Africans and Europeans have genetically different immune systems... and Neanderthals had something to do with it
The immune system can be highly active in some people but much less effective in others. This has major implications for the protection of the organism against pathogens – but what is the reason for these differences? To lay the foundations for the establishment of personalized medicine, we need to dissect the factors that affect our response to viral and bacterial infections so that we can...

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: llama antibodies detect cerebral lesions
The major challenge facing physicians treating Alzheimer's is the ability to detect markers of the disease as early as possible. These markers, located in the brain, are difficult to access, hampering diagnosis. Using two types of llama antibody capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Inserm, the CNRS, the CEA, Pierre & Marie Curie and Paris...

Sleeping sickness: parasites found hiding in the skin
Scientists from the Trypanosome Cell Biology Unit (Institut Pasteur/Inserm), working in collaboration with scientists from the University of Glasgow, have demonstrated the presence of a large quantity of trypanosomes – the parasites responsible for sleeping sickness – in the skin of individuals with no symptoms. This discovery should refocus the screening strategy for this disease,...

Too much fat rapidly disrupts the balance of the gut microbiota
A destabilizing factor such as a change in diet can disrupt the entire gut microbiota, with possible health consequences. An international study led by the Molecular Microbial Pathogenesis Unit (Institut Pasteur/Inserm), directed by Philippe Sansonetti, has recently demonstrated in mice that a high-fat diet has a direct influence on the gut microbiota and its environment. Bacterial communities...
