The Transmission of Information Via Proteins Could Revolutionize Drug Discovery

“If we are successful, we will have discovered a gold mine for drug discovery” A study by the scientists Xavier Salvatella and Modesto Orozco at IRB Barcelona reveals the existence of information highways that connect and correlate distant sites within a single protein. Published in Nature Communications, the article furthers a key theoretical field for

A New Family of Antibiotics – A Marine Compound With Antibiotic Properties

At very small doses this compound inhibits the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bacterial resistance to drugs leads pharmaceutical labs to be in constant search for new antibiotics to treat the same diseases. For the last thirty years, the sea bottom has yielded a wealth of substances with properties of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Isolated

Pioneering Breakthrough of Chemical Nanoengineering to Design Drugs Controlled by Light

Researchers at IRB Barcelona and IBEC achieve photo-switchable molecules to control protein-protein interactions in a remote and non-invasive manner. These tools will serve as a prototype to develop photo-switchable drugs, whose effects would be limited to a given region and time, thus reducing the side effects on other regions. The scientific cooperation between chemists, biotechnologists

Building Organs Block by Block

Tissue Engineers Create a New Way to Assemble Artificial Tissues, Using ‘Biological Legos’ Tissue engineering has long held promise for building new organs to replace damaged livers, blood vessels and other body parts. However, one major obstacle is getting cells grown in a lab dish to form 3-D shapes instead of flat layers. Researchers at
