Microphysio24: From organoids to organs-on-chips The 2nd edition of the MicroPhysio conference on "Micro-physiological models: From organoids to organs-on-chip" will take place at the CNRS center in Cargèse (www.iesc.univ-corse.fr) from September 23rd to September 27th, 2024. It is becoming increasingly clear that even the best in vivo models such as genetically-modified mouse models or orthotopic patient-derived xenografts cannot recapitulate the full complexity of human…

ImagoSeine – CAVIN1-Mediated hERG Dynamics: A Novel Mechanism Underlying the Interindividual Variability in Drug-Induced Long QT

Home publis, News3 May 2024

The ImagoSeine platform contributed to the publication of a new article in Circulation: CAVIN1-Mediated hERG Dynamics: A Novel Mechanism Underlying the Interindividual Variability in Drug-Induced Long QT Abstract: BACKGROUND: Drug-induced QT prolongation (diLQT) is a feared side effect that could expose susceptible individuals to fatal arrhythmias. The occurrence of diLQT is primarily attributed to unintended drug interactions…

Raote Lab – TANGO1 inhibitors reduce collagen secretion and limit tissue scarring

Home publis, News26 April 2024

The Raote Lab published a new article in Nature communications: TANGO1 inhibitors reduce collagen secretion and limit tissue scarring Abstract: Uncontrolled secretion of ECM proteins, such as collagen, can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis and compromise tissue function. Despite the widespread occurrence of fibrotic diseases and scarring, effective therapies are lacking. A promising approach would be…

Duharcourt Lab – Small-RNA-guided histone modifications and somatic genome elimination in ciliates

Home publis, News16 April 2024

The Duharcourt Lab published a new review in WIREs RNA : Small-RNA-guided histone modifications and somatic genome elimination in ciliates Abstract: Transposable elements and other repeats are repressed by small-RNA-guided histone modifications in fungi, plants and animals. The specificity of silencing is achieved through base-pairing of small RNAs corresponding to the these genomic loci to nascent noncoding…
