Bioengineering a miniaturized in vitro 3D myotube contraction monitoring chip to model muscular dystrophies
Abstract
Quantification of skeletal muscle functional contraction is essential to assess the outcomes of therapeutic procedures for neuromuscular disorders. Muscle three-dimensional “Organ-on-chip” models usually require a substantial amount of biological…
The death on Thursday, December 8, 2022 of Michel Vervoort at the age of 52, leaves a huge void in the French scientific community, especially in the fields of Evo-Devo and in regeneration and stem cell research.
Michel was Professor in Developmental Genetics at Université Paris Cité, director of the Stem Cells, Development and Evolution team…

The Vervoort Team has just published a new paper in 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…
The Greenberg Lab is recruiting!
Place: Institut Jacques Monod, Paris 13th district
Duration: Full time, one year
Start of contract: February 1, 2023
During early mammalian development, the DNA methylation landscape is profoundly
remodeled. The candidate will use molecular biology and embryonic cell culture to
help us explore non-conventional ways that DNA methylation can impact gene
regulation and genome organization during this…
The Ladoux/Mège Team has just published a new paper in 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…
Co-leader of the "Regulation of actin assembly dynamics" team, Antoine JEGOU, CNRS Research Director at the Institut Jacques Monod, has just received the Impulscience 2022 prize awarded by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation.
The Impulscience Prize
Since this year, the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation has been offering a new programme to support the great French talents in life sciences…
