Santiago Rivera gave two conferences on Alzheimer's diseaseThe first conference entitled “Alzheimer’s disease, fears and hopes” was given at the meeting of the management boards of the french Vaincre l’Alzheimer and the german Alzheimer Forschung Initiative foundations that was held on November 16th 2018 at the Novotel Hotel Marseille Vieux Port.
The second conference, in the context of the Conferences Cycle of the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona, was entitled “ Membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases are newcomers to the Alzheimer’s field ” ans was held on November 20th at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Barcelona.

New article from the Neural Degeneration and Plasticity teamThe latest work from the Neural Degeneration and Plasticity team, in collaboration with the BBB and neuroinflammation team of Michel Khrestchatisky: "The pro-amyloidogenic effects of Membrane-type 1-Matrix Metalloproteinase involve MMP-2 and BACE-1 activities, and the modulation of APP trafficking" is now published in the FASEB Journal (doi: 10.1096/fj.201801076R). Our data unveil new mechanistic insights supporting the pro-amyloidogenic role of MT1-MMP based on APP processing and trafficking, and reinforces the idea that MT1-MMP may become a new potential therapeutic target in Alzheimer’s disease.

New article from the NeuroCyto Team: Slow axonal transport of actin via hotspots and trailsThe latest work of the NeuroCyto Team (previously on bioRxiv) is now published in the Journal of Cell Biology. We collaborated with the Roy lab to reveal a new mechanism of slow axonal transport, based on the previous discovery of actin hotspots and trails. Hotspots are static actin clusters that appear and disappear within minutes every 3-4 µm along the axon. They generate the assembly of trails, long actin filaments that polymerize along the axon and collapse within seconds.

The INP welcomes Professor Emeritus Jean-Michel SCHERRMANNOn Friday, November 23, the INP welcomes Professor Emeritus Jean-Michel SCHERRMANN (University of Paris Descartes), for a seminar entitled "Why it is difficult to develop CNS drugs: lack of neuropharmacokinetic considerations?”
Developing efficient drugs for treating cerebral disorders remains a true challenge. Reducing the duration and cost of preclinical and clinical trials as well as identifying the wrong candidates, as quickly as possible, are key priorities. Such goals require translational research and strong interdisciplinary interactions.

New publication for the Neuro-inflammation and Multiple Sclerosis team (INP team 5) in Cytokine about the immunomonitoring of infliximab biotherapies
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.

GlioME team in collaboration with INT (Institute of Neurosciences Timone) published a new study in Journal of Neuroinflammation on the effect of Bevacizumab on glioblastoma-bearing mice, using 2-photon imaging
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.
