SUMMARY:El present i el futur de la Fibrosi Quística
DESCRIPTION:El present i el futur de la Fibrosi Quística\n27/04/16\nEl dimecres 27 d’abril\, amb motiu del dia Nacional de la Fibrosi Quística\, l’IBEC organitza la jornada divulgativa “El present i el futur de la Fibrosi Quística”\, amb l’objectiu de conscienciar a la societat sobre la incidència d’aquesta malaltia\, informar dels aspectes clínics i donar a conèixer els resultats que s’estan assolint en el camp de la recerca. \nLa Fibrosi Quística és una malaltia genètica i hereditària que està present des de la concepció. Es calcula que cada any neixen a Catalunya uns 14 nens afectats per aquesta malaltia\, el que la converteix en la malaltia genètica hereditària més freqüent. Les estadístiques permeten afirmar que un de cada 25 individus és portador del gen de la malaltia\, el que significa\, per exemple\, que a Espanya hi ha d’1\,5 a 2 milions de persones portadores del gen de la Fibrosi Quística. \nGràcies a l’estudi genètic de la Fibrosi Quística\, s’ha experimentat grans avenços en els últims anys que han permès desenvolupar la investigació en diferents àmbits. La jornada està organitzada en estreta col·laboració amb l’Associació Catalana de Fibrosi Quística (ACFQ)\, que va néixer amb l’objectiu de lluitar per millorar la qualitat de vida dels malalts i de les seves famílies\, i té el suport de Pessics de Ciència\, projecte dedicat a fomentar la ciència fent-la propera\, atractiva i entenedora. \nL’esdeveniment s’articularà en dues activitats; una xerrada divulgativa per a estudiants de batxillerat\, i una taula rodona\, “Present i futur de la Fibrosi Quística: pacients\, clínica i recerca”\, dirigida al públic general que comptarà amb la presència de diferents personalitats\, experts clínics\, investigadors i representants de pacients. \n10:00 – 13:00: Xerrada divulgativa dirigida a alumnes de secundària\n19:00 – 20:30: Taula rodona “Present i futur de la Fibrosi Quística: pacients\, clínica i recerca” \nRegistration: http://ibecbarcelona.eu/events/Fibrosis-Quistica/registro.html

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Wieteke de Boer
DESCRIPTION:Optical activation of neurons through low power two-photon IR excitation of gold nanoparticles\nWieteke de Boer\, Departments of Biological Sciences and Neuroscience\, Columbia University\nSelective optical stimulation of specific classes of excitable cells is a major goal in neurobiology. Here we propose the approach of indirect photostimulation through gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)\, which are conjugated to the neuronal membrane. Au NPs are frequently used in biological research due to their versatile applicability: they have a broad optical tunability\, large absorption cross sections\, can be made chemically stable and biocompatible\, and most importantly they are non-invasive and non-toxic even up to excessively large quantities. We show that these NPs can facilitate reliable optical stimulation of neurons through the plasmonic effect using IR two-photon (2P) excitation\, with extremely low excitation powers. The NPs can be easily tethered to any targeted tissue and are known to be excreted without inducing any permanent damage. Using this approach\, Au NPs are an attractive alternative to genetic modification techniques (such as channelrhodopsins) as it circumvents potential issues often seen in those methods\, e.g. poor signal-to-noise ratio\, photo-instability\, photo-toxicity and expression efficiency.

SUMMARY:IX Conferencia Anual de las Plataformas Tecnológicas de Investigación Biomédica
DESCRIPTION:En esta Conferencia Anual\, se persigue dar respuesta a los nuevos retos que se plantean en la investigación biomédica. Algunos\, llegan de la mano de un nuevo marco normativo como el Real Decreto 1090/2015 de Ensayos Clínicos\, que supone un cambio significativo en el país y permitirá una adaptación rápida y competitiva a las nuevas exigencias cuando entre en vigor el nuevo Reglamento Europeo sobre la materia. Además\, se tratarán de resolver otros retos\, como la  reutilización de datos para la investigación biomédica\, salvaguardando las cuestiones éticas y legales\, al mismo tiempo que se permite el avance científico. Todo ello desde una perspectiva nacional e internacional de colaboración público-privada. \nAgenda

SUMMARY:IX Conferencia Anual de las Plataformas Tecnológicas de Investigación Biomédica
DESCRIPTION:En esta Conferencia Anual\, se persigue dar respuesta a los nuevos retos que se plantean en la investigación biomédica. Algunos\, llegan de la mano de un nuevo marco normativo como el Real Decreto 1090/2015 de Ensayos Clínicos\, que supone un cambio significativo en el país y permitirá una adaptación rápida y competitiva a las nuevas exigencias cuando entre en vigor el nuevo Reglamento Europeo sobre la materia. Además\, se tratarán de resolver otros retos\, como la  reutilización de datos para la investigación biomédica\, salvaguardando las cuestiones éticas y legales\, al mismo tiempo que se permite el avance científico. Todo ello desde una perspectiva nacional e internacional de colaboración público-privada. \nAgenda

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Samuel Ojosnegros
DESCRIPTION:Imaging Eph/ephrin cell-cell communication through Enhanced Number and Brightness: a novel method for the study of protein aggregation\nDr. Samuel Ojosnegros\, Centre de Medicina Regenerativa de Barcelona (CMRB)\nProteins constantly interact with each other assembling a variety of molecular species\, including small oligomers\, fibers of dynamic polymerization or high-order clusters\, among others. However\, current methods discriminate poorly the stoichiometry of protein interactions in living cells. To overcome these impediments we developed an enhanced version of Number & Brightness (eN&B)\, a powerful live imaging technique with capability to investigate multiple domains of information.  eN&B determines the distribution of protein aggregates present inside every pixel in an image during time-lapse movies. It can reach unprecedented level of space and time resolution compared to FRET-based or FCS-based methods. When studying EphB2 receptor activation\, the eN&B allowed us to resolve simultaneously the aggregation state of 40 different oligomers in 3 dimensions (x\, y\, t) and pixel depth. We found that Eph oligomerization follows a sophisticated dynamics consistent with a nucleated polymerization process\, where activation and clustering are decoupled processes. This decoupling endows the receptor with high sensitivity for low ligand concentrations while at the same time allows to provide a proportional response to a wide range of ligand concentrations. In summary\, I will present a novel imaging tool with capability to determine the stoichiometry of receptor-ligand interactions and potentially\, many other instances or protein aggregation.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Complementary Skills Session: Scientists and popularisers: challenge and responsibility
DESCRIPTION:Scientists and popularisers: challenge and responsibility\n \nDavid Bueno\, Departament de Genètica · Facultat de Biologia\, UB\nScience has become central to human life\, not just for developing new products and applications and for understanding the world\, but also as a transforming element for society and human thinking. Science is everywhere\, and often\, social organisations have to take decisions based on scientific research or with scientific implications. Moreover\, some science applications involve ethical issues\, which have to be addressed within communities. In this context\, communicating and popularizing science is a prerequisite for strengthening and deepening democratic mechanisms\, as it may strengthen the social participation of citizens with the appropriate scientific knowledge to participate in collective decisions\, with equal rights and responsibilities. In this talk\, the challenge and responsibility of scientists to contribute to science communication and popularisation will be addressed\, as well as the main principles ruling science popularisation.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar:  Josef A. Käs
DESCRIPTION:Why do rigid tumours contain soft cancer cells?\nProf. Dr. Josef A. Käs\, Principal Investigator & Head of the Soft Matter Physics Division · Leipzig University\nAs early as 400 BCE\, the Roman medical encyclopaedist Celsus recognized that solid tumours are stiffer than surrounding tissue. However\, cancer cell lines are softer\, and softer cells facilitate invasion. This paradox raises several questions: Does softness emerge from adaptation to mechanical and chemical cues in the external microenvironment\, or are soft cells already present inside a primary solid tumour? If the latter\, how can a more rígid tissue contain more soft cells? Here we show that in primary tumour samples from patients with mammary and cervix carcinomas\, cells do exhibit a broad distribution of rigidities\, with a higher fraction of softer and more contractile cells compared to normal tissue. Mechanical modelling based on patient data reveals that\, surprisingly\, tumours with a significant fraction of very soft cells can still remain rigid. Moreover\, in tissues with the observed distributions of cell stiffnesses\, softer cells spontaneously self-organize into lines or streams\, possibly facilitating cancer metastasis.
