Light-activated drugs against neuropathic pain
A team of researchers led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has developed light-activated derivatives of the anti-epileptic drug carbamazepine to treat neuropathic pain. These compounds, which show analgesic effects when activated by light, can inhibit nerve signals locally and on demand. Photopharmacological treatments offer precise action at the site of application, thus reducing systemic side effects.
Nanorobots capable of travelling through synovial fluid to fight arthritis
Samuel Sánchez, ICREA Research Professor at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), will lead the OrthoBots project, which focuses on the treatment of joint diseases using nanorobots. To carry out the project, Sánchez has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept Grant, a prestigious grant from the European Research Council.
