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.

The Konstantinides Lab published a new article in The FEBS Journal :
Evolution of patterning
Abstract:
Developing tissues are patterned in space and time; this enables them to differentiate their cell types and form complex structures to support different body plans. Although space and time are two independent entities, there are many examples of spatial patterns that…

The Veitia Lab recently published a new article in Nucleic Acids Research :
The forkhead DNA-binding domain binds specific G2-rich RNA sequences
Abstract:
Transcription factors contain a DNA-binding domain ensuring specific recognition of DNA target sequences. The family of forkhead (FOX) transcription factors is composed of dozens of paralogs in mammals. The forkhead domain (FHD) is a…
Le Ladoux / Mège recently contributed to the publication of a new article in Nature Cell biology :
A mechanosensitive caveolae–invadosome interplay drives matrix remodelling for cancer cell invasion
Abstract:
Invadosomes and caveolae are mechanosensitive structures that are implicated in metastasis. Here, we describe a unique juxtaposition of caveola clusters and matrix degradative invadosomes at contact…
The Camadro Lab recently contributed to the publication of a new article in Briefing in Bioinformatics :
The five pillars of computational reproducibility: bioinformatics and beyond
Abstract:
Computational reproducibility is a simple premise in theory, but is difficult to achieve in practice. Building upon past efforts and proposals to maximize reproducibility and rigor in bioinformatics, we present…
The Courtier Lab recently published a new article in Current Opinion in Insect Science :
The loci of insect phenotypic evolution
Abstract:
Insects are important elements of terrestrial ecosystems because they pollinate plants, destroy crops, transmit diseases to livestock and humans, and are important components of food chains. Here, I used Gephebase, a manually curated database of…
On December 8, 2023, the Conférence Monod-Diderot will welcome Erin Schuman (Max Planck Institute for Brain Research) who will speak on the theme:
Local Neuronal Transcriptomes and Proteomes
Abstract
"The complex morphology of neurons, with synapses located 100’s of microns from the cell body, necessitates the localization of important cell biological machines and processes within dendrites and…
