IBEC, one of the centres selected by the Pasqual Maragall Foundation for its research grants
Amaya Hernández-Vega, a senior researcher at IBEC, will lead one of the two projects selected in the 2024 call for proposals from the Pasqual Maragall Research Programme, which is dedicated to funding research into Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. IBEC also celebrates the participation of Jordi Duran, an associate researcher from the Molecular and Cellular Neurobiotechnology group, who will collaborate on the second selected project.
NOTICIAS CUATRO: Inyecciones para borrar el Alzheimer
Importante avance médico. Un ensayo científico ha logrado revertir el alzhéimer en ratones a través de una terapia basada en nanotecnología y centrada en el sistema vascular Han logrado una recuperación de las capacidades cognitivas equivalentes a un rejuvenecimiento de unos 20 o 30 años en personas. Declaraciones de Lorena Ruiz Perez, Investigadora del IBEC; Giuseppe Battaglia, Lider Bionica Molecular IBEC.

Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice using nanoparticles
An international team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the West China Hospital Sichuan University (WCHSU) was able to reverse Alzheimer’s in mice after only 3 injections with nanoparticles. The innovative approach to treating the disease focuses on restoring the normal function of the vasculature, rather than acting on neurons or other brain cells, as has usually been done until now. This achievement, published in the Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy Journal, is a promising step towards an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
