A member of the research group of Dr. Vicente Martinez Awarded Second Prize "Gemma Rosell i Romero"

Ricardo Paricio Montesinos, undergaruate student at the Degree in Biomedical Sciences at the UAB, 2nd prize in the IX edition of the “Premio de Investigación para Estudiantes Gemma Rosell i Romero” with a research Project developed with Vicente Martínez’s group at the "Institut de Neurociències".
 
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key players in microbial recognition, and are particularly important within the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, we have characterized the role of TLR-7 on colonic epithelial barrier function. Results obtained show that the selective stimulation of TLR-7 leads to an improvement in epithelial barrier function. The mechanisms mediating these effects remain largely unknown, but might include the modulation of tight junctions among epitelial cells.
These observations suggest that the activation of colonic TLR-7 leads to a protective-like response, avoiding bacterial translocation, a process implicated in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders.

There are several ways to enhance brain functions and memory in particular. Physical exercise is one of the possibilities that, in addittion, produces great benefits to the overall health. A research group from the "Institut de Neurociències" of the UAB has shown that this treatment greatly enhances recovery from memory deficits induced by traumatic brain injury. They have also shown that this effect is due to an increase in neurogenesis and a positive correlation has been found between the latter and the mnemonic capacity of the subjects.

IBRO Short stay programme

 
The aim of this programme was to facilitate the collaborations among young investigators (PhD students and early postdocs) with Spanish laboratories. Thanks to the programme of IBRO iniciated by IBRO on 2011, the Young Investigator Training Committee was able to award 43 young investigators from 28 different countries around the world to performed Short Stays in Spanish Laboratories at the time of FENS Forum 2012.

This initiative could be carried out thanks to the committee of Dr. Agnes Gruart from the University Pablo de Olavide, Division of Neuroscience, Drs. Kalpana Shrivastava, Mariela Chertoff and Laia Acarin from the Institut de Neurociències at the UAB.
