New study reveals how protein behaviour drives blood–brain barrier specialization
The research, led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, reveals that the blood–brain barrier is defined not only by the proteins it expresses, but by how it uses them, through a dynamic property known as endocytic turnover rate (ETOR). This discovery shows that brain endothelial cells have a unique molecular behaviour that distinguishes them from other blood vessels and can be disrupted during inflammation. The results provide new insight into how the barrier functions and fails in disease which may help identify novel therapeutic strategies to restore neurovascular health.

IBEC promotes a management staff mobility programme with a placement at UCL Hawkes Institute in London
In June, the IBEC management team took part in an exchange visit to the UCL Hawkes Institute as part of the Severo Ochoa programme. Currently in its pilot phase, this initiative opens up new opportunities for knowledge and best practice sharing in research management amongst leading international institutions.
IBEC participates in three projects that have contributed to COVID-19 advances driven by La Marató 2020
On 18 June, the results were announced for the 36 research projects funded by La Marató de 3Cat through its 2020 special call for proposals dedicated to tackling the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) participated in three of these projects, which aimed to deepen our understanding of the disease and improve its diagnosis and clinical monitoring.
