Researchers of the Frédéric Joliot Institute show that the brain processes dynamics dynamically, as embedded and coherent structures of words
Researchers from the Frédéric Joliot Institute link the level of neuronal activity of regions involved in waking / sleep states and the level of neuronal swelling in these regions, observable by diffusion MRI.
The M-CUBE research project is coordinated by Aix Marseille University (AMU) and led by the Fresnel Institute and the Center for Magnetic Resonance in Biology and Medicine (CRMBM). M-CUBE has been selected by the European Commission and is funded for 4 years from the 1st of January, 2017.
The group of Julien Valette (MIRCen) has developed, in the framework of a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), a strategy to quantify some of the morphological characteristics of neurons and astrocytes, as published in PNAS in May 2016.
Biologists have brought to light the operation of "chromatin remodellers", key enzymes in cells. They have discovered how the genetic material, condensed in the nucleus of the cell, needs to be remodelled so that the cell machinery can access the genes. This work, initiated by IBITECS/SBIGeM, coordinated by researchers from a CEA/CNRS/Université Paris-Sud laboratory, under an international collaborative project with Pennsylvania State University (USA) and Guangzhou University (China), was published in Nature on 4 February 2016.
This study, in which a team of SPI/LI2D, specialized in proteogenomics, has contributed reveals the crucial role of the Meioc protein as a meiosis regulator. This protein stabilizes the mRNAs essential to the chronological procedure of the very complex phenomenon of sexual reproduction.
A genomic study of the role of the Mediator of transcriptional regulation, carried out by a SBIGeM team, shows that this multiprotein complex coordinate the multiple stages of the setting up of the transcriptional machinery in vivo.
This review of a SIMOPRO team presents current data on the chemical synthesis and functional characterization of emerging phycotoxins of the family of cyclic imines.
