A team of researchers are proposing a new radioactive tracer to locate atheromatous plaques in arterial walls, which can cause cardiovascular events.
A team of researchers revealed the existence of a greater creativity in patients with narcolepsy. The results of the study suggest a link between a particular phase of sleep, REM sleep, and creative abilities.
Des chercheurs rapportent un risque accru de maladies cardiovasculaires chez les consommateurs d’aliments ultra-transformés dans la cohorte NutriNet-Santé.
The researchers discovered that not only do the allergens persist in the skin for several weeks but also that they are not alone in doing so. Indeed, immune cells – known as tissue-resident memory T cells – proliferate at the lesion sites and remain there for long periods, reactivating the onset of eczema patches in the event of re-exposure to the allergen.
The global spread of antibiotic resistance is a major public health issue and a priority for international microbiology research.
Constances aims to track the long-term health of its volunteers in order to deepen our understanding of the factors that influence it, such as diet, environment or working conditions.
World MS Day 2019 will take place on 30 May
Researchers from Inserm and Université de Strasbourg at Unit 1260 "Regenerative Nanomedicine" have developed an implant which, when applied like a wound dressing, regenerates cartilage in the event of major joint lesions and incipient osteoarthritis.
Recognized as a rheumatic disease by the WHO in 1992, fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread and persistent pain occurring in multiple areas of the body. This affects functional capacity, which varies over time and from individual to individual.
Over the course of evolution, the genomes of most living organisms have grown more complex thanks to transposable elements, a.k.a. “jumping genes,” or DNA fragments that can move and copy themselves from one chromosome location to another. Researchers from Inserm, the CNRS, Université Côte d’Azur, and Université de Montpellier were able to capture these “jumping genes” just after they moved.
