Publication of the IGFL in the journal eLife on June 9, 2023. Communication on Jully 12, 2023. In nature, it's all a matter of perception: it's by knowing their environment that living beings can react to it. Our cells, for example, are able to perceive the presence of bacteria on contact. But how? Using the fruit fly - Drosophila melanogaster - as a model, a research team led by the Institute of Functional Genomics of Lyon (IGFL, CNRS/ENS de Lyon) has described a new mechanism by which intestinal cells can "sense" and adapt to the bacteria in the microbiota.

Publication of the CRAL in the journal Nature on December 6, 2023. Press alert of CNRS on December 6, 2023. Galactic winds enable the exchange of matter between galaxies and their surroundings. In this way, they limit the growth of galaxies, that is, their star formation rate.

Publication of the LGL-TPE in the journal Tectonophysics on April 28, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INSU on June 12, 2023. A research team has recently published a study on the mechanism of crustal flow in the journal Tectonophysics . They have reconstructed the evolution of the Wenchuan fault, located to the east of Tibet, over the last thirty million years.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory and the LIP in the journal PRX Quantum on April 18, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INP on June 13, 2023.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory in the journal Nature on June 14, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INP on June 14, 2023. A research team involving members of the Physics Laboratory of ENS de Lyon has demonstrated the existence of a new form of order never before identified in nature: 'non-orientable' order, which can endow simple structures with properties that enable them to store information.

Publication of the Chemistry Laboratory in the journal Nature Comunication on April 1st, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INC on April 20, 2023. Historically developed for macroscopic systems, thermodynamics is the science that allows to precisely define pressure and temperature by focusing on a system's energy flows.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory in the journal Nature Physics on May 4, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INSIS on May 9, 2023. The more solids a gel contains, the more solid it is. However, this principle is not sufficient to explain all the mechanical behaviors observed in reality. An international team has discovered that the macroscopic mechanical properties of gels are due to heterogeneities in their structure, inherited from the singular microstructure that the material adopts at the very moment of its gelation.

Publication of the LIP in the ACM MSWiM Conference proceedings on October 24, 2022. Communication of the CNRS-INS2I on April 14, 2023. "This site can't be reached, check your Internet connection".

Publication of the CRAL in the journal Science on March 30, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INSU on April 14, 2023. In this study, published in the journal Science , an international team involving French scientists from the Lyon Astrophysics Research Center (CRAL - OSUL, CNRS / ENS de Lyon / Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University) and the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris (IAP, CNRS/Sorbonne University) focus on one of the processes involved in the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Professor, Department of chemistry and biomolecular sciences, University of Ottawa, Canada Affiliated Professor 2023-25 - April 21 to May 21, 2023 (Stays planned in January 2024 and April 2025) Inviting Researcher: Carine Michel Javier Giorgi is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ottawa.

Publication of the CIRI in the New England Journal of Medicine on November 30, 2023. Press release of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University on November 30, 2023. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) affected 1,100 children. This is the most severe form of COVID-19-associated disease in pediatric patients.

Publication of the LBMC in the journal Current Biology, on August 21, 2023. Communication of CNRS-INSB on August 30, 2023. Some animal species systematically destroy part of their DNA in their somatic cells. Why do they do this? But how? This programmed elimination of the genome, discovered 150 years ago, remains mysterious in the absence of suitable means of study.

Publication of the Physics Laboratory in the Physical Review Fluids on April 4, 2023. Communication of the CNRS on April 3, 2023. Extreme heat events are rare, but have significant consequences on living beings and their environments. Anticipating their arrival is a major challenge. In an article published in Physical Review Fluids on April 4, an interdisciplinary team of French scientists, including members of the Physics Laboratory of ENS de Lyon, unveils an artificial intelligence able to predict heat waves.

Publication of the Chemistry Laboratory in the journal PNAS on March 7, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INC on March 28, 2023. Electroporation consists of perforating the cell membrane with an electric field to pass a therapeutic substance through it. A team from the Chemistry Laboratory (CNRS/ENS de Lyon/Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University) and their colleagues from the University of Freiburg im Breisgau have published in the journal PNAS some essential elements for understanding this widely used but still little understood phenomenon.

Publication of the CIRI in the journal Science Translational Medicine on March 15, 2023. Press realease of the INSERM on March 17, 2023. A large proportion of the population has developed immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following infection and/or vaccination. In addition, some infected patients benefit from a so-called "hybrid" immunity when they have been vaccinated after their infectious episode.

Publication of the Chemistry Laboratory in the journal Nanomedicine on March 17, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INC on March 20, 2023. A consortium of European researchers led by two Lyon laboratories - the Chemistry Laboratory (CNRS/ENS de Lyon/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) and the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center ( CNRS/Claude Bernard Lyon 1 university/Jean Monnet University/Inserm) - is proposing a new "multi-technique" imaging agent (MRI, X-ray, fluorescence..) targeting amyloid-? (A?) plaques, the first pathological signs of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Publication of the LGL-TPE in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A on January 11, 2023. Press realease of the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University on February 10, 2023.

Publication of the RDP in the journal The Plant Cell on February 8, 2023. Press realease of the INRAE on February 8, 2023. Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and therefore agricultural production. Understanding how plants assimilate nitrogen is essential for developing sustainable agriculture using less fertiliser.

Publication of the LGL-TPE in the journal Nature Communications on January 21, 2023. Communication of the CNRS-INSU on February 3, 2023. The abiotic reactions that allow the formation of complex, potentially prebiotic organic molecules are a missing key to determining where life may have emerged. The limited variety and simplicity of the abiotic organic molecules observed have long discredited the theory of a hydrothermal origin for the emergence of life on Earth.

Publication of the LGL-TPE in the journal Nature, on July 26, 2023. Communication of CNRS-INEE on August 1st, 2023. Paleogenomic analyses carried out on individuals from the Neolithic burial site of Gurgy "les Noisats" (Yonne), in the Paris Basin, have enabled the family trees of two families to be reconstructed on an unprecedented scale.
