Regenerative medicine: senescent cells boost cell reprogramming
The major challenge currently faced in the field of regenerative medicine is how to reprogram differentiated adult cells into other cell types for tissue repair. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS have made a surprising discovery that cellular senescence, usually associated with aging, cancer and inflammation, promotes reprogramming, where cells revert back to a more embryonic-like...

Two major types of rabies that evolved in different ways
Scientists studying hundreds of genome sequences of the rabies virus at the Institut Pasteur have shown that two major viral types – bat rabies and dog rabies – evolved in different ways. These genetic data provide evolutionary models that may explain transmission between one species and another.Diseases transferred from vertebrate animals to humans represent a very real threat to human health....

How Helicobacter pylori survives gastric acidity
In a study published in PLoS Pathogens, researchers from the Institut Pasteur, in collaboration with the Institut Armand-Frappier (Canada), identified a novel nickel transporter in the gastric bacterial pathogen, Helicobacter pylori. This transporter is essential to allow H. pylori to survive the acidity of the stomach and thus to multiply and cause pathologies.The bacterium Helicobacter pylori...
