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.
During the 14th EANO annual meeting 3 members of INP team #8 presented their work on Glioma in a plenary conference «CDKN2A homozygous deletion is a strong adverse prognosis factor in diffuse malignant IDHmutant gliomas» Dominique Figarella Branger, a short talk «Plasmatic differential scanning fluorimetry profiles discriminate glioma patients from healthy controls» Emeline Tabouret and two posters «P11.06: Non epigenetic effect of vorinostat in glioblastoma cells» and «EB1-dependant long survival of glioblastoma cancer stem-like cells tumor
Nadia Merad Coliac, plastic designer, joined the NOSE (Nasal Olfactory Stemness and Epigenesis) team, as an Associate researcher. At the crossroads of several disciplines, she develops an experimental work of art and science, in the field of bioluminescence. She is considering a therapeutic application in patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Recently, Nadia published Lumière vivante - Théorie et pratique de la bioluminescence (Living light - theory and use of bioluminescence) - L’Harmattan eds.
Many members of the INP attended the annual Canceropole PACA meeting in the Palais des Congrès of St Raphaël on the 4th and 5th of july. In the frame of the translational research call, F. Devred (INP team 9) & E. Tabouret (INP team 8) presented the results and perspective of their project "Next generation plasma profiling of gliomas using nanoDSF: toward a new prognostic and monitoring tool"
INP team 8 and 9 and PINT members being part of the French Microtubule Network, several members presented their work at the 4th French Microtubule Network gathering in Rennes on the 1srt and 2nd july 2019, in the "Microtubules and their regulators : new therapeutic targets" session and the "Microtubules, assembly and regulation" session. Pascale Barbier presented her work "", Raphael Berges his work "Proscillaridin A exerts anti-tumor effects through"GSK3 activation and alteration of microtubule dynamics in glioblastoma" and François Devred a new method of "Functional screening of therapeutic agents and targets using nanoDSF "
An article entitled "Le CNRS et Aix-Marseille Université signent un accord avec la PME Vect-Horus sur la propriété intellectuelle", published in the CNRS Innovation Letter of 20 June 2019 and relayed by the INSB site, features the agreement signed by CNRS, AMU and Vect-Horus establishing the intellectual property rights regime and the exploitation of patents.
Our last work on IAPs : "Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) Determines Glioblastoma Stem‐Like Cell Fate in an Oxygen‐Dependent Manner" is now published in Stem Cells. We highlighted that pharmacological inhibition of IAPs by Smac mimetic GDC-0152 was able to decrease glioblastoma stem-like cells viability in hypoxia by decreasing cell proliferation and increasing apoptosis through ATR and TNFα pathways
During the last NeuroFrance congress held from May 22 to 24, 2019 at the Palais des Congrès in Marseille, the INP distinguished itself through 20 posters, 4 oral communications, and 1 symposium moderation, not to mention the organization of the "Art in Mind" exhibition, showing not only the richness and quality of his research but also his open-mindedness.
We are very excited to announce that our project "Artificial Intelligence for Onco-Plasma" carried out by Remi Eyraud from QARMA team of LIS in collaboration with team 8, team 9, team 10, and
INP platform PINT together with AFMB and IMM are glad to announce their first inter-platform interactome workshop entitled "Methods to study Molecular Interactions (Biomedical applications)" that will take place from monday december 7th to friday 11th 2020.
Looking to confirm the interaction between a drug and its target?
Wanting to characterize the interaction between a receptor and its ligand?
In this paper we reported two uncommon adult cases of Diffuse Leptomeningeal Glioneuronal Tumors (DLGNTs) diagnosed after DNA-methylation profiling. This study enlarges the clinical and molecular spectrum of DLGNTs which encompass a wide spectrum of tumors that has yet to be fully clarified, and suggest that this terminology appears unsuitable in some cases.
Romain La Rocca, third year PhD student in INP team 9 (Cytoskeleton and Neurophysiopathology), will present a part of his thesis work during the 1st NanoTemper Virtual Symposium on June 30th from 9 to 12h30. NanoTemper annual seminars bring together the researchers using NanoTemper instruments, or eager to discover new technologies and in different fields of research. During this event, Romain will show how to use the nanoDSF technology to study the quaternary structure of tubulin.
Christophe Leterrier, leader of the NeuroCyto team, has just published "The Cell Biologist's Guide to Super-Resolution Microscopy", a poster and accompanying review article for the "At A Glance" series of the Journal of Cell Science.
The Platform INteractome Timone - PINT is pleased to announce the arrival of the Tycho™ NT.6, the new nanoDSF instrument by Nanotemper. The Tycho is designed to characterize the quality of any protein within minutes, using only 10 µL of sample. This fast analysis is critical for choosing the batches, buffers, or conditions by comparing the relative stability of each sample along every step of an experiment, thus allowing an efficient assay and purification workflow development.
Christophe Leterrier, NeuroCyto team leader, will be one of the judges for the 46th Nikon Small World photomicrography and Small World in Motion video competitions. He will be the first French researcher to be on the judging panel for this prestigious competition.
Après près de 2 mois de fermeture du laboratoire, un plan de reprise des activité vient d'être mis en place pour une sortie de confinement progressive et évolutive en toute sécurité. La reprise de nos activités au laboratoire va se concrétiser à partir du 12/05 mais seulement de manière partielle. Il s’agit d’une part de respecter les recommandations de nos tutelles, d’autre part de travailler dans les meilleures conditions possibles sur le plan de notre sécurité qui reste notre première priorité.
Le projet « 80 plantes pour les 80 ans du CNRS » avance : la liste des plantes à commander a été établie. Les commandes seront passées dès que les jardineries pourront vendre les plantes ornementales. En effet, l’Etat a autorisé, en avril, la réouverture des jardineries et pépinières, pour vendre des graines, bulbes, plantes aromatiques et plants à vocation alimentaire. Les plantes décoratives ne sont pas remises à la vente, pour de meilleures conditions sanitaires d’achat.
Dans le cadre des actions de la lutte contre le COVID-19, conformement aux dispositions prises par Aix Marseille Université en concertation étroite avec le CNRS, CEA, INRAE, INRIA et INSERM, l'INP comme la plupart des laboratoires de recherche a fait don d'une grande partie de ses kits et consommables pouvant servir à prévenir, dépister et soigner dans le cadre de la lutte contre le COVID-19. Un grand merci à toutes celles et tous ceux qui ont participé au recensement et à la collecte de ces masques, gants, reactifs, etc ...
