A nano-drug has been developed for treating certain neurological diseases such as brain ischemia, as well as injuries to bone marrow. It is composed of a therapeutic molecule, adenosine, and the vector squalene, which allows it to circulate in the body and reach the areas to be treated.
The CEA-IBEB has partnered with the CEA-I2BM to develop original MRI contrast agents. Nano-magnets produced by bacteria may reveal targets at the molecular level.
In this study, we examined whether the JAK/STAT3 pathway promotes astrocyte reactivity in several animal models of ND. The JAK/STAT3 pathway was activated in reactive astrocytes in two transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and in a mouse and a nonhuman primate lentiviral vector-based model of Huntington's disease (HD).
A crossover study in neuroimaging and genetics has linked genetic mutations to variations in the size of deep brain structures. This is a new step in evaluating the risk factors for developing a neurodegenerative disease.
Stanislas Dehaene, professor at the Collège de France and a researcher at the CEA-I2BM, has won the “Lire” prize for the best book of the year in the science category, for “Le code de la conscience” (The Code of Consciousness).
An international team involving the CEA-I2BM has just demonstrated that astrocytes induce the neuronal metabolism abnormalities that are characteristic of Huntington’s disease.
The rapid industrial success of carbon nanotubes raises questions about their impact on health and the environment. Researchers from the CEA and CNRS have developed a method to monitor these particles in the body, followed by observing their distribution after lung contamination. This study was published in ACS Nano.
By exploiting a large database of psychometric data and brain imaging, the Neurofunctional Imaging Group from Bordeaux has shown that the location of the brain’s language areas is independent of being right- or left-handed ... except for a very small fraction of left-handed people. This work was published in PLoS One on June 30, 2014.

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.
