COVID-19: we are looking for volunteers to improve our understanding of immunity
We are looking for volunteers to take part in the CORSER-5 study. The study was launched in March 2022 to compare the immunity of COVID-19-positive individuals at the very beginning of their infection period ("cases") with that of non-infected individuals ("controls"). The results could be used to establish a booster vaccination strategy for SARS-CoV-2 on the basis of patients' antibody...

A switch telling the brain when to learn and when to remember
The memory system alternates between periods of learning and remembering. These two functions are controlled by different neural circuits. Using an animal model, scientists from the Institut Pasteur recently identified a neural signal in the hippocampus, a brain region essential for forming and recalling memories, that enables the brain to alternate between remembering and learning modes. The...

Sara and Parisa Khalilian: twin theses
It's hard to miss this pair on the Institut Pasteur campus in Paris. Obviously they're twins, but there's more to them than that. Even a brief encounter with these two characters gives a sense of their energy, curiosity and abundant optimism. Full of enthusiasm, they take turns to tell us about the unique journey that led to them completing their theses at the Institut Pasteur. These determined,...

Why are sounds not perceived under anesthesia?
The purpose of anesthesia is to put the brain into an unconscious state in which stimuli such as sounds are not perceived. In this state, the neurons in the auditory cortex are still stimulated by sounds, but the latter are not perceived by the brain. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay have revealed a novel neural mechanism that accompanies the transition...

The Black Death shaped the evolution of immunity genes, setting the course for how we respond to autoimmune diseases today, researchers find
Researchers from the Institut Pasteur, McMaster University and the University of Chicago have identified genes that protected some individuals against the devastating bubonic plague pandemic that swept through Europe, Asia and Africa nearly 700 years ago. The same genes that once conferred protection against the Black Death are today associated with an increased susceptibility to autoimmune...
