The "First international course on PET in Epilepsy", organized by the SHFJ in early June, brought together about thirty international specialists in the field. The challenge was to disseminate know-how widely developed at SHFJ: the pre-surgical localization of epileptic foci by PET in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsies, candidates for resection neurosurgery.
Winfried Leibl (SB2SM) is a member of the steering committee of the MOMENTOM project (MOlecules and Materials for the ENergy of TOMorrow, IRS PARIS-SACLAY, 2017-2020) This project, funded within the framework of the Strategic Research Initiatives (IRS) of Paris-Saclay University, concerns molecules and materials for the energy of tomorrow.
In an article published the 10th of May in Nature Communications, some Research Teams of the Frédéric Joliot Institute (SBIGeM, SPI) discovered that a new histone variant called H2A.J accumulates in human fibroblasts in senescence.
A collaboration between researchers of the Yamanashi University (Japan) and the CEA showed that it is possible to characterize liver lesions from their elastic properties estimated virtually from MRI measurements of the molecular diffusion of the water. The MRI is thus an interesting option to succeed the conventional MRI elastography used in these exams, the latter with defects (low resolution images, heavy implementation). This work was published in the journal Radiology on June 12, 2017.
A Research Team of the SHFJ (LDM-TEP) has just developed an innovative radiopharmaceutical for lymphoproliferative diseases, [18F] Fludarabine.
A SIMOPRO Research Team has characterized a green mamba venom toxin, mambaquetine, which is proving to be a very promising therapeutic candidate for the fight against polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that causes cysts in kidneys
Got it ! Thursday, the 18th of May 2017, at 9:30 pm, the 11.7 Tesla magnet of the Iseult project joined the CEA, after a journey started on the 4th of May in Belfort, to be installed at NeuroSpin.
The free project PIWS is developed by NeuroSpin. It allows to assemble and serve the data of major European / international projects in population imaging for big-data analyzes. PIWS relies on CubicWeb, a semantic web software developed by the French company Logilab.
