IBEC part of RIS3CAT community to accelerate 3D printing projects

This month saw the kick-off of the RIS3CAT LLAVOR 3D Community, a partnership of Catalan entities – including IBEC – which will develop projects in additive manufacturing and 3D printing.

Coordinated by Leitat, and part of the RIS3CAT strategy of research and innovation for the smart specialization of Catalonia, the Community will bring together 31 SMEs, large companies, research centres and universities. Together they’ll work on four projects, ultimately accelerating their development and adoption by the industrial sector to improve competitiveness.

Physical forces regulate cell division

Researchers at IBEC have discovered that cell division in epithelial tissues is regulated by mechanical forces.

This revelation could potentially open avenues to a greater understanding of the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells in tumors, and their possible regulation by means of physical forces.

Publishing in the June edition of Nature Cell Biology, the research group of ICREA professor Xavier Trepat, group leader at IBEC and associate professor at the University of Barcelona (UB), describe how the mechanical state of epithelial tissues – the continuous sheets of cells that cover all the exposed surfaces of the body – is related to the cell cycle and cell division.
