Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2
The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality
Realización del videoclip de la canción "Rolling Down" de Nicky Shardlow
[ES] El presente trabajo incluye la realización del videoclip de la canción Rolling Down de Nicky Shardlow. El objetivo principal es crear un producto audiovisual profesional en forma de videoclip.
La canción original tiene un tono triste y melancólico y el tratamiento visual debía seguir una estética adecuada para ilustrarlo. El modo de representación escogido fue de estilo narrativo, con un vínculo en forma de adaptación, es decir el videoclip desarrolla una historia independiente pero relacionada con los sentimientos y conceptos básicos de la canción.
El video describe un episodio en la vida de la protagonista principal, Alma, que representa un caso de teen angst y expresa un rango de emociones que van evolucionando a lo largo de la historia, incluyendo desgana, ansiedad, rabia, desesperación, dolor, huida, lucha, esperanza y finalmente resignación. Las decisiones de dirección, el simbolismo, la fotografía y la interpretación se encaminaron a dotar al video de cierto dramatismo.
El trabajo analiza el proyecto creativo incluyendo la preproduccio¿n, la producción y la postproduccio¿n tanto en la parte técnica como artística. Las materias analizadas incluyen el análisis musical y lírico de la canción, el guión literario y técnico, la fotografía, la edición, el etalonaje y los efectos.[EN] This work includes the realization of the music video of the song Rolling Down by Nicky Shardlow. The main objective is to create a professional audiovisual product in the format of a music video.
The original song has a sad and melancholic tone and the visual treatment should follow a proper aesthetic to illustrate it. The mode of representation chosen was narrative style, with a link in the form of adaptation, that is, the music video develops an independent story but related to the feelings and basic concepts of the song.
The video describes an episode in the life of the main protagonist, Alma, which represents a case of teen angst and expresses a range of emotions that evolve throughout history, including reluctance, anxiety, anger, despair, pain, fight, hope and finally resignation. The decisions of direction, symbolism, photography and interpretation were aimed at providing the video with a certain drama.
The work analyzes the creative project including pre-production, production and post-production both in the technical and artistic part. The subjects analyzed include the musical and lyrical analysis of the song, the literary and technical script, photography, editing, grading and effects.Barranco Tomás, M. (2019).

Galectin-1 is a novel therapeutic target and diagnostic/prognostic biomarker for pancreatic cancer
Trabajo presentado en la XVI Reunión de la Asociación Española de Pancreatología, celebrada en Bilbao (España), del 19 al 21 de septiembre de 2019Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is one of the most lethal tumor types, with extremely low survival rates due to late diagnosis and resistance to standard therapies. Identification of new molecular targets and biomarkers is therefore an urgent need to improve this pessimistic scenario. Here we analyze the potential use of galectin-1 (Gal1), a glycan-binding protein that is highly overexpressed in PDA stroma, as therapeutic target and biomarker for PDA.
Methods: To study the potential use of Gal1 as therapeutic target, effects of Gal1 inhibition has been tested using genetically engineered mouse models (Gal1 knockout mice and a KRas-driven mouse model of PDA) and a human cell-based system. To analyze whether Gal1 can be used as PDA biomarker, its levels were determined by ELISA in plasma from healthy controls and patients diagnosed with PDA, using three independent cohorts
Results: Both in mouse models and in a human setting, inhibition of Gal1 leads to impaired tumor formation and metastasis, through modulation of multiple events including proliferation, angiogenesis and immune response. In addition, we found that plasma Gal-1 levels were significantly increased in PDA patients as compared to controls and that high levels of Gal-1 were associated with lower survival in patients with non-resected tumors.
Conclusions: Gal1 plays a key role in PDA development and progression, highlighting the high therapeutic value of Gal1 inhibition in PDA treatment. Moreover, detection of Gal1 circulating levels shows a strong potential to be used as a novel biomarker for detection and prognostics of PDA patients

Despite the advanced stage of illness at presentation, we have shown that host genetics in patients who are critically ill with COVID-19 can identify immunomodulatory therapies with strong beneficial effects in this group3. Here we analyse 24,202 cases of COVID-19 with critical illness comprising a combination of microarray genotype and whole-genome sequencing data from cases of critical illness in the international GenOMICC (11,440 cases) study, combined with other studies recruiting hospitalized patients with a strong focus on severe and critical disease: ISARIC4C (676 cases) and the SCOURGE consortium (5,934 cases). To put these results in the context of existing work, we conduct a meta-analysis of the new GenOMICC genome-wide association study (GWAS) results with previously published data. We find 49 genome-wide significant associations, of which 16 have not been reported previously. To investigate the therapeutic implications of these findings, we infer the structural consequences of protein-coding variants, and combine our GWAS results with gene expression data using a monocyte transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) model, as well as gene and protein expression using Mendelian randomization. We identify potentially druggable targets in multiple systems, including inflammatory signalling (JAK1), monocyte–macrophage activation and endothelial permeability (PDE4A), immunometabolism (SLC2A5 and AK5), and host factors required for viral entry and replication (TMPRSS2 and RAB2A).GenOMICC was funded by Sepsis Research (the Fiona Elizabeth Agnew Trust), the Intensive Care Society, a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellowship (to J.K.B., 223164/Z/21/Z), the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Illumina, LifeArc, the Medical Research Council, UKRI, a BBSRC Institute Program Support Grant to the Roslin Institute (BBS/E/D/20002172, BBS/E/D/10002070 and BBS/E/D/30002275) and UKRI grants MC_PC_20004, MC_PC_19025, MC_PC_1905 and MRNO2995X/1.
