The last two years in scientific news
A new structure for aggregated alpha-synuclein has been determined at the atomic level using cryo-electron microscopy. The work, lead by a team from MIRCen's Neurodegenerative Diseases Laboratory, was published in the journal eLife. The determination of this previously undescribed structure opens new doors for the development of ligands specifically targeting alpha-synuclein aggregates in Parkinson's disease.
France Génomique is proud to announce its first Human Genomics international symposium that will be held in Paris from February 10th to 12th, 2020. Registrations are open.
...or how finding the unique link may be a path toward curing gastric infections. In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from LRIG (IRCM) identified a protein that is essential for an antibiotic resistance propagation pathway in the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
...or how small amounts of oxygen contribute to the preservation of lymphocyte progenitors in humans. In an article published in Cell Reports, researchers from LSHL (IRCM) shared new findings on the role of hypoxia in human lymphocyte differentiation.
Researchers from MIRCen partnered with École Polytechnique, the CNRS, Inserm and LOB to develop combinatorial labeling techniques wherein color and 3D and high-resolution imaging are used to demonstrate astrocyte plasticity during cerebral cortex development.
In a study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, a team from the Genomics and Radiobiology of Keratinopoiesis laboratory (LGRK/ IRCM) has shown that a transcription factor, KLF4, plays a key role in the proliferation of the stem cells in the epidermis. The discovery brings new therapeutic perspectives to regenerative medicine.
CEA and IRSN presented their research activities in radiobiology, radiopathology, epidemiology and dosimetry in a tripartite seminar organized on 28-29 October 2019 by the QST-NIRS in Chiba, Japan.
NeurATRIS and Dhune are delighted to announce that the next edition of “Translational neuroscience Day: challenges and opportunities”, will be held on December 10, 2019, in Marseille and hosted by BioFit.
The 8th International Conference on HLA-G will take place at the Ministry of Health and Solidarity (Ministère de la Santé et des Solidarités) in Paris on 8, 9 and 10 July 2019.
CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.
