A DNA-based nanostructure inspired by antibodies as the core of a programmable sensing platform for rapid, single-step diagnostics

A team consisting of current and former members of the ICN2 Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group has developed an electrochemical sensor based on a modified DNA scaffold nanostructure able to detect antibodies and proteins in unprocessed biological fluids. It has a Y-shaped architecture that mimics the one of natural Immunoglobulin antibodies. According to the results published in an article in ‘Advanced Functional Materials’, it is selective, specific, and adaptable to the detection of different biomarkers.

A novel and clinically validated optical biosensor enables rapid and quantitative serological testing of COVID-19

An innovative nano-biosensor for fast, quantitative and accurate COVID-19 serology, which achieves the high reliability of specialised laboratory analysis with the short times and simplicity of rapid self-tests, has been developed by a team of researchers led by Prof. Laura M. Lechuga, head of the ICN2 NanoBiosensors and Bioanalytical Applications Group. This work has been developed in collaboration with the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and Research Institute (VHIR, Barcelona) and the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona–IDIBAPS –which provided the clinical samples and the validation— and the Emerging Virus Unit of Aix-Marseille University (France).

New graphene-based neural probes improve detection of epileptic brain signals

A study published in Nature Nanotechnology shows that flexible brain probes made of graphene micro-transistors can be used to record pathological brain signals associated with epilepsy with excellent fidelity and high spatial resolution. This research was led by the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and the University College London Queen Square Institute of Neurology (UK).

Researchers find a substance that facilitates natural cell suppression in aggressive brain cancer

A research team coordinated by Dr. Víctor J. Yuste of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) demonstrated that the administration of a substance called “gossypol” to cells of glioblastoma, an incurable type of brain cancer, facilitates their death through the natural apoptosis mechanism. This study, in which took part members of the ICN2 Nanostructured Functional Materials Group, opens up a new avenue in the search for a treatment for glioblastoma.
