As part of an international collaboration, researchers from LI2D (SPI / Marcoule) and University of Warwick have highlighted the long-term benefits of the association between different marine microorganisms. The study published in Nature Microbiology shows that, contrary to what was admitted up to now, these microorganisms are in equilibrium and not in competition for micronutrients, because they form a complementary ecosystem.
In an article published the 10th of May in Nature Communications, some Research Teams of the Frédéric Joliot Institute (SBIGeM, SPI) discovered that a new histone variant called H2A.J accumulates in human fibroblasts in senescence.
A collaboration between researchers of the Yamanashi University (Japan) and the CEA showed that it is possible to characterize liver lesions from their elastic properties estimated virtually from MRI measurements of the molecular diffusion of the water. The MRI is thus an interesting option to succeed the conventional MRI elastography used in these exams, the latter with defects (low resolution images, heavy implementation). This work was published in the journal Radiology on June 12, 2017.
A Research Team of the SHFJ (LDM-TEP) has just developed an innovative radiopharmaceutical for lymphoproliferative diseases, [18F] Fludarabine.
A SIMOPRO Research Team has characterized a green mamba venom toxin, mambaquetine, which is proving to be a very promising therapeutic candidate for the fight against polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that causes cysts in kidneys
The free project PIWS is developed by NeuroSpin. It allows to assemble and serve the data of major European / international projects in population imaging for big-data analyzes. PIWS relies on CubicWeb, a semantic web software developed by the French company Logilab.
A team from the CEA Frédéric-Joliot Institute has developed new optical probes for non-invasive imaging. These chemical tools could lead to the development of diagnostic agents to better characterize the risk of aortic aneurysm.
Researchers of the Frédéric Joliot Institute show that the brain processes dynamics dynamically, as embedded and coherent structures of words
Researchers from the Frédéric Joliot Institute link the level of neuronal activity of regions involved in waking / sleep states and the level of neuronal swelling in these regions, observable by diffusion MRI.
The "DRF Impulsion" project COSMIC was born from a joint report by astrophysics researchers (CosmoStat / Sap, J.-L. Starck) and medical imaging - (NeuroSpin / UNATI, Ph. Ciuciu) affirming that the data acquisition mechanism radio astronomy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have similarities, and that the same mathematical models could be used to reconstruct both radio-astronomy and human brain images.

CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.
