S’ha efectuat amb models 3D i ha anat a càrrec d’un equip internacional en el qual hi ha pres part un investigador de l’IPHES. L’estudi conclou que els primers homínids tenien una capacitat auditiva similar a la dels ximpanzés, però amb diferències que els apropa ja als humans actuals. El prestigi obtingut amb l’estudi de l’oïda dels preneandertals d’Atapuerca ha permès la realització d’aquesta recerca sobre Australopithecus i Paranthropus

A hand-held sensor selective for benzene
The collaboration between the groups of Prof. Pau Ballester at ICIQ and Prof. Eduard Llobet at URV has allowed the development of a sensor highly selective for benzene in air with a lower limit of detection to the extent permitted by law. The work has been published in Advanced Functional Materials and selected for the back cover.

A scientific article published in “Nature Scientific Reports” reveals that the oxidation of the amino acid methionine is a blood marker that indicates the oxidation of good cholesterol. This oxidation prevents the cholesterol from maturing and, therefore, from carrying out its protective function. This study -carried out by CIBERDEM/URV researchers jointly with researchers from the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital- has been carried out in a group of girls in the initial stages of polycystic ovary syndrome, which can lead to a high risk of anovulatory infertility, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome in adulthood.
