Membrane Dynamics

Team description

Decoding how membrane dynamics sustain cellular and synaptic homeostasis

Our team investigates how membrane trafficking and membrane transport processes regulate the maintenance and adaptive homeostasis of mammalian cells, with a particular focus on neurons and synapses.

Our research focuses in particular on the role of specific subcellular compartments, including the lysosome and the dendritic spine.

Located within a highly collaborative environment, we combine expertise in electrophysiology, advanced imaging, and behavioral analysis to better understand spinal cord function and recovery.

Research areas : Spinal cord injury – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – Neural plasticity – Glial cells – Motor neuron physiology – Neuromodulation

Spinal motoneuron excitability is homeostatically regulated through β-adrenergic neuromodulation in wild-type and presymptomatic SOD1 mice.
