By elucidating the mechanism that enables the microscopic fungus "Candida albicans" to cause an infection, a CNRS research team has opened the way towards several new therapeutic...
When the outside temperature drops, our body may start to shiver. But that’s not all: it also triggers a series of coordinated reactions to maintain its temperature at 37°C. What are the mechanisms...
Few weapons are available to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which continue to cause millions of deaths. However, scientists are currently resuscitating a century-old solution, bacteriophages,...
Treatments such as chemotherapy tend only to be effective against the most proliferative cancer cells. At the Institut Curie, Raphaël Rodriguez and his team have opted for a unique approach. They...
Initially trained in biology and chemistry, Stéphanie Descroix now works in a highly multidisciplinary research field, that of microfluidics, a technology that enables the creation of mini-organs on...
A molecule that can thwart one of the principal mechanisms of tumour resistance to cancer treatments and thus improve patient survival…. This is what researchers in Lyon (France) may have succeeded...
