complementary role of the main families of neurons in representing the environment. The work, coordinated by Dr. Manuel Valero, head of the Neural Computation Laboratory at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, presents an open-access tool to analyze neuronal diversity. The tool is already freely available and can be applied to the study of other brain regions and of diseases such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy, major depression, and Down syndrome, paving the way for more specific therapeutic strategies.

Inhibiting a specific gene, MET, in combination with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy, enhances treatment efficacy and limits tumor growth in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The study, led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, analyzed the effect of MET inhibition in mouse models and studied gene expression in patient tumor samples. The results are published in Cell Reports Medicine. Researchers aim to pursue this line of research with a clinical trial involving patients.

70% of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) cases go undiagnosed. Now, a study led by Hospital del Mar and the Hospital del Mar Research Institute has validated ten metabolites that are altered in patients with this disease. These metabolites can be identified through a simple blood test, which opens the door to their use in future population-based screening for suspected COPD. The study used artificial intelligence tools to determine which of these molecules yielded the most accurate results.
