Abstract My research activity during last decade is dedicated to study the structure, function and physiological importance of KCC2, a […]
Abstract Neurons with their elaborate and extended morphology must employ homeostatic mechanisms that allow neuronal mitochondria to exist far away […]
Within the nucleus of eucaryotic cells, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins in order to form a structure called chromatin. […]
Thesis under embargo
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases defined by non-infectious nor toxic acquired myopathies. Amongst them, dermatomyositis […]
Abstract Mitophagy is a form of autophagy (a self-protective mechanism of living cells or organisms under various stressful conditions) that […]
Skeletal muscle fibers are built from fusion of myoblasts allowing the formation of myotubes. Those syncytia contain hundreds of nuclei […]
Abstract Coordinated movements, including locomotion, and their control, require proprioceptive information, i.e. information about muscle tone as well as position […]
Abstract Our group is interested in inherited neuromuscular diseases, and in particular in axonal forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases. Our focus […]
Abstract Satellite cells (SC) are Pax7+ tissue resident muscle stem cells, essential for muscle regeneration. SC are therefore considered as […]
Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is initiated by the secretion of growth factors – […]
Abstract The intricate morphology and molecular identity of axons is maintained for decades, but also continuously adapts to changes in […]
Abstract Muscle cells are characterized by the presence of several nuclei regularly spaced beneath the plasma membrane. Whether this particular […]
Human cytogenetics is a discipline aimed at studying the structure and function of the chromosomes of our species. In the […]
Abstract Copy number changes in 16p11.2 contribute significantly to neuropsychiatric traits. Besides the 600 kb BP4-BP5 (breakpoint) CNV found in […]
Abstract Regeneration of tissue is intimately linked to function of the immune system. Although it is widely agreed that inflammatory […]
Tissue repair after skeletal muscle injury is supported by various cells and notably by macrophages that orchestrate both the inflammatory […]
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe childhood muscle disease characterized by the absence of dystrophin, a structural protein […]
