Human embryo implantation recorded in real time for the first time
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have recorded human embryo implantation in real time for the first time, using an innovative system developed in the laboratory that simulates the outer layers of the uterus in 3D. Implantation failure is one of the main causes of infertility, accounting for 60% of miscarriages. The work, published in the journal Science Advances, may help to better understand the mechanisms underlying the implantation process, improving fertility rates and optimising assisted reproduction processes.
IBEC and Antoni Muntadas featured in the ‘Invisible Animals’ exhibition at the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) attended the opening of the exhibition, which highlights extinct fauna that remains present in the collective imagination. The exhibition includes a section dedicated to the Tasmanian tiger featuring a piece by Antoni Muntadas, on which IBEC collaborated with Benedetta Bolognesi, a principal investigator at the institute.

Fibrosens Project receives funds from AFM-Telethon to develop sensor devices for muscular dystrophy
IBEC researcher Juanma Fernández recently has received funding from the French AFM-Telethon to carry out the project “Monitoring of fibrotic processes in 3D skeletal muscle co-cultures for Muscular Dystrophies using plasmonic biosensors”. The objective is to develop multiplexing sensor devices to achieve online, real-time sensing capability to monitor fibrosis markers and evaluate drug response in muscular dystrophy in vitro models.
