The Institute of NeuroPhysiopathology (INP) is a training and research centre of excellence that combines basic and translational research to study neural cell organisation, function and interaction, the molecular and cellular bases of major brain diseases, and to develop innovative cellular and molecular therapeutic strategies.
The PFNT Facility is a coherent set of exploration tools in neurobiology allowing research at the molecular, cellular and integrated levels.
In this paper, Daniel Bertin evaluated the immunological follow-up of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases and receiving anti-TNF biotherapy. Three commercial ELISA assays for monitoring soluble through levels of infliximab and anti-infliximab antibodies in serum showed a good global correlation of results. However, some quantitative discrepancies could change clinical decision. As a consequence, Daniel Bertin recommended to keep the same kit to perform a longitudinal follow-up of patients.
Aurélie Tchoghandjian-Auphan, CRCN CNRS from the GlioME team, in the Insitute of NeuroPhysiopathology, UMR CNRS 7051, was recently granted by ARC fondation for her project "Effects of Smac mimetics treatment on glioblastomas immune response".
Subsequently she was interviewed by :

Vous êtes médecin, pharmacien, interne en médecine ou biologie médicale et intéressé par les maladies auto-immunes et inflammatoires chroniques ?
Dépêchez-vous, il ne reste que quelques places pour la session 2019-2020 du DESU « Exploration et traitement des maladies auto-immunes » (coordination : Dr Sophie Desplat-Jégo – Faculté de Médecine de Marseille). Inscriptions jusqu'au 30 novembre 2019.
Our data show that VEGF blockade leads to an increased recruitment of monocytes and to an adjustment of dendritic cell subsets’ profiles, differing in their ability to induce an adaptive immune response. Altogether, they provide important new insights into the effects of Bevacizumab at the cellular level and into the spatio-temporal evolution of intra-tumoral innate immune cell densities.
The leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to understanding of the vital impact of oxygen and oxidation-reduction (redox) processes on human health and disease, exploring key issues in genetic, pharmaceutical, and nutritional redox-based therapeutics.

Congratulations to all the CNRS team for running the Marseille-Cassis race two weekends ago, and especially to Claude Villard (7th from the left, top row), INP team 9 and PINT facility member who ran this semi-marathon in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Next year, let's make a whole INP team (as usual, the race will take place on the last Sunday of October)!
For more information, head to the race's official website.
During the NeuroStories event, held on Monday October 7 at the Faculty of Medicine, Anne-Marie François Bellan gave a remarkable stand up on how our body vibrates to the rhythm of internal chronometers called circadian clocks. She also explained how the molecular clock uses small corpuscles and cell space to make our genes rhythm.

The cIMPACT-NOW Working Committee is the Consortium to Inform Molecular and Practical Approaches to CNS Tumor Taxonomy. cIMPACT-NOW was created in late 2016 —following publication of the 2016 Updated 4th Edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System— to provide a forum to evaluate and recommend proposed changes to future CNS tumor classifications.
The NeuroCyto team led by Christophe Leterrier was awarded two collaborative ANR grants in the 2020 call. The first project, “How actin/spectrin scaffold shapes axonal physiology” (ASHA), is coordinated by C. Leterrier in collaboration with the teams of Stéphane Vassilopoulos (Institut de Myologie, Paris) and Emmanuel Nivet at INP.
Laurie Arnaud will be presenting on the Neurobinar #3 on December 17 at 4 pm on Zoom.
For this third edition, NeuroMarseille is pleased to welcome Christelle Baunez (INT), Laurie Arnaud (INP) and Nada El Mahmoudi (LNSC/LNC). Laurie Arnaud and Nada El Mahmoudi will introduce their respective theses in a cross presentation. After a question and answer session, Christelle Baunez (INT) will explain her research on the role of basal ganglia (GB) in motivation and reward processes.
This paper entitled "SCENITH: A Flow Cytometry-Based Method to Functionally Profile Energy Metabolism with Single-Cell Resolution" presents a new technique to study the metabolic responses in multiple cell types in parallel by flow cytometry.
A successful partnership between the APHM Pathology department / the GlioME team and ID-Solutions industrial society (https://www.id-solutions.fr/fr/), has led to the developement of ready-to-use kits for the detection and quantification by digital PCR of key genetic alterations of brain tumours, specifically gliomas.
The Institute of NeuroPhysiopathology (INP) is a new laboratory of the CNRS/Aix-Marseille University created in 2018 that combines fundamental and translational research in a stimulating and friendly working environment (https://inp.univ-amu.fr). The INP is located on the Health Sciences Campus of La Timone, which is home to other leading neuroscience laboratories, bringing together more than 400 people covering a wide range of topics.
Dr. Emeline Tabouret (MCU-PH) and Dr. Chiara Bastiancich (Post-doc) from the GlioME team received the "Emergence" grant co-funded by the Canceropôle PACA and the Association pour la Recherche sur les Tumeurs Cérébrales (ARTC-Sud).
Le label « Plateforme Technologique Aix-Marseille » de la PlateForme NeuroTimone PFNT a été renouvelé pour une nouvelle période de 3 ans par AMU, l’Inserm et le CNRS. Pour mémoire rappelons que la PFNT est constituée des plateformes NCIS, PINT et SCeNT de l’INP et de INPHIM de l’INT. La PFNT offre un éventail de prestations technologiques en neurobiologie au niveau local pour les équipes de recherche et start up de Marseille mais aussi au niveau régional et national.
Une production théâtrale et une performance artistique qui auront lieu le 8 décembre à 19h30 (suite au confinement, la performance a été reportée pour la prochaine saison). Cette représentation, produite par Nadia Merad Coliac, est une œuvre inédite. Elle aura lieu à Paris au théatre Reine Blanche, scène des arts et des sciences. C'est la première fois qu'elle travaille pour un théâtre.
The Platform INteractome Timone - PINT is pleased to announce the arrival of a brand new Surface Plasmon Resonance Biacore T200 (Cytiva, ex GE Healthcare) designed to follow in real time interactions between free-labeled biomolecules from ions to viruses. The use of real-time measurement allows to provide association (kon) and dissociation (koff) rate constant of the interaction and to deduce its affinity (KD).
In this review, we focused on the most widely used 3D human glioblastoma models: spheroids, tumorospheres, organotypic slices, explants, tumoroids and glioblastoma-derived from cerebral organoids. We discuss their history, development and especially their usefulness.
