HUG-CELL in the Media

A study is being conducted to determine whether people who develop severe forms of the disease have risk genes and whether asymptomatic people or patients with only mild symptoms have protective genes.

The dysregulation appeared to affect communication among neurons in the subjects of the study. The discovery could improve diagnosis, which is currently based on the clinical analysis of symptoms.

The viral therapy was tested in three elderly animals with spontaneous brain tumors by a group of researchers at the HUG-CELL

Experiments performed by Brazilian scientists showed that Zika virus inhibits tumor cell proliferation even when inactivated by high temperature. The study was published in Scientific Reports

Technique developed at the HUG-CELL produced hepatic tissue in the laboratory in only 90 days and could become an alternative to organ transplantation in future.
