The Collignon Lab recently published a new article in Non-coding RNA :
LADON , a Natural Antisense Transcript of NODAL , Promotes Tumour Progression and Metastasis in Melanoma
Abstract:
The TGFβ family member NODAL, repeatedly required during embryonic development, has also been associated with tumour progression. Our aim was to clarify the controversy surrounding its involvement in melanoma…
The Minc Lab recently published a new article in Cell Dynamics:
Cytoplasm mechanics and cellular organization
Abstract:
As cells organize spatially or divide, they translocate many micron-scale organelles in their cytoplasm. These include endomembrane vesicles, nuclei, microtubule asters, mitotic spindles, or chromosomes. Organelle motion is powered by cytoskeleton forces but is opposed by viscoelastic forces imparted by the surrounding…
The Cadoret Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in EMBO reports:
The nucleolar protein GNL3 prevents resection of stalled replication forks
Abstract:
Faithful DNA replication requires specific proteins that protect replication forks and so prevent the formation of DNA lesions that may damage the genome. Identification of new proteins involved in this process is…
Loïc Bideau (Gazave Lab) will defend his thesis:
Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying posterior regeneration in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii
The thesis defense will take place on Wednesday December 6th at 2pm in François Jacob room and will be in French.
The jury will be composed of:

Paul Conduit, CNRS Research Fellow and head of the "Regulation of microtubules in multicellular animals" team, was awarded the Impulscience 2023 prize by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation last night.
Paul Conduit's laboratory seeks to gain a fundamental understanding of how microtubule nucleation is spatio-temporally regulated in the context of multicellular animals.
Paul Conduit - Fondation Bettencourt Schueller…
