Using public MRI data sets from the knee and brain, researchers from NeuroSpin and Cosmostat (CEA-Irfu) have written a consistent benchmark of several deep neural networks used for image reconstruction with significantly reduced acquisition time.
An opinion article, published in Environmental Microbiology, and written by an international consortium initiated by three researchers of Joliot Institute, proposes an original way of research on Covid-19 through the identification by sequencing of attenuated variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in populations at risk with little or no symptoms.
Researchers from the SCBM in collaboration with teams from IRAMIS, AstraZeneca and the Karolinska Institutet have developed a second marking method based on the dynamic exchange of carbon dioxide, this time without catalysis, by "simple" thermal heating. Ideal for organic molecules of therapeutic interest, the method is described in tAngewandte Chemie.
A team from SCBM, in collaboration with researchers from I2BC, SHFJ and IRAMIS, has synthesized new neutral macrocycles called bambusurils (BUs). These BUs can be functionalized by “click chemistry” to obtain multivalent architectures decorated with 8 to 12 ligands of interest, an alternate topology which gives them remarkable supramolecular properties.
A collaboration led by I2BC researchers presents, in the Journal of Experimental Botany, a body of evidence for a dynamic association of the PTOX protein with thylakoid membranes, dependent on proton motive force.
In order to answer this question, a vast study of experimental psychology and chronobiology, directed by Virginie Van Wassenhove (NeuroSpin) was launched in collaboration with Inserm and the University of Paris-Saclay.
In a study conducted by a team from the Institut Curie, I2BC researchers have used their NMR know-how to study the phosphorylation of BRCA2 and have thus contributed to revealing a mechanism potentially at the origin of chromosomal aberrations observed in breast BRCA2-mutated tumors.
A collaboration between researchers from I2BC@Saclay, the french Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle and owners of prehistoric sites shows the possibility of using a mobile laboratory to quickly identify DNA of archaeological specimens.

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.
