The physiological role of lipid asymmetry in intracellular membranes remains poorly understood. However, this asymmetry plays a key role in many cellular processes, including membrane trafficking and autophagy. A new publication by Toshihide Kobayashi's group in the BIMC team, led by Yves Mély, demonstrates that sphingomyelin (SM)a lipid…

Active targeting of tumor cells relies on the use of ligands capable of specifically binding to receptors that are overexpressed on their surface, such as EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). Among these ligands, monoclonal antibodies and aptamers are promising tools for the targeted delivery of therapeutic molecules (chemotherapy agents,…
Sophie Martin, , head of the OnKO • 3T team, has received a national grant of €60,729 from the JetonsCancer Endowment Fund, an initiative led by Rotary France. This funding, which is entirely dedicated to research, will enable the purchase of a HUMIMIC Chip+ system, a state-of-the-art device for developing innovative “tumors-on-a-chip” models. A…
The aim of the Laboratory of Bioimaging and Pathology is to use multidisciplinary (biology/chemistry/physics) and multi-scale (from molecule to patient) approaches to study, at both fundamental and applied levels, the properties and roles of a limited number of key biomolecules involved in various pathological processes. Our approach is to develop new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches in oncology and microbiology based on information obtained at the fundamental level. A key feature of the unit is the parallel development and characterisation of innovative fluorescence-based tools, methods and techniques to answer these questions. This multidisciplinary approach, which combines the development of innovative fluorescence and imaging tools to address biological questions, is unique in the French scientific landscape.
