SRHI, in collaboration with various partners, shows that measuring extracellular vesicle–associated HLA-G makes it possible to anticipate the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction.
Researchers from Genoscope, show that some core components of the circadian clock vary greatly depending on latitude, suggesting an adaptation of temporal mechanisms to local light environments.
A study published in PNAS highlights a tripartite protein complex that is essential for single-stranded DNA transport during bacterial natural transformation.
TRIGLITEP project aims to overcome a major bottleneck in brain imaging: the biological validation of neuroinflammation biomarkers.
An international study led by Genoscope reveals that mirusviruses, a large group of giant viruses infecting eukaryotic organisms, are far more diverse and widespread than previously known.
Researchers from the DRCM have characterized a new mechanism essential for protecting telomeres. They demonstrated that the protein Rap1 prevents the translocation of the Ku protein thereby avoiding deleterious chromosomal fusions.
Researchers from CNRGH, Inserm and several French and international universities, have conducted the largest genetic study to date focusing on the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE).
In response to the global rise of bacteria that are extremely resistant to antibiotics researchers from the IDMIT Department have developed monoclonal antibodies capable of neutralizing Klebsiella pneumoniae in vitro and in vivo.
