We have the pleasure to introduce to you Michelle Haddad, our new CIFRE PhD student, who will work with us and PETALES laboratory (Procédés Et Transformations Alimentaires et Effets sur la Santé, Transformations & Agroressources, ULR 7519, UniLasalle Beauvais) to develop an in vitro intestinal model including microbiota actors. We Read more…
Wound healing is a crucial physiological process rehabilitating the unity of the skin barrier. Inflammation in wound healing is a weapon with two edges. It is indispensable but must be strongly regulated both temporally and spatially. In this recent study, Li et al. show skin commensal S. epidermidis produces a Read more…
The skin is inhabited by Bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses, collectively referred to as the skin microbiota. These commensals serve as first line of defense at the skin surface and play a vital role in both the establishment and maintenance of the skin’s immune system. Among the bacteria, some of Read more…
Skin commensals are crucial in the maintenance of the epithelial barrier function, regulation of the host immune system, and prevent invasion of other pathogenic microbes. In this article, published in September 2018, Burmeister et al show that Staphlylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Corynebacterium, and anaerobes have both beneficial and harmful effects depending Read more…
Veronique obtained an engineering degree from the Toulouse agronomic school (ENSAT) in 2017, with a specialization in biotechnology at AgroParisTech. During her studies, she worked on the cholinergic receptors structure of the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis during a 3-month internship in the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Read more…
We were in Saint Malo for the first meeting on DYRKs related disease
3D cell models are now attracting a huge interest from scientists working both on toxicity and pharmacology assay development. They are considered more relevant at mimicking the in vivo situation. However, phenotypic assays on these models can be challenging, and are at least more complex.
Since few years, the technology is more and more used to finaly create organ-on-a-chip and now body-on-chip with different organs.
