Metabolomics arrives at “The liver Meeting” comes from Biosfer Teslab
From 12 to 15 November took place the “The liver Meeting” organised by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). The mission of the association is to advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health. This year, Biosfer Teslab, together with OWL Metabolomics, University of Medicine […]
Barça Innovation Hub: Metabolomics at the forefront of elite sport
The Barça Innovation Hub (BIHUB) was created four years ago by the FC Barcelona to develop technological advances applied to sport and improve performance at the highest level. This large Barça Laboratory aims to exploit the synergy between sport and technology in order to reach the levels of demand required by the club. To work at […]
Liposcale for early and reliable diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer patients
One of the key features of malignant tumour cells is that their energy metabolism is altered. However, in recent years, alterations in lipid metabolism have been described in some types of cancer. A study led by the team of Dr. Josep Gumà and Dr. Sandra Guaita from the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV) and […]
Liposcale in Circulation
Frequent consumption of nuts, an important component of plant-based diets, is associated with a 15% reduction in total cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a 23% reduction in CVD mortality. Although small studies have shown that supplementing the diet with nuts has a considerable effect on reducing dietary cholesterol in the short term, there is little information […]
Improvement in the prediction of atheromatous cardiovascular disease using the Liposcale test
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high burden of atheromatous cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) that is not fully explained by traditional lipid parameters. A study published in the clinical Kidney journal, conducted in patients with chronic kidney disease, reveals that information on lipoprotein composition and subclass particle number using the Liposcale test could improve […]
Early molecular signature of Parkinson and dementia years before the diseases appear
NMR metabolomics could identify altered lipoprotein and protein glycosylation profiles in REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), the prodromal stage of Lewy-type synucleinopathies (LTS) -including Parkinson and dementia. NMR showed predictive power distinguishing future clinical outcome, being a useful tool for identifying short-term high-risk patients for conversion to parkinsonism or dementia. Here you can see the […]
Particle size measurement of lipoprotein fractions using diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy
Abstract The sizes of certain types of lipoprotein particles have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, there is currently no gold standard technique for the determination of this parameter. Here, we propose an analytical procedure to measure lipoprotein particles sizes using diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DOSY). The method was tested […]
Metabolomics Reveals Reduction of Metabolic Oxidation in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome after Pioglitazone-Flutamide-Metformin Polytherapy
Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a variable disorder characterized by a broad spectrum of anomalies, including hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, body adiposity, low-grade inflammation and increased cardiovascular disease risks. Recently, a new polytherapy consisting of low-dose flutamide, metformin and pioglitazone in combination with an estro-progestagen resulted in the regulation of endocrine clinical markers in […]
Biosfer was awarded with the INNOWWIDE: a high competitive European call
Recently our CEO, Núria Amigó, was invited to participate in the first INNOWWIDE Focus Group, a virtual meeting organized by Steinbeis 2i innovative + international, as an INNOWWIDE funding recipient representative, to evaluate the call impact and to get insight the entire process, enabling to see those activities which we were good at and those […]
Advanced lipoprotein profile disturbances in type 1 diabetes mellitus: a focus on LDL particles
Our lipoprotein profile, Liposcale (CE), in Cardiovascular Diabetology: “Advanced lipoprotein profile disturbances in type 1 diabetes mellitus: a focus on LDL particles” The research groups of Sant Pau and Hospital Clinic lead by Dr. Didac Mauricio, Dr. Emilio Ortega and Dr. Antonio Amor have published a relevant study including more than 500 type 1 Diabetic […]
