The newspaper “El Periódico de Catalunya” devotes a page to a project between IRB Barcelona and the VHIO. This project seeks to develop a new strategy against brain tumours; this approach is based on the use of peptide shuttle that can cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the tumour. Ernest Giralt and Meritxell Teixidó are the IRB Barcelona researchers involved.
