The Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Union, through the Next Generation EU program will finance this new phase. It will evaluate the efficacy of CTH120 as an innovative therapy in adult patients with SXF, the most common form of hereditary intellectual disability without specific treatment. The public-private consortium formed by the biotechnology company CONNECTA Therapeutics, the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT) will receive 2,7 million euros in funding from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Union, through the Next Generation EU program, to initiate Phase IIa clinical trials of the drug CTH120 for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome (Fragile X syndrome).

Sociodemographic, epidemiological, technological and societal demand changes make it necessary to face a transformation of the health system in order to promote both its own sustainability and the improvement of expected health outcomes. In order to carry out this transformation, long term strategies are needed, which go beyond the cycles of government, as well as the commitment between the different agents that have influence there. For this reason, it is considered necessary to do so through a National Health Pact.

The Minister of Health officially announced the cardiologist's appointment from Hospital del Mar and researcher at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute last December. Dr. Tizón replaces Dr. Josepa Mauri from Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, who held this position for the past 8 years.
People with HIV have altered levels of a specific RNA molecule related to both aging and inflammation. This molecule remains altered even with antiretroviral treatment, indicating that their immune system remains affected despite receiving antiretroviral treatment and controlling the infection. The authors of the study, published in the Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection, suggest that the origin of this alteration is chronic inflammation caused by the infection, regardless of the treatment received by patients. Having this marker can be helpful in monitoring the evolution of patients and the effectiveness of the drugs they take to restore the normal functioning of their immune system.

33 new research projects received funding of up to 500,000 euros or up to one million euros in the sixth edition of the CaixaResearch Health Research call, promoted by the "la Caixa" Foundation. In total, 25.3 million euros in grants. The call supports basic, clinical, or translational research projects with scientific excellence and social impact in cardiovascular diseases, infections, oncology, and neurosciences. It also supports projects developing enabling technologies in these areas. Among the selected projects is one led by Dr. Toni Celià-Terrassa to advance the understanding of metastasis and its coevolution with the immune system. There are also two other projects with the participation of researchers from the Hospital del Mar, Dr. Víctor Pérez, and Dr. Arnau Busquets.

The Tatiana Foundation Prize for Young Researchers, awarded by the Spanish Society of Neurosciences, aims to identify and support the future leaders of Spanish neuroscience research. Valero, coordinator of the Neural Computation Laboratory at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has made extraordinary discoveries that have changed the way neuroscientists think about how local neural microcircuits represent spatial information. The award will be presented next September at the XI World Congress of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) to be held in Granada and organized by the Spanish Society of Neurosciences.
