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).

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.
