Se trata de una molécula que está directamente relacionada con la expresión de la proteína priónica celular, presente en la superficie de las células neurales. El estudio, liderado por el IBEC, abre la puerta a la detección temprana de la enfermedad de Alzheimer en etapas asintomáticas en muestras de sangre, favoreciendo su diagnóstico y tratamiento.
The Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for Laboratory Technician to contribute to the development of novel methods for Neurodegenerative studies using microfluidics and in vitro platforms.
The contract will be within the framework of the project “Fabrication of novel microfluidic devices and applications to monitor tau-related neurodegeneration in vitro”.
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), coordinated by principal investigator José Antonio del Río, are in the media for a study in collaboration with the University of Barcelona (UB) that describes the role of mechanical signals in the formation of the cerebral cortex.
A scientific team coordinated by José Antonio del Río from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) observed the mechanical signals and traction forces involved in the migration of Cajal-Retzius cells, a group of neurons that play an important role in the development of the cerebral cortex. The study, conducted on rodents, has been published in the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology.
Investigadores del Instituto de Bioingeniería de Cataluña (IBEC), en colaboración con hospitales y socios internacionales, observan que la falta de la proteína priónica celular provoca déficits de comportamiento, deficiencias en el aprendizaje y un aumento de excitabilidad del cerebro, similar a la epilepsia, en ratones.

The accumulation of abnormal glycogen in glial cells of the nervous system causes inflammation and degeneration of the brain. The study, led by IRB Barcelona and with contribution of Arnau Hervera and Jose Antonio del Río from IBEC, has been recently published in the journal Brain.
El investigador principal, José Antonio del Río, ha recibido financiación de la convocatoria «CaixaHealath» de «la Caixa» para seguir avanzando en la lucha contra el Alzheimer.
