In animal embryos, cell fate specification coordinates with the spatial organisation of cells into distinct domains, leading to the establishment of e…

We derive the constitutive equations of an active polar gel from a model for the dynamics of elastic molecules that link polar elements. Molecular binding kinetics induces the fluidization of the mate...

The Fundación General CSIC (FGCSIC) launches the fourth edition of its ComFuturo programme: ComFuturo iAGE, a postdoctoral initiative co-financed by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND scheme of...

El biólogo, fallecido a los 89 años, deja un legado científico que roza las alturas de los nobeles Santiago Ramón y Cajal y Severo Ochoa

Biomolecular condensates are made of multiple components but current techniques cannot capture their complex composition quantitatively. Now it has been shown that the dense-phase binodal point defini...

World-class research institutes and university hospitals, a culture of groundbreaking science and a thriving investment ecosystem make Barcelona a rising star in the life sciences industry, as these t...

Researchers from PoL (Ebisuya group), MPI-CBG (Veenvliet group), and EMBL Barcelona have uncovered the instructive potential of glycolysis in two novel publications.

In the embryo, morphogenetic signals instruct regional patterning thereby defining the body axes of the future animal. Remarkably, in the absence of such signals, collections of pluripotent stem cells...

Tissue spheroids are self-organised 3D cellular aggregates that serve as a versatile platform in tissue engineering. While numerous high-throughput methods exist to characterise the cellular function ...
