The brain impacts of infection with SARS-CoV-2, responsible for COVID-19, are increasingly well documented in the scientific literature. Researchers from Inserm, Lille University Hospital and Université de Lille, at the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition unit, in collaboration with their colleagues at Imperial College London, focused more specifically on the impacts of this infection on a population of neurons known for regulating sexual reproduction via the hypothalamus (the neurons that express the GnRH hormone).

The Lille-based teams of Professors François Pattou (Université de Lille, CHU de Lille, Inserm, Institut Pasteur de Lille) and Philippe Preux (Université de Lille, Inria) have developed a tool capable of predicting, in a personalized way, the weight loss expected over 5 years in a patient after bariatric surgery.
Developing silicones that are friendlier toward health and the environment
Polysiloxanes, the scientific name for silicones, possess exceptional properties, and are used in numerous fields ranging from cosmetics to aerospace. They are absolutely everywhere! However, small cyclic oligosiloxanes impurities - including substances classified as toxic for the environment and identified as potential endocrine disruptors - can form during their synthesis.

Research DIRCOM Along the AlpSatellites’ Journey
The AlpSatellites project, aimed at verifying the potential of remote working in alpine and remotes areas, is moving forward. It is scheduled for completion in February 2024 and, at the present time, the collection of quantitative survey data has almost been completed. One of the AlpSatellites' project goals is, in fact, understanding the evolving landscape of remote working.

Difficulty staying awake may seem trivial, but it's the main symptom of one of the most severe sleep disorders: narcolepsy. In Montpellier, the Centre de référence des narcolepsies et hypersomnies rares (Inserm/University/CHU de Montpellier) headed by Yves Dauvilliers is conducting cutting-edge research into this disease.
A unique lipid signature guides cytokinesis in plant cells
Publication of the RDP in the journal Science Advances, on July 19, 2023. Communication of CNRS-INSB on August 28, 2023. Cytokinesis in multicellular organisms dictates how cells are organized in a tissue, their identities and functions. A study conducted by the Plant Reproduction and Development Laboratory (RDP - CNRS/ENS de Lyon/Inrae) and published in Science Advances , presents a quantitative analysis of cytokinesis steps in the model plant Arabidopsis using high-resolution microscopy approaches.

Cascading genomic rearrangements induced by toxic DNA repair intermediates
Publication of the LBMC in the journal Genes and Development, on August 4, 2023. Communication of CNRS-INSB on August 21, 2023. DNA breaks disrupt the integrity of the chromosome and the genetic information it contains. In an article published in the journal Genes and Development , scientists from the Laboratory of Biology and Modelling of the Cell (LBMC - CNRS/ENS de Lyon), in collaboration with teams from the USA, have further characterized a mechanism that puts genome stability at risk.

Scientists have discovered fossil evidence of a cyclical climate on Mars, with wet and dry seasons like those on Earth. This environment, in which simple organic molecules have already been discovered, may have provided ideal conditions for the formation of complex organic compounds. This work opens up new prospects for research into the processes underlying the origin of life, of which no vestiges remain on Earth.

Numerous studies are now reporting the harmful effects of air pollution on the central nervous system (neurodegenerative diseases in adults, neurodevelopmental disorders in children). Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, is a neurodegenerative disease of the optic nerve whose principal characteristic is thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer.

When cells listen to their microbiota
Publication of the IGFL in the journal eLife on June 9, 2023. Communication on Jully 12, 2023. In nature, it's all a matter of perception: it's by knowing their environment that living beings can react to it. Our cells, for example, are able to perceive the presence of bacteria on contact. But how? Using the fruit fly - Drosophila melanogaster - as a model, a research team led by the Institute of Functional Genomics of Lyon (IGFL, CNRS/ENS de Lyon) has described a new mechanism by which intestinal cells can "sense" and adapt to the bacteria in the microbiota.

Contrary to prior assumptions, ancient Egyptian painters did at times push the boundaries of convention. Artistic creations supposed to be copies of canonical images were in fact often adapted and reworked during their execution. This discovery was made using new, portable chemical imaging tools that leave the artworks intact.
To understand the main determinants behind worldwide antibiotic resistance dynamics, scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Inserm, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Université Paris-Saclay developed a statistical model based on a large-scale spatial-temporal analysis. Using the ATLAS antimicrobial resistance surveillance database, the model revealed significant differences in trends and associated factors depending on bacterial species and resistance to certain antibiotics.
An international scientific team, notably from the Institut de Systématique Évolution et Biodiversité ( ISYEB ), has just identified the smallest species of singing cricket ever described, whether fossil or present-day, in opaque amber from the Cretaceous period (around 100 million years ago - Ma) in the Charentes region of France.
Babies and puppies have at least two things in common: aside from being newborns, they promote a positive emotional state in human mothers, leading them to articulate better when they speak. This finding is the result of research by an international team 1 that included Alejandrina Cristia, a CNRS Researcher at the Laboratoire de sciences cognitives et psycholinguistique (LSCP) (CNRS/EHESS/ENS-PSL).
