A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Biotherapy & large animal models of NMDs group

Biology of the neuromuscular system team (F.Relaix, IMRB, Créteil)

We study the skeletal muscles of the body that allow an individual to hold a posture, to move, to perform movements, to warm up and to breathe. These muscles are under voluntary control of the central nervous system and this is why we speak of the neuromuscular system. When the muscle does not develop harmoniously or malfunctions, we speak of myopathies or neuromuscular diseases. These diseases, sometimes fatal and very often debilitating, spontaneously affect children, adults, domestic animals and today remain mostly untreated.

Our research aims to provide physicians and veterinarians with molecular or cellular medical tools enabling them to avoid the appearance of these diseases and, when they do occur, to diagnose them with precision in order to treat them more effectively and sustainably. We work on animal and human neuromuscular diseases, convinced that this comparative medicine benefits our pets and patients by simultaneously improving animal well-being and improving the quality of life for patients and families.
