Scientists map the first step in Alzheimer’s protein aggregation and discover clues for future therapies

This is an analysis on an unprecedented scale. They studied over 140,000 versions of the Aβ42 peptide, which forms harmful plaques in the brain. It is the first map to reveal how mutations affect a protein in its transition state — a fleeting phase that is difficult to study. This finding opens up new avenues for preventing Alzheimer’s disease and suggests a method that can be applied to studying other proteins involved in different pathologies. The study, published in Science Advances, is a collaboration between the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, and the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona.

HeLa et al. is touring international film and art festivals

HeLa et al. is an audiovisual work developed by Tess Marschner during her artistic residency at IBEC between 2023 and 2024. It is currently touring international film and contemporary art festivals. This collaboration has enriched the way IBEC communicates science, helping the institute’s research to cross borders.

New technology for mass serological analysis

A study by Stanford University and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia describes an innovative technology that enables the large-scale analysis of antibodies in biological samples. Using microscopic beads marked with stable isotopes, this advance surpasses traditional techniques, accelerating the study of immune responses and opening up new possibilities for biomedical research.
