Teams from SCBM and SIMoS (DMTS) have developed nano-micelles for the vectorization of an active principle which regulates cholesterol metabolism towards atherosclerotic lesions.
Researchers at the LIAA (SPI/DMTS) have shown that pre- and perinatal exposure of mice to titanium dioxide increases the risk of developing a food allergy, particularly in males.
A team from NeuroSpin has recently published 3 papers that address the question of how we perceive time from a cognitive neuroscience perspective, using real-life temporal experiments, laboratory experiments and MEG brainwave measurements indicative of the passage of time, and that shed light on how the brain constructs our experience of lived time.
A collaborative study between SPI and a team from Hôpital Louis Mourier demonstrates the contribution of liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to the day-to-day analytical needs of a clinical laboratory. Application to the rapid quantification of biomarkers in acute hepatic porphyrias.
Researchers at NeuroSpin have recently published 3 articles in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine on their technological and methodological developments that will help meet the challenges of ultra-high field MRI for tomorrow's medical brain imaging.
NeuroSpin researchers map chimpanzee brain structural connectivity for the first time using diffusion MRI data. New image processing enabled them to create two atlases of deep and superficial white matter connectivity. A step towards a better understanding of the evolution of the hominid brain.
A collaboration involving the I2BC has modelled the structure of the complex between HSF2BP and a fragment of BRCA2, which is essential for DNA repair by homologous recombination. The researchers propose a mechanism for regulating the unexpected ring-like assembly of this complex.
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from UNICOG and BAOBAB use high-field functional MRI to reveal the brain areas where the representations of quantities generated by a mental arithmetic operation are encoded.
In an article published in Nature Communications, researchers from the I2BC show that applying a fragmentation strategy to the protein partners of assemblies depending on intrinsically disordered regions very significantly improves AlphaFold2's prediction capacity.
Devices such as lights and strobe glasses that are supposed to make reading easier for dyslexic people actually have no impact. These are the findings of a study conducted by a team from UNICOG (NeuroSpin) and published in the journal Proceedings Royal Society.
