Greenberg Lab – Conservation and divergence of canonical and non-canonical imprinting in murids

Home publis, News15 March 2023

The Greenberg's team has just published a paper in Genome Biology. Conservation and divergence of canonical and non-canonical imprinting in murids Abstract Background Genomic imprinting affects gene expression in a parent-of-origin manner and has a profound impact on complex traits including growth and behavior. While the rat is widely used to model human pathophysiology, few imprinted…

Camadro Lab – Extending the Range of SLIM-Labeling Applications: From Human Cell Lines in Culture to Caenorhabditis elegans Whole-Organism Labeling

Home publis, News8 March 2023

The Camadro team has just published in Journal of Proteome Research a new paper (in collaboration with ProteoSeine, Dumont Lab and Ladoux/Mège Lab): Extending the Range of SLIM-Labeling Applications: From Human Cell Lines in Culture to Caenorhabditis elegans Whole-Organism Labeling Abstract The simple light isotope metabolic-labeling technique relies on the in vivo biosynthesis of amino acids from U-[12C]-labeled molecules…

Minc Lab – Size- and position-dependent cytoplasm viscoelasticity through hydrodynamic interactions with the cell surface

Home publis, News22 February 2023

The Minc team has just published a new paper in PNAS: Size- and position-dependent cytoplasm viscoelasticity through hydrodynamic interactions with the cell surface Abstract Many studies of cytoplasm rheology have focused on small components in the submicrometer scale. However, the cytoplasm also baths large organelles like nuclei, microtubule asters, or spindles that often take significant portions of…

Dumont Lab – Synergistic stabilization of microtubules by BUB-1, HCP-1 and CLS-2 controls microtubule pausing and meiotic spindle assembly

Home publis, News20 February 2023

The Dumont team has just published a new paper in eLife: Synergistic stabilization of microtubules by BUB-1, HCP-1 and CLS-2 controls microtubule pausing and meiotic spindle assembly Abstract During cell division, chromosome segregation is orchestrated by a microtubule-based spindle. Interaction between spindle microtubules and kinetochores is central to the bi-orientation of chromosomes. Initially dynamic to allow…

Romet-Lemonne/Jégou Lab – The Arp2/3 complex contributes to the regeneration of branched actin filament networks

Home publis, News15 February 2023

L'équipe Romet-Lemonne/Jégou has just published a new article in Biophysical Journal : (ABSTRACT VOLUME 122, ISSUE 3, SUPPLEMENT 1, 166A-167A, FEBRUARY 10, 2023) The Arp2/3 complex contributes to the regeneration of branched actin filament networks Actin filaments are one of the indispensable components of almost all cell types. These semi-flexible filaments constitute an important part of the…
