International Network of Pasteur Institutes: deepening the scientific collective strategy
Three years ago, the scientific community of the Institut Pasteur International Network (IPIN) expressed its desire to build a comprehensive strategy in order to strengthen its positioning and establish itself as a global public health authority. The Scientific Steering Committee of the Institut Pasteur International Network(COS-RIIP) was created in August 2019 to help achieve this goal....

COVID-19 pandemic: The Institut Pasteur International Network collective effort
To this day, SARS-CoV2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 pandemic, has been identified in more than 180 countries. It unfolded a once-in-a-century public health crisis, through his extensive impact on global economy directly caused by confinement measures. To confront these challenges, the 32 member institutes of the Institut Pasteur International Network (IPIN) are swinging into...

A comprehensive analysis of midbodies, bridges between dividing cells
Scientists at the Institut Pasteur have developed a method to isolate midbodies, bridges that link cells undergoing cytokinesis. Using the latest mass spectrometry methods, they produced a comprehensive inventory and revealed the presence of 1,732 proteins! By characterizing three of these proteins in detail, they pinpointed novel molecular mechanisms involved in both cell division and virus...

COVID-19: mathematical model indicates that between 3% and 7% of French people have been infected
The SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has resulted in extreme measures, with several countries imposing a lockdown on their residents. Like much of the rest of Europe, France has been badly affected by the outbreak; it introduced lockdown measures on March 17 with the aim of significantly reducing the circulation of the virus among the population. To help understand and manage this unprecedented health...

Achilles’ heel for reseeding of the viral reservoir after stem cell transplantation in people with HIV
Current HIV treatments efficiently block viral multiplication but cannot cure infection as they do not target HIV infected cells. HIV cure or profound HIV remission have been described in three persons with HIV who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation to treat severe blood cancers. However, this procedure has not eradicated the virus in other persons. A work led by scientists from the...

LuLISA project, bioluminescence as a tool for human diagnostics, from allergy to Covid19
The LuLISA (Luciferase-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) research project aims developing high throughput serological tests for epidemiological studies at local, regional or nation scales. In a recent scientific publication, concerning the detection and dosing of IgE specific to several allergens in patients’ blood samples, the use of LuLISA proves to be a vastly improved detection method in...
