Can ultrasound help reduce inflammation in the brain non-invasively? 🧠

In our recent study in collaboration with Imperial College London, we explored how focused ultrasound can modulate microglia cells and reduce neuroinflammation linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Our results showed a significant reduction in inflammatory molecules both in vitro and in pre-clinical models, highlighting the exciting therapeutic potential of non-invasive ultrasound technologies.

🇪🇺✈️ REBORN Project | 2nd Review Meeting🔬🇪🇺

Valencia was the perfect backdrop for our second REBORN review meeting! 🌞🇪🇸

Partners from all over Europe came together to share progress, exchange ideas, and plan the next milestones of this exciting EU project.

🫀🔬What is REBORN?

REBORN is developing a **smart piezoelectric cardiac patch** made of multifunctional biomaterials to support **heart tissue regeneration**, with on-demand therapeutic delivery triggered by ultrasound.

🤝🧠 Science moves faster when we move together.

🎉 We made the Front Cover! 🖼️✨

Our work has been featured on the Front Cover of ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering!

In this study, we contributed to the development of a biomimetic scaffold that uses ultrasound-driven electrical stimulation to interact with Schwann cells ⚡🧠

By exploring how cells move and release key growth factors, this research helps advance strategies for peripheral nerve regeneration 🔬

Proud to be part of this collaborative effort and grateful to Silvestro Micera’s Lab and Eugenio Redolfi 🤝

And a special shout-out for the amazing cover design! 🎨

New frontiers in Assisted Reproductive Technology!🚀

On December 1st, 2025, Costanza Larcan reached a significant milestone, defending her M.sc. thesis in Biomedical Engineering. Costanza investigated how cutting-edge physical technologies can be integrated into clinical protocols to enhance fertility treatments. Her brilliant presentation and the high-impact results of her study demonstrate how interdisciplinary research can offer real-world solutions to global health challenges.

The future of Assisted Reproductive Technology looks bright! 👏

Congratulations, Costanza!"🎉
