Communication service

The IGF Communication Service ensures the IGF’s visibility. It relays institutional, scientific and administrative information within the IGF concerning the 3 supervisory bodies.

It also acts as an intermediary between the supervisory bodies and scientists to promote scientific work.

SKILLS / EXPERTISE

• Study of the role of intercellular communication mechanisms (synaptic neurotransmission and gap junctional coupling) in the propagation of biological signals in endocrine/neuroendocrine tissues (anterior pituitary and adrenal medulla). Implication in hormone secretion.

• Investigation of the remodeling of stimulus-secretion coupling in the adrenal medullary tissue in response to stress and to stress-related disorders (arterial hypertension) Approach on acute adrenal slices and on organotypic cultures. Combined measurements of electrical signals (patch-clamp) and cytosolic calcium changes real-time confocal imaging), monitoring of secretory events (catecholamines secretion) by amperometry in acute slices.

• Study of the role of the sodium-leak channel NALCN in chromaffin cell excitability and stimulus-secretion coupling (electrophysiological approach on adrenal acute slices.

• Keywords: neuroendocrine network; stimulus-secretion coupling; adrenal medullary tissue; cholinergic synapses; gap junctions; hormone release; chromaffin cells; stress; development; electrophysiology; calcium imaging; amperometry; tissue slices.
