Steering Self-organization in Active Colloids and Droplets through Confinement Confinement, whether externally imposed or generated by the system itself, plays a central role in shaping the dynamics and self-organization of active matter. In natural systems, such as … Read more
Duchenne Parent Project Spain has invested €247,000 in the BEAT project, which will be carried out by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Around 20,000 new Duchenne cases are diagnosed globally each year.
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.
Un equipo internacional liderado por investigadores del Instituto de Bioingeniería de Cataluña ha conseguido algo que hasta ahora solo se había imaginado en la ciencia ficción, crear tejidos vivos que son capaces de cambiar de manera programada. La clave está en controlar la orientación de las células. Declaraciones de Xavier Trepat, Investigador del Instituto de Bioingeniería Cataluña; Pau Guillamat, investigador Instituto de Bioingenieria de Cataluña.
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.
From 21 to 24 April 2026, IBEC had a significant presence at TERMISEU 2026, the leading European conference on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Held at the Palma Conference Centre in Mallorca, the event brought together more than 1,600 researchers.
