Announcements
Launching of the INSERM French network : NetwOArk
RMES is happy to announce the launching of the INSERM French network dedicated to peripheral and spine osteoarthritis : NetwOArk. Jerome Guicheux will serve NetwOArk as national coordinator with Francis Berenbaum as a co-coordinator. NetwOArk aims bringing together all the scientific actors involved in osteoarthritis research in order to federate and promote the emergence of high-level scientific works in this field. NetwOArk is created for 4 years and is supported by INSERM, Aviesan and ITMO PMN. NetwOArk is organized around 4 work packages coordinated by Claire Vinatier and Esther Potier (WP 1 pathophysiology), Khorng Ea and Yves-Marie Pers (WP2 disease bio markers), Christelle N’Guyen and Jeremy Sellam (WP3 prevention and treatment) and David Moulin and Emeline Perrier-Groult (WP4 innovation). A first scientific event will be organized in 2020 to gather the French actors involved in Osteoarthritis research. We hope to meet you all to share recent advances in basic, translational and clinical research dedicated to this incurable and disabling disease.
New funding of BIOREGATE
The STEP team (UMR 1229 INSERM-Nantes University-ONIRIS) is pleased to announce that the project DISCODOG was awarded of BIOREGATE (Région Pays de la Loire) grant (veterinary clinic grant). The project is led by Johann CLOUET and Marion FUSELLIER. This project will be performed in collaboration with the MINT laboratory (INSERM 1066 CNRS 6021) in Angers (Elise LEPELTIER).The two objectives of DISCODOG are to develop a new therapeutic tool to treat discogenic lumbalgia, consisting in miRNA encapsulated in lipid nanocapsules and to validate a new method to detect early signs of disc degeneration in canine patients. After intradiscal injection in clinic dogs, security and efficacy of the treatment will be followed by the mean of orthopedic and neurologic examination as well as by MRI, during 6 months. 120 k€ will be dedicated to the DISCODOG project during 2 years. The project will begin during the first semester of 2020..

Consortium iPSpine in Nantes
On Jan. 29th and 30th, the consortium iPSpine (Induced pluripotent stem cell-based therapy for spinal regeneration) meeting was held in Nantes (Passage Ste Croix) and organized by RMeS team. This 5-year project falls under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme to fund research that improves knowledge, testing, and exploitation platforms that address the future of advanced therapies in Europe. The project is coordinated by Professor Marianna Tryfonidou at Utrecht University.
