Treating sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease using deep brain stimulation will soon be possible, thanks to work carried out by Nathan Barbe under the supervision of Brigitte Piallat, a neuroscientist at GIN, and in collaboration with Fonds Clinatec and the CHUGA.

The impact of Parkinson's disease on the brainstem has so far been little studied. However, GIN researchers have just shown that some of its structures are able to reorganize themselves in Parkinsonian rats, providing evidence of specific neuroplasticity.

GIN researchers have shown that ribosomal protein composition varies according to organ, providing data to support the concept of specialized ribosomes.

Well known as a calcium channel for its role in muscle contraction, the RyR1 protein is also involved in muscle cell differentiation. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by GIN researchers and published in the scientific journal Cells.
