All the news of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot
An LSOD Research Team (I2BC@Saclay), in collaboration with a Research Team from Mar del Plata University (Argentina), has been able to characterize for the first time a NO-Synthase of plants. Researchers have shown that NO-Synthase from Ostreococcus tauri (pico plankton from the Thau lagoon) produces very large amounts of NO compared to human NO-synthases. However, terrestrial plants do not have NO-synthases and the biological role of this enzyme remains unknown.
Two Research Teams led by Odette Prat of the Institute of Biosciences and Biotechnologies (BIAM) and Jean Armengaud of the Frédéric Joliot Institute (LI2D, Marcoule) have joined forces thanks to an ANR funding to deepen knowledge of the importance of the nature of protein crowns on the cellular impact of nanoparticles. The results from their three recent publications reveal a new concept: "the protein interactome applied to the corona of nanoparticles".
Brain Imaging and the largest MRI magnet in the world, on the program of the Science Festival on Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th October, at the sports center of Le Moulon. A success for CEA, IRFU and NeuroSpin!
The first joint scientific meeting of the Paris-Sud and Paris-Center nodes of the France Life Imaging Biology and Health Infrastructure was held on the 14th of September 2017, at the SHFJ in Orsay. The theme was the integration of heterogeneous imaging and biology data. Many researchers from the Frédéric Joliot Institute took part in this event attended by more than 100 people, including 1 / 5th of industrialists.
A Research Team in psychiatry at CEA-NeuroSpin, in collaboration with the Mondor Institute for Biomedical Research (INSERM) and Henri-Mondor University Hospitals, AP-HP, has shown that a genetic variant associated with multiple psychiatric disorders alters a network. prefronto-limbic, which would increase the risk of developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The results of this study are published online October 2, 2017 in the Journal of Neuroscience.
On the occasion of the national day of "dys", discover the work carried out by the teams of the NeuroSpin research infrastructure, on the CEA Paris-Saclay center.
Organized within the framework "DRF Impulsion", this event will be moderated by Virginie van Wassenhove, researcher at NeuroSpin, and Etienne Klein, and will focus on Big Data.
Paris-Saclay University is pleased to present the MOOC "Journey to the heart of life with X-rays: crystallography", result of a close collaboration between the Department I2BC @ Saclay (pedagogical director: Marie-Hélène Le Du ), the Sun Synchrotron, the Ecole Polytechnique, the CNRS, and the University Paris Sud.
