The objective of this call for proposals is to support translational research projects dedicated to understanding the specificities of cancer biology in elderly patients. The selected projects, co-sponsored by a biological leader and a clinical leader, may be supported for a maximum of €1,000,000 to €3,000,000 over a period of 6 years. Summary of […]

In elderly cancer patients, it is recommended that frailty screening be performed prior to cancer treatment in order to refer patients for further geriatric assessment. The clinical utility of frailty screening tools has not been evaluated. Using data from 1678 elderly patients (median age 81 years) with solid cancers included in the ELCAPA cohort, the […]

This team has very recently been awarded two European funding, “TANGERINE” and “GENIAL”. Pr Julien Calderaro, member of the team, is co-investigator in these two projects. The TANGERINE project (TRANSCAN call for proposals) brings together 5 investigators (Spain, Germany, Israel, France, Romania) and aims to develop multimodal, pan-cancer artificial intelligence models for predicting response […]

Cutaneous neurofibromas (NFcut) are the most frequent complication of patients with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Although benign, they are responsible for disfigurement, pruritus and suffering that is difficult to control and which can affect the quality of life of patients. Their removal (surgical excision, electrodissection, destruction with CO2 laser) is the only therapeutic option to […]

The Young Researchers’ Symposium mobilizes the French “muco” community around research. The 23rd edition took place this year on February 15, in a mixed format with a “remote” audience and a majority of speakers present at the association’s headquarters. Twenty young researchers (selected by an ad hoc committee from 42 applications received) presented their […]

The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 can escape neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies as well as by antibodies from convalescent plasma. Memory B cells (MBs) represent a protective bulwark against SARS-CoV-2 because they persist after infection and vaccination enhances their affinity. The ability of BMs, generated by mRNA vaccines, to recognize the Omicron variant remains unknown […]

Leukemia is a group of several types of blood cancer that affect up to 10,000 people in France each year. One of the proposed treatments is the transplant of hematopoietic stem cells. These cells are produced by the bone marrow and are the source of the various blood cells. Despite the success of this therapeutic […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the reality of so-called emerging infectious diseases. These diseases represent in a caricatural way the “One Health” concept of a single health shared by humans and animals in their environment. This concept, which has become obvious in recent years, is the subject of numerous national and international projects. […]

Immune gene signatures reflecting the quality and quantity of the intra-tumor immune infiltration are known to predict sensitivity to immunotherapy, but their use in the clinical setting is however challenging, as they require access to molecular biology platforms for the extraction of nucleic acids and their processing/sequencing. They are also highly dependent on sample quality […]

The project led by Roberta Foresti, Roberto Motterlini, Sandrine Pons and Bijan Ghaleh, focuses on the release of Danger Associated Molecular Patten (DAMP) during myocardial infarction, in particular heme. The main objective is to demonstrate the role of heme, as DAMP and as a signal for HO-1 activation to modulate inflammation, protect the myocardium […]

In the HGB-205 phase I/II clinical trial, four patients with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia and three patients with sickle cell disease, aged 13 to 21 years, were treated with lentiviral gene therapy. They were followed for a median of 4.5 years. The patients with beta thalassemia all became “transfusion independent” within the first month […]
