The PFNT Facility is a coherent set of exploration tools in neurobiology allowing research at the molecular, cellular and integrated levels.
Nicola Allen - Associate Professor at the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, USA - est l'invitée de Neuroschool ce mois-ci pour un séminaire sur son domaine de recherche: "Astrocyte regulation of neuronal synapses". Dr Allen viendra donner son séminaire le 13 mai 2022 à 14h30 à l'amphithéâtre du CERIMED, sur le campus de la Timone (vue aérienne).
Le séminaire est ouvert à toute la communauté, et est organisé dans le cadre des séminaires tuteurés de NeuroSchool, à l'initiative des étudiants PhD.
Chiara Bastiancich, Post-doc in the GlioME team presented her ongoing GlioRET project at the European Symposium on Controlled Drug Delivery.
Her poster "Elucidating the tumor resection microenvironment of glioblastoma toward the development of fit-for-purpose local treatments" won over the cogress jury !
Emmanuel Snacel-Fazy, a 2nd year doctoral student in the GlioME team, won the best poster award at yesterday's "Conference Annuelle de L'institut Cancer et Immunologie (ICI)", Thursday 31 March 2022.
His work on the "Remodelling of the glioblastoma immune landscape by smac mimetic GDC-0152" has been appreciated and rewarded. Once again, congratulations!
Dr Romain Appay, pathologist at the Timone Hospital and PhD student in the GioME team, has published a new research paper entitled "Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumours are midline, FGFR1- mutated tumours" in the Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology journal.
The latest article for NPD team 1 has been published this month into the Journal of Neuroinflammation.
Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 5 (MT5-MMP) deficiency in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease reduces brain neuroinflammation along with amyloidosis, and prevents deficits in synaptic activity and cognition in prodromal stages of the disease. In addition, MT5-MMP deficiency prevents interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-mediated inflammation in the peripheral nervous system.
Don't miss the next Neuro'binar of NeuroMarseille with Emmanuel Nivet (Team 6) !
Next Tuesday, on March 22nd, 2022, at 1 pm online, discover Dr Emmanuel Nivet's work in the 13th edition of Neuro'binar:
🔘 Emmanuel Nivet (INP) will present his research topic entitled: "Human induced pluripotent stem cells to study the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease"
🔘 Hannah Ihme (INT) and Martha Montse Rangel-Sosa (IBDM) - Ph.D. students - will present each other's Ph.D. projects in 5 min.
If you want to know more about the treatment of glioblastoma with Gold Nanorods, click on the title "Well-Defined Polyethylene Glycol Microscale Hydrogel Blocks Containing Gold Nanorods for Dual Photothermal and Chemotherapeutic Therapy" , a publication co-authored by Chiara Bastiancich, post-doc in the GlioME team.
On december 10th 2022, PINT INP and Vect-Horus members met in the Hippodrome Borély for the "Course des Lumières" organized by Foundation Recherche Alzheimer. It was freezing but together with 600 or something others, they walked 5 km or ran 8 km, to light up the night against Alzheimer's disease and for all patients, carrying a luminous object. See a few pictures below
The Cancéropole PACA has created a web page for the PETRA platform with all the necessary information and the contact form: PETRA web page.
In collaboration with other teams, the glioME team participated in two new scientific publications:
"Deciphering the heterogeneity of the Lyve1+ perivascular macrophages in the mouse brain": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35166-9
"Challenges in glioblastoma research: focus on the tumor microenvironment": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36400694/
Our team is pleased to welcome Mensah Loko for a 6 months Master internship (from November 2022) in Integrative Biology and Physiology: Integrative approach to the functions of life: from gene to pathology. The subject of his internship is the role of Adrenomedullin expressed by glioblastoma-associated endothelial cells in promoting a stable and functional angiogenesis.
We are happy to celebrate the release of 3 first author papers on Myotoxin-3 from a snake venom as a new microtubule targeting agent, on the mechanism of action of Zinc induced aggregation of tau, and a review article on tau as a therapeutic target for cancer, for team 9 three PhD students : Cecilia, Dahbia and Rayane, this month :
