NEURATRIS AT "MEDECINE TRANSLATIONNELLE" (13th June, Paris)

Details

Created on Friday, 02 June 2017 08:08

NeurATRIS is pleased to announce that we will be participating to « Médecine Translationnelle au service de l’innovation Thérapeutique : Enjeux, Besoins et Opportunités » (13th June, Paris)

The goal of this day is to provide an overview of translational medicine platforms of key account (academic and pharmaceutical industries) in order to understand how they work, their needs and their roles in the value chain of discovery and development of therapeutic solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to hear P. HANTRAYE, NeurATRIS director, and learn more about NeurATRIS assets to work alongside in your translational projects in the Neuroscience field for the characterization of neurodegenerative diseases.

World Multiple Sclerosis day, May 31, 2017

On the occasion of World Multiple Sclerosis day, on May 31st, the french magazine "Sciences et Avenir" dedicates an article to promising recent work from Catherine Lubetzki's team at the Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) in Paris.

Several studies from the team have shown the importance of the remyelination process in patient health state. In its most frequent form, multiple sclerosis is indeed charaterized by inflammatory bursts in the central nervous system (brain and spine), followed by respite periods during which myelin is partially rebuilt.

New imaging techniques developped at ICM, more precise than MRI, allowed to show that this reparation "potential" differs a lot among patients : by injecting a specific tracer that fixes on myelin, before performing a PET scan, the degree of myelin degradation can be measured.

You can find the complete article (in French) on the magazine website.

MEASURE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PROGRESSION WITH A CUTTING-EDGE TECHNIQUE

Details

Created on Saturday, 26 November 2016 11:54

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the nervous central system leading to a progressive destruction of the myelin sheath surrounding the axons, essential for their protection and for the transmission of the nerve impulse. Bruno Stankoff and Catherine Lubetzki’s team developed a cutting-edge imaging technique which makes possible to visualize neuron demyelination and remyelination and to quantify their degeneration. These results, published in Annals of Neurology, open the way to better treatment for patients and to the evaluation of novel remyelination therapies.
