There’s nothing like sitting down with a relaxing café con leche while you’re networking. And that’s exactly what IBEC representatives did this afternoon when, together with the IRB, they took part in the inaugural event of the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRI)’s ‘Café amb la Recerca’ initiative, which was held at IBEC.
“Discovering a key cellular mechanism in the development of breast cancer”
Alberto Elosegui and Pere Roca-Cusachs’ Nature Materials paper gets lots of press coverage in newspapers, TV and radio today. In the study, they describe for the first time how mammary cells detect tissue stiffening, which is key to the development of breast cancer.
IBEC researchers share their stories in CosmoCaixa exhibition
Six IBEC researchers are featured in CosmoCaixa museum’s new exhibition, Top Ciencia, that promotes scientific careers in a range of disciplines and gives visitors a glimpse into what it’s like to be a researcher today.
Researchers uncover a fundamental mechanism in breast cancer
A study by IBEC researchers reveals in Nature Materials how mammary cells detect tissue stiffening, which is key to the development of breast cancer
Achieving control of tissue stiffness could open a new avenue to treat tumours like those in the breast
Abnormally rigid tissues are also found in several other types of cancer, so the newly revealed mechanism could be a key aspect behind the onset of various diseases
