scientific researchers of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), have discovered that genes Cux1 and Cux2, could be key pieces to the connections between neurons and hence, may be related with the delay mental.

Research has shown that, in practice, these genes regulate the formation of the dendrites, branched extensions of the cells in the brain and neural synapses in mammals. This means that they are responsible for proper functioning. for the study was a laboratory mouse, devoid of the gene Cux2 and saw that this animal had a decline their synapses function, as well as defects in his memory, because of the disturbances that occurred in the structure of their dendrites.

With this discovery, have not yet done described properties may have, in patients with mental delays, but could be a way to detect and possibly a road to a treatment against this disease.

Gluten-free

celiac disease or allergy to gluten present in some cereals is a real ordeal for those who suffer from it and their families. The main problem is that gluten is present in most of the food we eat; Although there are products without gluten, the truth is that they are much more expensive.

A study comparative to perform by the Catalan celiac Association noted that suitable for gluten-free products are rather more expensive than the flows; specifically, sixty-seven per cent more. Most basic foodstuffs (cereals, bread, rice and pasta) have been the main focus of the investigation.

this result has led to the Association to the conclusion that a celiac person pays for your shopping cart as well as a person without gluten intolerance … if made the purchase in 30 years. They were the statements of the President of the Association, Matilde Torralba. Since 2006, products that become more over they have expensive bread, pizzas, toasted bread and cereal bars. To this must be added the disadvantage of the low range of products suitable for celiac present in the market

And outside little, be celiac also implies more displacement and more fatigue; this is because those who suffer from this condition cannot afford to buy the products in the same establishment, s ino have to go to specialized businesses that take advantage of to raise prices. “ Manufacturers take advantage of this disease, when in reality it is a basic need ”, said the President. “ Is extremely serious that a celiac spends around 1,500 euros a year over in the basket to a normal person ”.

Some options to adapt the prices are the initiatives proposed from the Association: monthly vouchers redeemable for specific food (such as those that are already in Castilla La Mancha), or Returns part finance of those thousand five hundred euros per year over that spent the gluten-free food.
