The IBEC annual symposium brings together high-profile international experts for an open forum for interdisciplinary discussions and networking. This year the symposium is dedicated to Bioengineering for Active Ageing, one of IBEC’s three major application areas. This year a special afternoon session has been organized with three keynote speakers coming from the Massachusetts Institute ... Read more
Linking epithelial size, tension and pressure in curved epithelial monolayers Ariadna Marin, Integrative Cell and Tissue DynamicsEpithelia are thin cellular layers that act as mechanical and biochemical barriers. They are dynamic tissues that present strong intercellular junctions needed to maintain their integrity while growing and regenerating. During embryogenesis, they fold progressively and give rise to ... Read more
