SUMMARY:Faster Future 2017: Músculo en un chip para combatir la Distrofia Muscular
DESCRIPTION:Este #GivingTuesday ayúdanos a acelerar la investigación en tratamientos personalizados para la distrofia muscular.\n** Actualización: La web Faster Future ya está abierta para donaciones ** \nFaster Future es el nuevo programa del IBEC con el que\, a través de iniciativas de financiación colectiva\, buscamos acelerar y llevar a la práctica clínica determinados proyectos que ya se encuentran en una fase avanzada de investigación. \nEste #GivingTuesday puedes ayudarnos a acelerar la creación de una plataforma “músculo en un chip” para la evaluación de estrategias terapéuticas para pacientes afectados por la distrofia muscular miotónica. \nLa Distrofia Muscular miotónica DM1 o enfermedad de Steinert es la distrofia muscular más severa y frecuente en adultos\, afectando a 1 de cada 8.000 adultos en España. Es una enfermedad neuromuscular hereditaria considerada rara\, de incapacitación progresiva\, que hoy afecta a 50.000 personas en España. El riesgo de heredad la enfermedad es del 50% cuando uno de los dos progenitores está afectado. \nEn la actualidad no existe cura para la Distrofia Muscular\, su tratamiento se basa en el alivio sintomático para mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente. \nGran parte de la investigación desarrollada en el IBEC se focaliza en la creación de nuevas soluciones de medicina personalizada. Con este proyecto\, liderado por el Dr. Javier Ramón\, tendremos la posibilidad de obtener\, en un corto periodo de tiempo\, un dispositivo (músculo en un chip) que nos permitirá valorar la eficacia de los fármacos relacionados con la distrofia muscular de manera personalizada\, sin el uso de animales\, mediante el cultivo de células musculares del propio paciente. \nCon esta campaña #GivingTuesday queremos recaudar los 25\,000 € necesarios para llevar a cabo las últimas fases del proyecto: dotar al tejido muscular de biosensores\, validar la plataforma y hacer pruebas con fármacos. \nEn la actualidad no existe ningún proyecto de estas características. A partir de la cifra mínima de 18.000€\, estas últimas fases del proyecto podrían ponerse en marcha en enero de 2018 y\, a finales de 2019\, se podría fabricar un primer prototipo funcional de este dispositivo. Con la ayuda de todos\, podremos acelerar la llegada de esta solución personalizada a la práctica clínica. \nEste #GivingTuesday\, ayúdanos a hacer realidad la medicina del futuro!

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Sessions: Ignasi Jorba and Jaideep Katuri
DESCRIPTION:Multiscale Nonlinear Mechanics of Lung Extracellular Matrix\nIgnasi Jorba\, Cellular and respiratory biomechanics group\nA precise knowledge of the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to further our understanding of the cell-matrix interplay. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is particularly suitable to study the mechanical properties of ECM at the microscale that cells sense the stiffness of their microenvironment. Nevertheless\, although many biological tissues including those of heart and lung are physiologically subjected to stretch\, conventional AFM systems do not allow measurement of the stiffness of the sample at different stretch levels. We studied nonlinear micromechanical properties of lung ECM by means of AFM using a novel device fabricated with a 3D printer to stretch the ECM sample during AFM measurements. To compare micro and macroscale mechanics we also probed ECM by means of tensile tests. Finally\, we are developing a mathematical model to explain the mechanical behavior at the microscale and macroscale and the relation between them. \nChemically active Janus colloids near surfaces\nJaideep Katuri\, Smart nano-bio-devices group\nSelf-propelled colloidal particles have recently emerged as an important class of active matter. A prime example is ‘Janus’ particles which have heterogenous catalytic properties along their surface and self-generate local chemical gradients in the presence of a fuel.1 During propulsion\, these particles create hydrodynamic and phoretic fields around them\, via which they interact with their local environment and nearby particles.2 In this talk I will begin with describing experiments where we exploit these hydrodynamic and phoretic interactions with nearby surfaces to develop a robust guidance system for these micron sized objects. We find that the presence of nearby surfaces induces a strong alignment interaction that can be used to ensure that self-propelled particles follow along pre-defined pathways. We also show that this effect is dependent on the rate of chemical activity and probe the limits of topographical properties below which this mechanism fails.3 In the second part of the talk\, I will describe a directional confinement that naturally emerges for spherical\, chemically active Janus colloids in channel flow. We find that the interplay between chemical activity\, confinement near a surface and imposed flow can lead to a strong attraction of active colloids to certain orientation angles. This effect is dependent on the imposed flow rate\, with higher flows leading to more robust angular confinement.4 Our findings could have implications for developing applications involving the guiding of self-propelled particles in microfluidic channels.

SUMMARY:IBEC B·Debate: Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing: Adding Life to Years
DESCRIPTION:Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing: Adding Life to Years\nCosmoCaixa Barcelona. C/ Isaac Newton 26\, Barcelona\nDemographic change and well-being have been identified as major societal challenges. The rapid growth of the oldest age groups will have a major impact on health care costs. Engineering must play a substantial role managing the effects of this surge in demand for healthcare and providing care to be delivered in new ways. In concrete\, biomedical engineering underpins many of the actions required to improve the quality of life of older people\, including medical\, social and infrastructure needs\, so that the degree of independence and activity for ageing citizens can be improved. \nThere is a growing need for innovative medical technology solutions that contribute to our concept of healthy ageing. Technical innovation can provide solutions such as telemetry\, distant-virtual consulting and checking\, the automation of processes\, and robot technology. Intelligent implants that use new design methods\, materials\, and software can keep patients mobile and fit as long as possible. Early recognition using accurate diagnostic equipment that employs imaging techniques\, lab-on-chip analysis\, and advanced sensors can reduce treatment costs and improve recovery rates. As a consequence\, medical care can be provided at home\, in the patient’s personal environment\, instead of in a hospital. Regenerative medicine can as well offer a solution to major clinical needs related to ageing such as heart strokes\, central/peripheral nerves damage\, osteoporosis or ulcers. \nThis B·Debate\, an initiative of Biocat and “la Caixa” Foundation\, is jointly co-organized by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and will highlight the challenges an ageing population will have to face in terms of health and wellbeing and the possible solutions bioengineering can provide. The following hot technological topics will revolutionize healthcare and assistance to aged people: M-Health\, Robotics for assisted living\, Point of care diagnostics and Regenerative therapies. \nRegister here before 7th November.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussion Sessions: Berta Gumí and Natalia Feiner
DESCRIPTION:Nanomechanical and structural properties of supported lipid bilayers\nBerta Gumí\, Nanoprobes and nanoswitches group\nBiological membranes are flexible self-sealing boundaries that form the permeability barriers for cells and organelles\, also playing a structural role under combination of forces. Understanding the physical properties of the membrane is essential to get a better knowledge on the function of its constituents. Moreover\, changes in membrane properties can affect receptor functioning\, protein-membrane and protein-protein associations\, as well as small molecule gradients. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) and AFM-based force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) we evaluate morphological and nanomechanical parameters of hydrated supported lipid bilayers (SLBs)\, that can be directly correlated with the lipid lateral organization and composition in the membrane. Being SLBs 2D ordered structures\, grazing incidence X-Rays (XR) techniques are powerful to probe lateral and vertical organization in the length scales ranging from angstroms to microns. By combining AFM and XR we obtain not only information about the morphological and nanomechanical properties\, but also more insights on the structure and organization of SLBs. This approach allows studying the interaction of membrane constituents and its associations with small molecules. \nStudying nanoparticle interactions with blood components using super resolution microscopy\nNatalia Feiner\, Nanoscopy for nanomedicine group\nThe formation of the protein corona when nanoparticles are introduced into the blood stream alters their interactions with the target cells\, affecting their functionality and performances in vivo [1]. Therefore\, to improve the design of effective nanoparticles it is important to understand the composition and temporal evolution of the protein corona. In the present work we use super-resolution optical microscopy (SRM) to study the protein corona growing on mesoporous silica nanoparticles. SRM enables us not only the imaging but the quantification of single proteins [ref]. Interestingly\, we observed a significant heterogeneity in protein absorption between individual nanoparticles which was only possible to detect thanks to the high resolution of the technique and its ability to image in a particle-by-particle basis. We studied the role of the surface chemistry in the corona formation and the role of the degradability in the corona evolution in time. Moreover\, we investigate the consequences of protein corona formation on selective cell targeting which provide us a detailed understanding of corona-activity relations. The present methodology is widely applicable to a variety of nanostructures and complements the existing ensemble approaches to further investigate protein corona phenomenon.

Being SLBs 2D ordered structures\, grazing incidence X-Rays (XR) techniques are powerful to probe lateral and vertical organization in the length scales ranging from angstroms to microns. By combining AFM and XR we obtain not only information about the morphological and nanomechanical properties\, but also more insights on the structure and organization of SLBs. This approach allows studying the interaction of membrane constituents and its associations with small molecules. \nStudying nanoparticle interactions with blood components using super resolution microscopy\nNatalia Feiner\, Nanoscopy for nanomedicine group\nThe formation of the protein corona when nanoparticles are introduced into the blood stream alters their interactions with the target cells\, affecting their functionality and performances in vivo [1]. Therefore\, to improve the design of effective nanoparticles it is important to understand the composition and temporal evolution of the protein corona. In the present work we use super-resolution optical microscopy (SRM) to study the protein corona growing on mesoporous silica nanoparticles. SRM enables us not only the imaging but the quantification of single proteins [ref]. Interestingly\, we observed a significant heterogeneity in protein absorption between individual nanoparticles which was only possible to detect thanks to the high resolution of the technique and its ability to image in a particle-by-particle basis. We studied the role of the surface chemistry in the corona formation and the role of the degradability in the corona evolution in time. Moreover\, we investigate the consequences of protein corona formation on selective cell targeting which provide us a detailed understanding of corona-activity relations. The present methodology is widely applicable to a variety of nanostructures and complements the existing ensemble approaches to further investigate protein corona phenomenon.
