L'équipe Vervoort vient de publier un nouvel article dans JEZ-B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution : On the hormonal control of posterior regeneration in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii   Abstract 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 dumerilii is…

L'équipe Ladoux/Mège vient de publier un article dans Nature Physics :   Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability Abstract: Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the environment on epithelial integrity remains elusive. By culturing epithelial cells…

L'équipe Minc vient de publier une nouvelle revue dans Journal of Cell Science : Mechanobiology of the cell wall – insights from tip-growing plant and fungal cells ABSTRACT The cell wall (CW) is a thin and rigid layer encasing the membrane of all plant and fungal cells. It ensures mechanical integrity by bearing mechanical stresses derived…

L'équipe Veitia vient de publier un nouvel article dans Clinical Genetics :   Recurrent missense variants in clonal hematopoiesis-related genes present in the general population   Abstract Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) consists in an abnormal expansion of a hematopoietic stem cell bearing an advantageous somatic variant. A survey of known recurrent somatic missense variants in DNMT3A, SF3B1, SRSF2 and TP53, some of the…
