Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases defined by non-infectious nor toxic acquired myopathies. Amongst them, dermatomyositis […]


Abstract Mitophagy is a form of autophagy (a self-protective mechanism of living cells or organisms under various stressful conditions) that […]

Skeletal muscle fibers are built from fusion of myoblasts allowing the formation of myotubes. Those syncytia contain hundreds of nuclei […]

Abstract Coordinated movements, including locomotion, and their control, require proprioceptive information, i.e. information about muscle tone as well as position […]

Abstract Our group is interested in inherited neuromuscular diseases, and in particular in axonal forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases. Our focus […]

Abstract Satellite cells (SC) are Pax7+ tissue resident muscle stem cells, essential for muscle regeneration. SC are therefore considered as […]

Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is initiated by the secretion of growth factors – […]

Abstract The intricate morphology and molecular identity of axons is maintained for decades, but also continuously adapts to changes in […]
