This project will study the short- and long-term impact of steroid sulfation, which is involved in various biological processes, during pregnancy and its influence on maternal mental health and the mother-child bond. The project, "Short- and Long-term Effects of Steroid Sulfation During Pregnancy on Brain Plasticity, Maternal Well-being, and the Mother-Child Bond", led by Dr. Òscar Vilarroya, coordinator of the Neuroimaging of Mental Disorders Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, will receive funding from La Marató de TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio. It is one of 26 projects related to sexual and reproductive health selected by the Board of Trustees of La Marató Foundation upon the recommendation of the Advisory Commission. Over 100 proposals were submitted in this edition.

A scientific article by the PASOS consortium, led by the Gasol Foundation and the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, confirms that nearly 60% of children with overweight present abdominal obesity. 56.1% of the population aged 8 to 16 with overweight (based on BMI) has an excess of fat around the waist, a percentage that 20 years ago stood at 40%. Abdominal obesity is associated with visceral fat, a condition defining cardiometabolic risk, which already affects more than 1 million children aged 8 to 16 in Spain. The PASOS study by the Gasol Foundation continues to contribute to scientific evidence and understanding the issue of childhood obesity.

The p95HER2 protein is found expressed in one third of HER2+ tumors, which represent 4% of all tumors. Led by VHIO investigators, CAR T cells targeting p95HER2 have been engineered to secrete the TECH2Me bispecific antibody. Both therapies specifically and independently recognize tumor cells. In addition, the TECH2Me bispecific antibody activates immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. This dual mechanism of action has demonstrated safety and achieved complete and durable antitumor responses in patient-derived models of HER2+ p95HER2-expressing solid tumors. Published in Nature Communications, results of this VHIO-led study have provided the rationale for the application of a phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial, currently in the approval process, to assess this novel therapeutic strategy in patients with HER2-driven solid tumors.

Conversely, women tolerate it better than men, according to a multicenter study led by Hospital del Mar and its research institute, published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. The study analyzed the outcomes of more than 200 people who underwent a thoracotomy, a type of open surgery that requires separating the ribs to reach the lungs. The differences between men and women are not due to physiological or genetic factors but to a worse initial situation for women regarding their quality of life prior to surgery. The researchers highlight the need to consider this and introduce the idea of addressing psychological components before surgery as part of a personalized approach to pain management.
