Invitée par l'équipe Greenberg, Daphne S. Cabianca (Institute of Functional Epigenetics, Helmholtz Munich) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème :
3D genome under stress: How an animal´s nutritional status shapes chromatin architecture
Résumé :
Outside of the lab, all organisms are constantly exposed to a changing environment, such as temperature shifts, a variable availability of nutrients…
Invitée par l'équipe Prioleau, Anne-Laure Valton (GenPhySE - INRAE Toulouse) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème :
Chromosome folding and gene expression
Résumé :
Chromosomes are the physical templates for many crucial molecular functions in the nucleus: gene expression, DNA repair and DNA replication. During interphase, chromosomes are folded by two main mechanisms which are phase…
Invitée par l'équipe Courtier, Olga Nagy (University of Szeged, Albert Szent-gyorgyi Medical School, Department of Forensic Medicine, Hungary), présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème :
Challenges in forensic genetic investigation of archived biological traces
Résumé :
The discovery of microsatellite DNA loci suitable for personal identification were quickly introduce to routine forensic investigations in the late…
L'équipe Romet-Lemonne/Jégou a contribué à la publication d'un nouvel article dans Nature structural & molecular biology :
Cortactin stabilizes actin branches by bridging activated Arp2/3 to its nucleated actin filament
Résumé :
Regulation of the assembly and turnover of branched actin filament networks nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex is essential during many cellular processes, including cell migration…
L'équipe Guichet a publié un nouvel article dans Cells :
The Importance of the Position of the Nucleus in Drosophila Oocyte Development
Résumé :
Oogenesis is a developmental process leading to the formation of an oocyte, a haploid gamete, which upon fertilisation and sperm entry allows the male and the female pronuclei to fuse and give rise to…
L'équipe Romet-Lemonne/Jégou a publié un nouvel article dans Science Advances :
Regeneration of actin filament branches from the same Arp2/3 complex
Résumé :
Branched actin filaments are found in many key cellular structures. Branches are nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex activated by nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) proteins and bound to the side of preexisting “mother” filaments. Over time,…
Symposium on cortical and spinal organoids - January 29th, 2024
The symposium on cerebral and spinal organoids is organised by the enSCORE platform of the Université Paris Cité (Labex "Who am I?", Institut Jacques Monod, Epigénétique et Destin Cellulaire) and the DIM C-BRAINS.
It focuses on innovative 3D models of nervous system development in organoids derived from…
The Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), a leading center for fundamental interdisciplinary research in biology, is seeking to appoint at least two new group leaders.
The Institute comprises 28 international research groups working in the fields of biophysics, cell and developmental biology, evolution and genome biology. The IJM is affiliated with the Centre National de la Recherche…
Invité par l'équipe Gazave, Anaïs Bardet (CNRS, IGBMC, Strasbourg), présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème :
Transcription factor sensitivity to DNA methylation
Résumé :
Multicellular organisms establish and maintain different transcriptional states in disparate cell types through complex and specific regulation of gene expression. This regulation is mediated by the cooperative binding of transcription factors to…
Invité par l'équipe Pintard, Arnaud Echard (Institut Pasteur) présentera un séminaire IJM sur le thème :
Cell division: the final cut
Résumé :
We are interested in one of the most fundamental questions in biology: How a cell divides into two daughter cells. We particularly focus on cytokinesis, the last step of cell division leading to the…
