Biomaterials: reconstructing the skin
To accelerate the healing of chronic or acute wounds that struggle to heal naturally, scientists from Inserm and Besançon University Hospital are developing a biomaterial that reproduces the architecture and physical properties of human skin. Grafted to the patient, it will boost tissue regeneration. Here we are at the heart of the Besançon health campus, […]

Marc Poirot: a fascination for exploring new therapeutic avenues
Since his studies, Marc Poirot has been captivated by the union of biology and chemistry, two disciplines which had previously been compartmentalised. From this marriage, the Inserm research director has studied new cholesterol transformation pathways and their involvement in breast cancer. This research was recently awarded the American Oil Chemists’ Society Schroepfer Medal. Ask researchers […]

Endocrine Disruptors: Can We Reduce Our Exposure?
Our exposures to endocrine disruptors – substances capable of interacting with our hormonal system and altering its function – are many, varied, and seem difficult to control. At the Institute for Advanced Biosciences in La Tronche, near Grenoble, an Inserm team is conducting a study to determine whether changing our consumption habits could reduce our […]
