After receiving the Prix des Sciences du Médicament by the French National Academy of Pharmacy in February 2020, Mathieu Panel, a former IMRB doctoral student in Bijan Ghaleh’s team, has just been highlighted as a trainee author in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in the March 2021 issue. The paper for which […]

In multicellular organisms, cells dynamically interact with the microenvironment, which determines their properties and gene-expression profile. Tissue damage, such as injury or experimental cell dissociation, leads to dramatic modifications of the niche, yet the early cellular responses in vivo remain ill-defined. Focusing on two highly regenerative organs, the skeletal muscle and the liver, we identified […]

B memory cells play a fundamental role in the host’s defenses against viruses, but so far their role has been relatively undefined in the context of CoV-2 SARS. Matthieu Mahévas and several members of the Pirenne team, associated with several teams at the Institute (Bastuji-Garin, Cohen, Lévy and Pawlotsky teams), the Necker Institute for […]

In the deepest parts of the pulmonary air shaft, gas exchange between air and blood takes place within about 500 million alveoli (small spherical chambers about 1/4 mm in diameter). The surface of these alveoli, whose developed surface is of the order of 100 m^2 in the adult, is lined with a liquid layer itself […]

Platelets are commonly used in clinical applications. In particular, they are known to stimulate the repair properties of mesenchymal stem cells, these effects being usually attributed to the many growth factors that they release following their activation. The study headed by Anne-Marie Rodriguez with Jennyfer Levoux, Alexandre Prola and Peggy Lafuste as first co-authors […]

In an article available here, published on January 1st in Science Advances, the comparative medical genetics group of the BNMS team reveals an original mechanism by which the content of cardiolipin, a phospholipid present in the inner membrane of mitochondria, controls the coupling efficiency between the oxidation of energy substrates and the phosphorylation of ADP […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can extract complex information from visual data. Histopathological images of cancers indeed contain a very large amount of information that human observers can only partially understand. Thus, AI allows a thorough analysis of digitized histological slides and offers a wide range of clinically relevant applications, such as the identification of prognostically […]
