La información, a news digital medium, echoes the lecture that Alberto Mantovani gave in Madrid. Mantovani was the co-chair of the “Macrophages and Inflammation” Barcelona Biomed Conference held on October 25-27. Antonio Celada, Group leader of the “Macrophage biology: regulation of gene expression” lab at IRB Barcelona, hosted the conference in Barcelona. Both Celada and Mantovani then traveled to Madrid to offer this lecture, related to the conference topics but addressed to the general public, at the BBVA Foundation that funds this conference series.
