The last two years in scientific news
In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers from IDMIT's LCSAT lab (CEA-Jacob) evaluated PPAR-γ ligands in the development of myelofibrosis.
In a study published in JBC, researchers from MIRCen (CEA-Jacob) deployed a range of techniques to map the surfaces of various pathogenic alpha-synuclein aggregates, establishing thus "fingerprints" specific to each aggregate.
The microbial composition and metabolome of the intestinal microbiota of an animal model for COVID-19 were altered over the disease course and remained so after the resolution of lung infection. Those results, which will contribute were brought to light by the Institut Pasteur in Lille in partnership with IDMIT (CEA-Jacob).
The UMR1184S Autoimmune Diseases Team (IDMIT CEA-Jacobl) has published an article in Arthritis & Rheumatology confirming a direct pathogenic role for salivary epithelial cells in primary Sjögren syndrome.
In an article published in Oncogene, researchers from LRTS and LRIG (IRCM/CEA-Jacob) have shown that an increase in the expression of cellular prion protein driven by the ATM/TAK1/JUNK signaling pathway contributes to solid tumor radioresistance.
In an unprecedented work published in Brain, researchers from LMN (MIRCen/CEA-Jacob) showed that these abnormal tau proteins migrate from neurons to astrocytes, another type of cell within the brain, and remain toxic in the astrocytes as well.
In a partnership with IDMIT (CEA-Jacob) and Institut Pasteur, the Epigenetic and Environment Laboratory (LEE; CNRGH/CEA-Jacob) carried out two studies to evaluate DNA methylation in non-human primate models of immunodeficiency virus infections.
Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumors with a very poor prognosis. Even with aggressive treatment, recurrence is nearly systematic. Researchers from IRCM (CEA-Jacob) have decrypted molecular mechanisms that enable treatment resistance and escape for a subpopulation of cells.

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.
