L'équipe Jackson/Verbavatz a récemment publié dans Journal of Biomedical Optics : Enhanced neuroimaging with a calcium sensor in ex-vivo Drosophila melanogaster brains using closed-loop adaptive optics light-sheet fluorescence microscopy   Résumé : Significance Adaptive optics (AO) has been implemented on several microscopy setups and has proven its ability to increase both signal and resolution. However, reported configurations are not suited…

L'équipe Romet/Lemonne/Jégou a récemment publié dans Physical review : Models of vimentin organization under actin-driven transport Résumé : Intermediate filaments form an essential structural network, spread throughout the cytoplasm, and play a key role in cell mechanics, intracellular organization, and molecular signaling. The maintenance of the network and its adaptation to the cell's dynamic behavior relies on…

L'équipe Greenberg a récemment publié dans Development : Non-canonical imprinting in the spotlight   Résumé : Classical genomic imprints are regulated by parent-specific DNA methylation levels inherited from the gametes in mammals. Imprints control gene expression in a parent-of-origin manner and are essential for development. A distinct class of so-called ‘non-canonical’ imprints was recently discovered; these are…

Le nouvel article scientifique de l'équipe Doye a été publié en couverture et en highlight du journal Journal of Cell Science : Y-complex nucleoporins independently contribute to nuclear pore assembly and gene regulation in neuronal progenitors Résumé : Besides assembling nuclear pore complexes, the conduits of nuclear transport, many nucleoporins also contribute to chromatin organization and gene…

Nous leur adressons toutes nos félicitations ! L'EMBO est une organisation internationale de chercheurs et chercheuses en sciences de la vie…

L'équipe Gazave a publié récemment dans Journal of Experimental Zoology part B: Molecular and developmental evolution : On the hormonal control of posterior regeneration in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii Résumé : Regeneration is the process by which many animals are able to restore lost or injured body parts. After amputation of the posterior part of its body, the annelid Platynereis…

L'équipe Camadro vient de publier dans Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education : A field guide for implementing a flipped classroom Résumé : The way flipped classrooms are perceived and even practiced by teachers is sometimes approximate. For instance, while the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed many universities to adopt distance learning, flipped classrooms have often been mentioned as…
