Hightlights
In 2016, several researchers from the group have achieved funding of relevant competitive projects. The project ‘’ Identification of molecular mediators of signaling from intestine to insulin sensitization and adipose tissue browning: role of LBP and FGF15 / 19’’, coordinated by M. Giralt, researcher of our group, in collaboration with JM Moreno-Navarrete from JM Fernández-Real group, was one of the awarded projects in the call for obesity and diabetes of the TV3 Marathon. Also, A. Planavila, Ramón y Cajal researcher of the group, obtained the project “Meteorin-like, a new cardiomyoquine for the detection and treatment
of heart disease “awarded by the Spanish Society of Cardiology. Within the scope of contracts with the private sector, two new projects have been developed with Lucta based on studies of metabolism and nutrition in porcine species. The group has carried out activities to disseminate relevant results, including the coordination by F. Villarroya of the special issue of the SEBBM journal of December 2016 on obesity research, with the participation of other CIBEROBN and international groups. Although awarded at the end of 2015, during 2016 the group has coordinated the activities of the MINECO Thematic Network of excellence “Adipose plasticity and associated pathologies” (“Adipoplast”) in which national groups of several CIBER and other specialized institutions participate in studies of adipobiology.
