14th of March : Seminar from Manuel S Rodriguez

Previous studies using ubiquitin traps combined with mass spectrometry revealed that in Bortezomib (BTZ) resistant Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) cells, a selective autophagy mechanism, known as proteaphagy, was a main mechanism eliminating the proteasome and reducing the sensitivity to this treatment.

The defense will take place on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM, in the Edmond de Rothschild Library at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique (IBPC), located at 13 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 75005 Paris.

Seminar from Prof. Dennis KAPPEI

Telomere maintenance is a universal hallmark of cancers to sustain the unlimited proliferative potential. In ~85% of cancers, telomere shortening is mitigated by reactivated telomerase expression while the other ~15% use a recombination-based mechanism, termed Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT).
