La acumulación de placas de β-amiloide (Aβ) en el cerebro contribuye a los síntomas de la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA). Aβ es generado por la escisión mediada por γ-secretasa de la proteína precursora amiloide (APP), y la actividad de γ-secretasa es inducida por el estrés celular, como ocurre con la obesidad y la diabetes, que son los principales factores de riesgo para la EA. Sin embargo, el uso de inhibidores de la γ-secretasa está limitado por la interrupción de otros sustratos de la γ-secretasa. Utilizando una pantalla de ganancia de función en células, ratones modelo con diabetes diabética y muestras post mortem de pacientes con AD, Jung et al.identificó la proteína SERP1 como un activador de γ-secretasa inducido por el estrés celular, sesgado por APP. Derribar SERP1 en las células o el hipocampo del ratón disminuyó la producción de Aβ, lo que sugiere que el bloqueo de SERP1 podría ser una terapia más selectiva para reducir la formación de placa de Aβ en pacientes con EA.

Dear IBRO Governing Council and Committee Members,
IBRO recognizes the global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, and we are following its progression closely. We respect the recommendations and assessments of the World Health Organization and adhere to regional, national and local government policies being developed and implemented in response to changing conditions. Because the situation is actively evolving, we encourage our global community to be guided by the same approach.
Our immediate priority is to anticipate challenges and help protect the health and safety of those participating in any of our supported activities. Several of our member societies, individual grantees, schools, and events have already been affected by travel, work, and general life restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 epidemics. To be as flexible and responsive as possible, we are currently working on a case-by-case basis to address issues of activity postponement, cancellation, or other modifications.
We hope that the COVID-19 outbreak will come to an end quickly, and we will circulate any IBRO-related updates as soon as they arise. In the meantime, please stay healthy, follow credible recommendations and remain vigilant about false information and scams associated with COVID-19. You can find relevant links listed below for further consideration. If you have any general questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at secretariat@ibro.org.
Sincerely,
Tracy L. Bale, Ph.D.
IBRO President

Las conclusiones de un estudio realizado por Víctor Costumero, como el primer autor, Marco Calabria y Albert Costa (fallecido en 2018), miembros del grupo de Producción de Habla y Bilingüismo (SPB) en el Centro de Cognición y Cerebro (CBC) del Departamento de Tecnología de la Información y Comunicaciones (DTIC) de la UPF, junto con investigadores de las Universidades de Jaume I, Valencia, Barcelona y Jaén; IDIBELL, el Hospital La Fe (Valencia) y el Grupo Médico ERESA (Valencia) muestran que el bilingüismo actúa como un factor de reserva cognitiva contra la demencia. Lidón Marín, uno de los autores del artículo, afirma que “aunque los bilingües enfermos muestran una mayor atrofia cerebral, el nivel cognitivo entre bilingües y monolingües es el mismo. El trabajo ha sido publicado en la revista científica Alzheimer’s Research and Therapycon el título “Un estudio transversal y longitudinal sobre el efecto protector del bilingüismo contra la demencia utilizando atrofia cerebral y medidas cognitivas”. Ha sido financiado por la Fundación La Marató de TV3.

Investigadores del Mind Institute (UC Davis) desarrollaron aplicación que permite evaluar con presición el procesamiento cognitivo
Los investigadores del Instituto UCD MIND de UC Davis han actualizado y validado una serie de pruebas entregadas en un iPad para evaluar con precisión el procesamiento cognitivo en personas con discapacidad intelectual. La validación abre nuevas oportunidades para estudios más rigurosos y sensibles en esta población, históricamente difíciles de evaluar.

Con impresión 3D científicos estudiarán como la luz del día modifica la estructura del cerebro
Científicos buscan analizar la influencia de estímulos lumínicos en el cerebro, usando larvas de pez cebra como modelo. Dispositivos diseñados por ingenieros del Instituto de Neurociencia Biomédica permitirán aplicar distintos tipos de luz en los experimentos. La utilización de estas estructuras permitirá evaluar la potencial remodelación neuronal en el sistema nervioso.
