La complexité du vivant : l’Institut Jacques Monod
au cœur des avancées du XXIème siècle
The Protoseine Facility has just published a new paper in Journal of Chromatography B :
Capillary liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry for analysis of nanogram protein quantities on a wide-pore superficially porous particle column in top-down proteomics
Abstract
In top-down proteomics experiments, intact protein ions are subjected to gas-phase fragmentation for MS analysis without…
The Grange/Geigl team recently published a book chapter i Microbial Environmental Genomics (Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB,volume 2605)
Analysis of Ancient Microbial DNA
Abstract
The development of next-generation sequencing has led to a breakthrough in the analysis of ancient genomes, and the subsequent genomic analyses of ancient human skeletal remains have…
Invited by Paul Conduit, Susana Godinho (Barts Cancer Institute, London, UK) will give an IJM Seminar entitled :
Microtubules as mediators of stress responses and repair
Research
Cancer cells often contain extra centrosomes. The centrosome is the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells, an essential component of the cytoskeleton. In normal cells, centrosome number is tightly regulated,…
The first Monod-Diderot Lecture of the year will welcome Yves Barral (ETH Zürich) for a presentation entitled :
Mechanisms of microtubule specialization and its role in asymmetric cell division
Free access in Amphi Buffon - 15, rue Hélène Brion - 75013 Paris
Barral Lab:
Cells are the basic unit of life and have acquired in evolution not only…
The next Cytoskeleton Club session will be held on January 18th at the Institut Curie (Amphi Burg) with :
Foad Ghasemi (PhD Student, Romet-Lemonne / Jégou Lab - Institut Jacques Monod) : "New surprises from an old friend: Arp2/3, nucleation of actin filament branches and beyond"
Aurore Maciejewski (PhD Student, Jaulin Lab - Institut…
Invited by Sandra Duharcourt, Antoine Hocher (MRC, London Institute of Medical Sciences) will give on January 6th a seminar entitled :
Histones, beyond eukaryotes
Research
Our goal is to understand how what is happening inside the cell biases the incidence of mutations, affects their persistence, and, ultimately, shapes patterns of natural variation within and between species.
Some…
The Ladoux/Mège Team has just published a new paper in Biomaterials
Bioengineering a miniaturized in vitro 3D myotube contraction monitoring chip to model muscular dystrophies
Abstract
Quantification of skeletal muscle functional contraction is essential to assess the outcomes of therapeutic procedures for neuromuscular disorders. Muscle three-dimensional “Organ-on-chip” models usually require a substantial amount of biological…
The death on Thursday, December 8, 2022 of Michel Vervoort at the age of 52, leaves a huge void in the French scientific community, especially in the fields of Evo-Devo and in regeneration and stem cell research.
Michel was Professor in Developmental Genetics at Université Paris Cité, director of the Stem Cells, Development and Evolution team…
