Constructing a tiny robot from DNA and using it to study cell processes invisible to the naked eye... You would be forgiven for thinking it is science fiction, but it is in fact the subject of serious research by scientists from Inserm, ...
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) or Steinert’s disease is a rare and debilitating genetic neuromuscular disease affecting multiple organs and with a fatal outcome. No treatment is available at present. Encouraged by previous research into its molecular causes, researchers have developed and ...
The zebrafish is particularly studied in research laboratories due to its ability to regenerate its caudal fin. This study opens up new avenues for improving our understanding of the regeneration processes, with the aim of developing clinical applications in the field of ...
Quand les cellules se multiplient et migrent, elles peuvent être comprimées et leur noyau se briser. Ce phénomène entraine des détériorations de leur ADN et des scientifiques du CNRS, de l’Institut Curie et de l’Inserm viennent de montrer qu’il facilite ainsi la ...
A new test to detect antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 that is reliable, inexpensive and needs no special equipment? This is the proposal of an international scientific team, of which one of the members is an Inserm researcher at the Institute of Pharmacology and ...
Endocrine disruptors can potentially become more harmful if mixed. Following on from research published in 2015, scientists continue to decipher the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon known as the "cocktail effect". ...
