Restriction-modification (R-M) systems are often regarded as bacterial immune systems, protecting cells from infection by foreign mobile DNA. However, previous results from our group1 found more R-M systems in genomes carrying more mobile DNA […]
To escape predators or to acquire rewards, animals need to anticipate movements. How does the brain accomplish this task? Scientists at the Institut Pasteur have recorded the activity of neurons in the frontal cortex […]
Location Pasteur Institute Metchnikoff building, Ground Floor Room Jules Bordet Date Thursday, 17th november at 2:30 p.m Topic of the seminar : Live Imaging: How to preserve the fluorescence of your cells? How to […]
Listeria monocytogenes is the bacterium responsible for human listeriosis, a very severe foodborne infection. A study published in Nature Genetics reveals the high heterogeneity of the pathogenicity of L. monocytogenes strains. This work is based on the study […]
Joost Wauters- Ziekenhuis University (Leuven, Belgium) Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) typically occurs in a severely immunocompromised host and isolation of Aspergillus species in the immunocompetent host is mostly considered colonization. Overall, the six-week mortality […]
After such a long time without onsite-scientific meetings, what a great day that was ! The “Ancient DNA journey: from humans to human pathogens and microbiomes”meeting was an exciting event with great speakers sharing […]
Type 2 secretion systems transport proteins in a folded form. The recognition signal that allows specific secretion of type 2 substrates has remained elusive, despite years of studies. In collaboration with the team of […]
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the proportion of people aged over 60 will nearly double between 2000 and 2050, reaching 22% of the global population. At the same time, early-life conditions remain […]
Vaccines and immunotherapies have had a major positive impact on public health world-wide through disease prevention and treatment that can be measured in millions of lives saved. Despite the successes, we still face major […]
A virus originally found in animals, mpox – which causes the disease of the same name – is now circulating in humans. Since 2022, it has been the cause of major epidemics spreading outside […]

The Institut Pasteur in Greece is a non-profit establishment. This institute, based in Athens, was created in 1919. It operates directly under the authority of the General Secretariat of Scientific and Technological Research and the […]
The INRS – Institut Armand-Frappier is a Canadian national institute in the province of Québec, affiliated with the National Institute for Scientific Research (INRS) of the University of Québec. It is member of the Institut […]
Founded in 1893, the Institut Pasteur in Tunis operates under the authority of the Tuisian Ministry of Health. It was notably under the direction from 1903 to 1936 of Charles Nicolle, who won the Nobel prize in […]
The Stem Cell Concept – Constructing, Deconstructing and Reconstructing Tissues for organismal health Human biology and molecular medicine are rapidly becoming data-rich fields that are fueled in part by large-scale longitudinal studies of patients […]
The very fast development of live cell imaging, image processing and high throughput single cell sequencing have generated a wealth of data regarding the behaviour of individual cells. Yet, how those single cell […]
