A team from NeuroSpin investigated the impact of contrasting auditory environments on the morphology of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) in preterm newborns. By showing that exposure to music is associated with a deeper STS, the authors suggest that early auditory experience influences the structural development of temporal brain regions.
A collaborative study between the BIAM and Joliot (SPI/DMTS) institutes demonstrates the feasibility of near-complete whole-body carbon-13 isotopic labeling in mice and lays the foundation for a global, quantitative, and unbiased metabolomics approach. This unprecedented strategy could also enable the investigation of certain metabolic troubles.
DMTS teams have characterised 17 monoclonal antibody-candidates targeting ricin using two original biophysical approaches. The identification of ricin residues involved in functional antibody recognition paves the way for the development of powerful monoclonal therapeutic antibodies against this natural toxin, which is a bioterrorism agent.
The COVID-PATH project was officially launched on March 12, 2025, to investigate the gastrointestinal impact of SARS-CoV-2 and its link to Long COVID.
As a stakeholder in the NOMATEN Centre of Excellence for innovative multifunctional materials, the CEA-Joliot Institute supports its development by regularly organizing training sessions for its staff. The latest examples.
