Come to learn about the DPP4 protein and the functions it carries out in our body, understanding how it can affect well-known diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or covid-19. To do this, we have prepared a series of activities, which constitute an enjoyable and participatory tour, to immerse ourselves in the latest scientific evidence in this field. Through a chemical reaction, we will learn to detect the presence of glucose in jelly beans, we will use our skill in shooting at the target to understand the easiness that SARS-CoV-2 can find entering the cells, and with a video game we will appreciate if there is a relationship between diabetes mellitus and covid-19.
