The findings may help draw attention to the possible causes of a wide range of physical diseases and reinforce efforts to prevent childhood trauma.

A study in mice by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the IIBB-CSIC, published in Science Advances, identifies inhibition of the PARP2 protein as a therapeutic target for treating pancreatic cancer, the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The study analyses the role of this protein in tumour development and protection, and describes how its elimination leads to tumour cell death and activation of the immune System. Specifically blocking this protein may be a useful strategy for treating a large number of patients with pancreatic cancer and could even be applicable to other types of tumours.
