Abstract:
The present Inventors demonstrated that the RelB subunit of NFκB plays a crucial role in promoting cell migration. More precisely, they identified that this pro-migratory activity is mediated by the activation of the NFκB pathway through RelB phosphorylationat serine 472. In a first aspect, the present invention proposes to monitor the activation of the NFκB pathway by following the phosphorylation status of said serine. Also, the present invention discloses methods and kits for prognosing the evolution of a disease involving cell migrationin a subject –treated or not -suffering thereof, based on the detection of said RelB-S472 phosphorylation.
Abstract:
A noninvasive ventilation mouthpiece (10) comprises a first end, provided with connection means (12) for connecting the mouthpiece to a gas supply system (20), a second end (14), to be placed in a patient's mouth during use of the mouthpiece, and a tubular body (16) joining the first and second ends. The tubular body (16) includes at least a flexible portion and the second end (14) is adjustable in one or several directions (F1, F2) with respect to the first end (12), via bending of the flexible portion.
Abstract:
This method for processing data for evaluating a quality level of an original dataset resulting from an automated sequencing of a chain of nucleotides, wherein said sequenced chain comprises a plurality of predefined identified regions and said original dataset represents a plurality of total mapped reads, comprises - sampling (32) of the plurality of total mapped reads of said original dataset to produce a subset comprising a plurality of sampled mapped reads; - for each said data subset, computing (34) a dispersion indicator for each identified region, representative the divergence between an actual read count intensity and a theoretical read count intensity, the actual read count corresponding to the number of sampled mapped reads in this identified region, the theoretical read count corresponding to a theoretical number of sampled mapped which does not depend on the current sampling.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the technical field of liver diseases, their classification and diagnosis. It provides a new method for classifying a liver sample between non- hepatocellular sample; hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) sample with further classification into one of subgroups G1 to G6; focal nodule dysplasia (FNH) sample; hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) sample with further classification into HNF1A mutated HCA, inflammatory HCA, β catenin mutated HCA or other HCA sample; and other benign liver sample, based on determination in vitro of genes expression profiles and analysis of the expression profile using algorithms calibrated with reference samples. The invention also provides kits for the classification of liver samples, and methods of treatment of liver disease in a subject based on a preliminary classification of a liver sample of said subject.
Abstract:
Method for identifying a breast cancer likely to respond to treatment with everolimus comprising the following steps: Measuring the level of expression of the LKB1 gene in a breast tumour sample previously taken from a breast cancer patient, Classifying the breast cancer as likely to respond to treatment with everolimus if the LKB1 gene is under- expressed in said breast tumour sample.
Abstract:
La invención se relaciona con el uso de agonistas del receptor beta-3 adrenérgico en una terapia combinada para el tratamiento de enfermedades metabólicas como hiperglicemias, resistencia a la insulina, diabetes tipo 2 y dislipidemias. En dicha terapia se combina la administración de un agonista del receptor beta-3 adrenérgico con un agonista del receptor de GLP-1 o un agonista de PPARα, ambos compuestos capaces de reducir el apetito, reducir el incremento de peso e incrementar el gasto energético mediante la movilización de la grasa. La presente invención muestra que la administración combinada de dichos compuestos presenta un efecto sinérgico enla reducción de la grasa corporal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the prevention of liver graft infection by HCV and/or HBV in a patient infected by HCV and/or HBV in need of liver transplantation, and to the treatment of a patient chronically infected by HCV and/or HBV. More specifically, this invention relates to allogeneic lymphocytes expressing a "suicide gene" to prevent infection by HCV and/or HBV of a liver graft and to treat a patient chronically infected by HCV and/or HBV. The invention also concerns a lymphocyte bank comprising a plurality of allogeneic lymphocytes expressing a "suicide gene".
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to materials and methods concerning the IL-1 receptor family protein ST2. Use of soluble ST2 as a marker for cardiovascular disease or disease outcome is provided, in particular as a marker of the risk of mortality.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for predicting whether a patient with a cancer is likely to respond to an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, which method comprises determining the expression level hsa-miR-31-3p miRNA in a sample of said patient. The invention also relates to therapeutic uses of an EGFR inhibitor in a patient predicted to respond to said EGFR inhibitor.
