An international scientific team, including Université Côte d'Azur Professor Vivien Parmentier, has gained new insights into the atmosphere of a « mini-Neptune », a common type of planet in the galaxy but about which little is known. Vivien Parmentier's contribution was to develop the theoretical models that determined that a heavy atmosphere is necessary to reduce heat transport from the day side to the night side of the planet. -

A study conducted by the Valrose Institute of Biology (Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, Inserm), published in Nature Communications in February 2023, has identified an axonal guidance pathway in Drosophila that is essential for the construction of an asymmetric neuronal circuit, which is in turn critical for long-term memory. This work opens up new prospects for the study of brain asymmetry and its multiple functions. -

Brain function is regulated by synapses that establish communication between neurons. A new study, led by Dr. Paula Pousinha, Associate Professor at Université Côte d'Azur and the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology (IPMC, Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS), in collaboration with the team of Dr. Luisa Lopes (iMM; Portugal), has shown that a protein involved in Alzheimer's disease has a dual function in regulating the activity of neuronal synapses in early development and in old age. These results were published on 27 January 2023 in the journal Aging Cell. -

Neutron star collisions and stellar explosions are the two most violent events in the universe. They both emit powerful bursts of gamma radiation called gamma-ray bursts. Our understanding from the thousands of gamma-ray bursts observed to date is that they are of two types, with different origins: the short ones (less than 2 seconds) are due to collisions, and the long ones (more than 2 seconds) are associated with explosions. A new gamma-ray burst has challenged this simple classification, which was thought to be well established. -
