Just out from the NeuroCyto team: the ultrastructure of actin rings revealed
Our work on the ultrastructure of the periodic actin/spectrin scaffold along axons is out in Nature Communications.
La PFNT (Plateforme NeuroTimone) est un ensemble cohérent d'outils d'exploration en neurobiologie permettant des investigations aux échelles moléculaires, cellulaires et intégrées.
This partnership will marry the expertise of Vect-Horus in targeting tumors with its technology VECTrans® and the know-how of RadioMedix in developing and conducting pre-clinical evaluation and clinical trials with radiopharmaceuticals.

In an interview published by "La Provence" on November 30, 2018 Yvon Bertrand, President of Aix-Marseille University, explains that AMU is very proud of its contribution to the field of Artificial Intelligence but also to the development of companies such as "First Light Imaging", VECT-HORUS or Innate-Pharma. They are real success stories from public research.
L'équipe 9 "Cytosquelette et Neurophysiopathologie" de l'INP, conjointement avec plusieurs groupes leaders dans l'étude de la biologie de tau, a participé à une revue collective qui vient de sortir dans Acta Neuropathologica Communications. Cette revue résume les récentes avancées moléculaires , en physiologie comme en pathologie, de cette protéine à la structure si difficile à appréhender..

Titre : The elusive tau molecular structures: can we translate the recent breakthroughs into new targets for intervention?
Le dernier travail de l'équipe 9 de l'INP : "Tau regulates the microtubule-dependent migration of glioblastoma cells via the Rho-ROCK signaling pathway" est maintenant publié dans J. cell. Science. Ces travaux identifient pour la première fois le rôle et les mécanismes impliquant la proteine tau dans les processus d'invasion des glioblastomes, tumeurs cérébrales très agressives. Ces travaux soulignent le rôle de la protéine Tau comme une cible commune entre les cancers et la neurodégénératio
Professeur de Biophysique et Biomathématique à la Faculté de Pharmacie de Marseille, Hervé Kovacic est élu pour un mandat de six ans. La section CNU 85 gère les qualifications, promotions et primes des enseignant-chercheurs spécialisés en sciences physico-chimiques et ingénierie appliquée à la santé. Docteur Pascale Barbier, elle aussi membre de l'équipe 9 de l'INP a été nominé par le Ministère dans la même section CNU.
Jean-Michel Paumier, former PhD student in Team 1 (Neural Plasticity and Degeneration), has successfuly defended his thesis on Wednesday the 05th of December 2018. After few hours of a nice presentation followed by many questions, the examining board congratulated Jean-Michel for his good work and granted him the diploma of doctor in Neuroscience.
Vect-Horus announced today the signing of a research collaboration agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. The goal of this collaboration is to use Vect-Horus’ proprietary technology to transport various Janssen monoclonal antibodies to the brain for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This deal was facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation Limited.

Michel KHRESTCHATISKY, Director of the UMR7051 Institute of Neurophysiopathology at Aix-Marseille University / CNRS and co-founder of VECT-HORUS was invited at the third edition of “Translational neuroscience Day: challenges and opportunities” co-organized by DHUNE and NeurATRIS and hosted by BioFIT on December 10, 2019 (https://www.biofit-event.com/translational-neuroscience).
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 :

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.
