The 18th annual IBEC Symposium focused on ‘Bioengineering for Precision Medicine’, which is one of IBEC’s key areas of application. The event was attended by nearly 300 people, including local and international researchers. The multidisciplinary environment provided experts from other centres and the IBEC community with the opportunity to present their projects and exchange knowledge.
Today, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) held a matchmaking workshop. The event brought together leading researchers from both centres to encourage the formation of new connections and promote scientific dialogue.
Un vídeo hecho en Barcelona documenta por primera vez en un modelo artificial de matriz la implantación, momento crítico y gran desconocido del embarazo humano.
Il momento clou della gestazione è stato catturato per la prima volta da alcuni ricercatori dell’Istituto di Bioingegneria della Catalogna. La nuova tecnica potrebbe aiutare gli scienziati a scoprire come prevenire gli aborti spontanei
Imagens inéditas revelam como embriões humanos invadem o tecido uterino e explica causa comum de infertilidade
Investigadores españoles crean un sistema en el laboratorio que simula las capas externas del útero en 3D. “Ayudará a mejorar la tasa de fecundación in vitro”.
Scientists at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia in Barcelona have recorded footage of a key stage of human development in real time, and in 3D, for the first time. In doing so, they witnessed a surprisingly invasive event that they hope could provide insights that may one day help treat infertility.
For the first time, scientists have recorded a human embryo implanting into a womb in real time, a feat the researchers hope will lead to new ways to treat infertility and prevent miscarriages.
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have recorded human embryo implantation in real time for the first time, using an innovative system developed in the laboratory that simulates the outer layers of the uterus in 3D. Implantation failure is one of the main causes of infertility, accounting for 60% of miscarriages. The work, published in the journal Science Advances, may help to better understand the mechanisms underlying the implantation process, improving fertility rates and optimising assisted reproduction processes.
