Disorders such as anxiety or depression have causes both psychological and environmental and a genetic component. However, it is not yet clear how each element affects the brain and generates anxiety and depressive symptoms. To better understand these interactions, a team from the Centre emotional remediation ...
05.09.2011 Researchers Successfully Perform First Injection of Cultured Red Blood Cells in Human Donor
For the first time, researchers have successfully injected cultured red blood cells (cRBCs) created from human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into a human donor, according to study results published today in
21.07.2011 The life cycles of many brown algae involve an alternation between two generations, called the sporophyte and the gametophyte. Each of these generations represents a complete and separate multicellular organism.
Genetic analysis of the model brown alga Ectocarpus has recently identified a mutation that ...
16.06.2011 Physicists at the T2K experiment in Japan, including scientists from CNRS and CEA/IRFU*, have announced that, for the first time, they have most likely detected the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos.With a probability of over 99%, the observation of this phenomenon will, if confirmed, ...
02.06.2011 A research team led by Hanna Debiec (Inserm) and Pierre Ronco (Inserm/UPMC and Tenon Hospital) has identified the bovine albumin, an alimentary antigen in cow milk, as the cause of a rare kidney disease among children under five. This disease is hard to treat and can lead to kidney insufficiency requiring ...
14.03.2011 The French National Center for Scientific research ties up with Singapore's and French research agencies and universities to develop innovative healthcare tools in Singapore.
The IPAL international joint lab - Image, Pervasive Access Lab, CNRS international joint research unit (UMI CNRS) entered in its next development phase marked by the addition of Université Pierre et Marie Curie ( ...

29.01.2011 The League of European Research Universities (LERU) argues for a long term and substantial investment in basic research.
The European research base has some of the highest levels of productivity and excellence in the world, but it is concentrated in those areas where it has been sustained by long-term ...
05.11.2010 An international team of astronomers, including several French researchers, is to measure the exact distance of five very distant galaxies, thanks to the Herschel Space Observatory, ESA and ground-based observations, especially involving the interferometer Institute of Millimeter Radio Astronomy. The ...
02.06.2010 Over the last decades, global warming has been accompanied by an increase in the taxonomic biodiversity of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the North Atlantic Ocean and a reduction in the average size of these organisms. ...
An international team of astronomers led by researchers at the CEA
, with teams from the CNRS and universities (UPMC, Paris Diderot University, University of Provence), detected for the first time in the early Universe a giant elliptical galaxy, very similar to its cousins in our local Universe. This ...
Several research groups have allied with industry partners to launch EndoStem, a large European collaborative project to advance the treatment of muscle diseases that affect a large number of patients. The project will promote the development of strategies involving skeletal muscle, blood vessels, immune ...
Massively used to treat hypertension, thiazides follow a simple mode of action: they promote the urinary excretion of body water, which reduces blood pressure and, consequently, reduces hypertension. Until now, a single target was known for this class of drugs. A team of researchers led by Dominique ...
08.04.2010 The porphyran, a polymer made up of sugars present in the cell walls of a red alga that is used notably in the preparation of sushi, is broken down specifically by an enzyme called porphyranase. This new enzymatic activity has been identified in marine bacteria and, surprisingly, in the bacteria that ...
25.03.2010 Results obtained by the group of Isabelle Cremer (Professor at UPMC) within the team INSERM U872 “Tumor and immune micro-environment” directed by Catherine Sautes-Freidman (PU-PH, Paris Descartes University) and part of the Cordeliers Research Center-CRC show for the first time that receptors called ...
25.03.2010 On the eve of the World Tuberculosis Day, researchers at the Cordeliers Research Center (Inserm, UPMC, Université Paris Descartes) have identified a new target for the treatment of infections caused by strains resistant to multiple antibiotics. Results of research which applications are already under ...
09.02.2010 Today, 11 PhD students began the demanding new dual doctoral program, “Science & Management”, offered by UPMC and the Collège des Ingénieurs. This dual program, which leads to a double PhD-MBA degree, is based on theoretical and practical management classes combined with the realization of an original ...
04.01.2010 UPMC, the CNRS, the CEA, the Observatoire de Paris and Paris-Diderot, Paris 7 and Paris-Sud 11 universities have established a Scientific Interest Group (Groupement d’intérêt scientifique-GIS) entitled MoTeSPACE (Moyens de Tests spatiaux franciliens pour l’astrophysique- Paris Region Space Test Equipment ...
