Les cellules cibles du SARS-CoV-2 dans les voies respiratoires produisent des molécules antivirales suite à l’infection, mais trop tardivement pour empêcher la réplication du virus.
Urinary tract infections affect over 50% of women, in some cases recurrently. E. coli bacteria are very often implicated in their development.
Every year throughout the world, Group B Streptococcal (GBS) meningitis affects thousands of newborns. Often fatal, the disease can also lead to severe after-effects in survivors.
Monoclonal antibodies are part of the therapeutic arsenal for eliminating cancer cells. Some make use of the immune system to act and belong to a class of treatment called "immunotherapies." But how do these antibodies function within the tumor? And how can we hope to improve their efficacy?
Lorsque nous rêvons, nous sommes à première vue coupés du monde, incapables de recevoir des informations de l’environnement et d’y répondre. Pour la première fois, une collaboration entre des chercheurs de l’Inserm, de l’AP-HP, de Sorbonne Université et du CNRS avec plusieurs groupes américains, allemands et néerlandais, montre qu’une communication à double-sens, de l’expérimentateur vers le rêveur et vice-versa est possible au cours du rêve.
Based on a retrospective analysis of serum samples from over 9,000 adults participating in the French cohort Constances[1], a study by Inserm researchers found that out of the 353 participants with positive SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests, 13 had had their samples taken between November 2019 and January 2020 – with confirmation by neutralizing antibodies testing. Investigations in 11 of these participants revealed the existence of symptoms possibly related to a...
Une étude sur la mémoire immunitaire montre la maturation et la persistance de la mémoire immunitaire B contre le virus SARS-CoV-2 au cours du temps.
What are the factors predicting progression to severe forms of COVID-19? One year into the pandemic, this question remains a key research subject, and one that scientists from Inserm and Université de Paris decided to explore further by studying the link between viral kinetics and disease progression.
The Phase 3 clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine is to be launched via Covireivac, a platform set up under the auspices of Inserm and the university hospitals to centralize COVID-19 vaccine trials in France. Janssen, the pharmaceutical division of the Johnson & Johnson group, has obtained the authorizations[1] needed for ENSEMBLE 2, a trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of vaccine candidate Ad26.COV2.S in the prevention of COVID-19...
Elderly women are currently at a higher risk than men of developing dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease. A phenomenon that could partially be explained by inequalities in access to education between the sexes during the first half of the 20th century. Researchers from Inserm and Université de Paris, in collaboration with University College London, have shown that certain cognitive capacities have improved in women over recent generations, and that this...
