AFT3, a new target for cancer treatment
Over the course of a cell's life those endure many stresses, some of which result in DNA damage. To have time to repair these lesions, cells inhibit fundamental processes including transcription, a mechanism that allows gene expression. Frédéric Coin and Jean-Marc Egly’s team at the IGBMC showed that the degradation of the AFT3 protein is essential to restart the transcription once the lesions are repaired. This discovery may optimize certain chemotherapies based on the mechanism of stress. These results are published in the journal Molecular Cell on December 7, 2017.

Launch of the call "Hurricanes 2017" - Disaster, Risk and Resilience
Last August and September 2017 was marked with unprecedented extreme weather events made of a succession of extreme power hurricanes especially in the Lesser Antilles and the Gulf of Mexico (Irma, Jose, Maria, Harvey). In the face of these sadly extra-ordinary events, the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation has decided to commit and launch, with the National Research Agency (ANR), a call for research projects on these phenomena and their environmental and social consequences.

Sur les traces des militants des années 1968 en France : une analyse socio-politique d’envergure
À quoi ressemblent les Piétons de Mai 68, ces militants ordinaires qui se sont engagés pour transformer la société et le cours de leur vie, et que sont-ils devenus ? En confrontant les récits et les données biographiques de près de 400 ex-activistes à Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes et Rennes au regard du contexte historique, les chercheurs du projet ANR SOMBRERO dressent un portrait inédit des parcours des soixante-huitards, bien éloigné de l’image commune de la « génération 68 ».
