IBEC welcomes young talent to its reSEARCH4TALENT open day

On 30 April, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia held the twelfth reSEARCH4TALENT event, which is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in pursuing a career in research. The event brought together close to 50 people, who were able to learn about life at the institute, speak with researchers, and tour the laboratories.

How cells decide when to react could shape future treatments for cancer and fibrosis

Scientists from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and King’s College London have discovered that cells do not just sense mechanical forces but also measure how long those forces last before responding. The findings, published in Nature Materials, reveal a timing mechanism that allows cells to ignore brief mechanical noise while reacting to sustained changes, a process that is crucial in diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
