Severo Ochoa centres meet in La Palma

The 100XCIENCIA “Communicating frontier science” forum took place last week in Santa Cruz de La Palma. IBEC Director Josep Samitier was one of the twenty directors that presented their Severo Ochoa Centres of Excellence to the assembled science communicators and journalists, including the New York Times’ Kenneth Chang.

The three-day unprecedented event also included round tables during which the directors, journalists and other professionals including European Commission representatives could discuss topics such as science policy, science in the media, and the impact of outreach activities.

Possible new treatment for bladder cancer using a mycobacterium

Collaborators at the UAB and IBEC have found a mycobacterium that is more effective in treating superficial bladder cancer and does not cause infections, unlike those used up to now.

Mycobacteria are the only bacteria used in cancer treatment. The administration of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) is the current treatment for superficial bladder cancer, and is inserted directly into the bladder through a catheter. BCG prevents new tumours from appearing, but despite its efficacy it has many adverse side effects, the most serious being BCG infections that need to be treated with antituberculous drugs.

Safe nanomotors propelled by sugar

Researchers at IBEC and their collaborators have made a breakthrough in nanomotors for applications in medicine by developing the first ever fully biocompatible self-propelling particles that are powered by enzymes that consume biological fuels, such as glucose.

In Nanoletters today, IBEC group leader and ICREA research professor Samuel Sánchez and his collaborators at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), the University of Tübingen and the MPI for Solid State Research, describe their fabrication of enzyme-powered synthetic nanomotors that overcome the disadvantages of current systems by being both biocompatible and powered by biologically benign fuels.
