A new cellular model reveals which mutations drive progression to myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia in patients with GATA2 deficiency

A research team has created the first humanised cellular model to study GATA2 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to severe blood conditions such as myelodysplastic syndrome and leukaemia. The study shows that, although the initial GATA2 mutation weakens haematopoietic stem cells, it is additional mutations -particularly in the SETBP1 gene- that drive disease progression.

Micropores pave the way for infection research

A new study provides a powerful way to study infections in environments that closely mimic human organs. The strategy, tested in a bone-marrow-on-chip model, was developed by researchers from ISGlobal, IGTP, I3S at Porto University, and IN2UB, as part of the HIDDENVIVAX project, funded by "la Caixa" Foundation.

Study identifies that the sequence of previous diseases may help predict the risk of long COVID

Provides a new perspective: what matters is not only which previous diseases a person has, but also the order in which they appeared and how they interact. This approach makes it possible to identify risk profiles for long COVID that had not been detected until now. The research was conducted within the framework of the COVICAT study, coordinated in collaboration with ISGlobal.
