Multicellular assemblies : Architectures, Properties, Engineering 20 October 2010, Paris
The properties of populations of cells are largely conditioned by the cell-cell and cell-environment interactions, conferring them unique features whose study greatly benefits from the use of micro-technologies. In return, these technologies are of great interest to engineer tissues in a first attempt to reproduce the structure and function of... [Read more]

The 3rd meeting of the European Observatory on NanoSafety (EONS) was held in Paris on October 6, 2010. Organized by the OMNT, this series of meetings is an initiative launched within the ENPRA consortium. Aimed at reviewing recent trends and research progresses in the field of environmental, health and safety issues associated with nanomaterials, EONS meetings involve a panel of experts including ENPRA partners and French experts from the OMNT.
Pr. Wim de Jong from the Dutch Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM, NL) offered a state-of–the-art on “In vivo kinetics and tissue distribution of solid nanoparticles”. Experts then presented and discussed a selection of recent articles from the literature including studies on nanoparticles detection and characterization, risk assessment and nanotoxicology.
Proceedings of the meeting will be published in the 3rd EONS report (to be released in December 2010). Excerpts from the first and second EONS reports are available (as pdf to download).
[Reduce]Nobel prize for « graphene » : what did the OMNT say ?
The readers of OMNT publications wouldn’t have been surprised by the choice of the Nobel Prize of Physics. Indeed, they have been informed very early and quite regularly on the strong potentialities of this material.
In December 2004, OMNT experts of Molecular Electronics reported for the first time the work... [Read more]
