A study by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has created a mutational map of the hormone amylin, the aggregation of which can damage pancreatic cells and lead to type 2 diabetes. The team analysed 1,916 variants of the protein and compared the results of this mutational map with genetic and clinical data from 500,000 individuals. The study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the role of genetics in diabetes and could lead to the development of safer and more effective drugs.

Research carried out at IBEC by Samuel Sánchez and his team has led to the development of a new generation of therapeutic nanorobots. These nanorobots can move through the body, reach tumours and deliver drugs with great precision. These nanorobots have already reduced bladder tumours by up to 90% in preclinical models and are being investigated for use in treating other diseases. They were presented to the public at MWC26 through an immersive experience demonstrating how this technology could transform future treatments.
