High-intensity rehabilitation for stroke recovery

ICREA Research Professor Paul Verschure and Belén Rubio Ballester —Group Leader and Postdoctoral Researcher at IBEC’s Synthetic, Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems (SPECS) Group, appear in the media because of their collaborative study with Nick S. Ward de la UCL about a retrospective analysis that concludes that high-intensity therapy beginning within 6 months post-stroke offers the best rehabilitation outcomes, suggesting that standards of care offered by many healthcare systems should be re-analysed.

A new 3D muscle model will allow the study of aging and the evaluation of drugs and cosmetics

IBEC researchers develop a three-dimensional model of muscle tissue using bioprinting and tissue bioengineering techniques that allow reproducing their strength, contraction and aging profiles. The new model will have potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, cosmetics and robotics. In addition, it will open the doors to the study of morphological and functional alterations caused by muscle aging.

High-intensity rehabilitation boosts recovery after a stroke

A retrospective analysis performed by researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and University College London (UCL) has found that high-intensity therapy beginning within 6 months post-stroke offers the best rehabilitation outcomes, suggesting that standards of care offered by many healthcare systems should be re-analysed.

IBEC becomes a benchmark communicating bioengineering on social media

 

The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) doubles its number of followers in the last two years, reaching the number of 20.000. With this achievement, IBEC ranks not only as a center of excellence in bioengineering research at an international level, but also as a benchmark in communicating bioengineering on social networks.
