Nanobodies, promising biotherapeutic agents, may trigger undesirable immune reactions. A team from SIMoS demonstrates, using a sensitive assay on human T lymphocytes, that this risk exists for certain nanobodies and can be reduced through sequence humanization. These findings highlight the importance of assessing immunogenicity alongside therapeutic efficacy.
Researchers from the MIND team (NeuroSpin) and the Neuroscience Center in Helsinki describe a machine learning model that simplifies the interpretation of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) data acquired during the presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy. This approach improves and facilitates the localization of the epileptogenic network.
Peptides and proteins adsorb onto plastic nanoparticles, forming a corona. Researchers from I2BC and CEA-Iramis, using molecular modeling, reveal distinct adsorption behaviors depending on their amino acid sequences. They thus establish a mechanical basis for predicting peptide-plastic interactions, a crucial element for assessing the risks these interactions pose to health and ecosystems.
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.
