Calyxis in Niort and the Inserm-Université de Bordeaux Population Health Research Center have published the findings of their study on the mental health impacts of lockdown in the journal Globalization and Health. Anxiety, depression, and self-rated mental health saw marked deteriorations in the MAVIE cohort, particularly in women, young people, elderly people, and those with less than 30 m2 of living space
Launched in October last year, the purpose of the COVIREIVAC platform coordinated by Inserm and F-CRIN in conjunction with 32 university hospitals and a network of 11 immunology laboratories is to conduct and promote first-class clinical vaccination research in France.
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.
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...
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, scientists are making significant headway in understanding the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the immune response it triggers at the time of infection. Researchers have provided new data on the very early stages of immune response.
The Discovery trial was originally launched in March 2020 by Inserm to evaluate possible treatments for Covid-19. On January 13th, 2021, the Discovery Europe trial Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMB) evaluated an interim report based on 776 patients of whom 389 received remdesivir and 387 received standard of care. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated after 15 days and measured on the WHO-7-point ordinal scale. As a result...
Pour faire face à la pandémie de Covid-19, mieux comprendre le virus et accompagner la prise en charge des maladies, les scientifiques de l'Inserm sont plus que jamais mobilisés.
A study by Inserm and Dijon University Hospital based on French nationwide data on around 130,000 patients hospitalized for either COVID-19 or seasonal influenza shows that the mortality rate among those admitted for COVID is three times higher than that of seasonal influenza.
