A new 3D muscle model will allow the study of aging and the evaluation of drugs and cosmetics
IBEC researchers develop a three-dimensional model of muscle tissue using bioprinting and tissue bioengineering techniques that allow reproducing their strength, contraction and aging profiles. The new model will have potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, cosmetics and robotics. In addition, it will open the doors to the study of morphological and functional alterations caused by muscle aging.
Samuel Sánchez’s Nanorobots against cancer will accelerate with support from the “La Caixa” Foundation
Samuel Sánchez and his team at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), earned the competitive call CaixaResearch for Health Research to develop nanorobots against bladder cancer. Sánchez, a pioneer in the field of self-propelled nanorobots, proposes to move in this way towards solutions against one of the most common, recurring and expensive forms of cancer to treat.
