New funding by IFRO for HOTSPOT (Heterogeneity of OsteoclasT precursorS in PeriodOnTitis)
The REGOS team of the INSERM UMR_S 1229 RMeS laboratory is pleased to announce that the HOTSPOT project has been funding by the IFRO (Institut Français pour la Recherche Odontologique) 2021 grant. HOTSPOT will be coordinated by Alexandra Cloitre (INSERM UMR_S 1229 RMeS) and will be carried out with Frederic Blanchard (INSERM UMR_S 1238, Phy-OS) with the support of Emilie Hascoët, Julien De Lima and Philippe Lesclous. HOTSPOT aims to identify and characterize inflammatory osteoclast precursors in gingiva from periodontitis patients. These cells may contribute to the alveolar bone loss and, in fine to dental loss associated to periodontitis.
Award for J. Guicheux
STEP team is happy to announce that Jerome Guicheux recently received the « Jean Bayle-Lespiteau » Achievement Award from the «Fondation de l’Avenir » (FDA). We are very grateful to FDA board and those who nominated him. STEP team has worked with this health research and innovation dedicated foundation for almost 20 years. This Award is a high honor and also a tribute to the alumni and current members of the STEP team that contribute to make our research a source of hope for patients with joint diseases.

New fundings from SFR
SFR (Société Française de Rhumatologie) has decided to fund 2 RMeS projects : METABONE, led by Dr Sarah Beck-Cormier which aims to understand the role of the PiT2/SLC20A2 protein in bone pathologies associated with metabolic abnormalities & SPHERODISC led by Dr Anne CAMUS. This project aims to characterize the cellular interactions regulating disc tissue homeostasis in a human stem cell-derived organoid model. These investigations will contribute to the discovery of symptom-modifying factors or new therapeutic targets and in the long term to the emergence of innovative treatments that should bring strong benefits to patient with back pain and age-related intervertebral disc diseases.

EVENDO project
The REGOS team of the Inserm U1229-RMeS laboratory is pleased to announce that the EVENDO project won the European Society of Endodontics (ESE) Annual Research Grant 2020. The EVENDO project will be hosted in the research laboratory Inserm U1229 and will be coordinated by Alexis Gaudin with the support of Angelique Galvani, Valerie Geoffroy, Davy Aubeux, Solène Tessier, Pierre Weiss, and Fabienne Pérez. The specific goal of “EVENDO” project is to carry out a detailed characterization of extracellular vesicles derived from primed dental mesenchymal stem cells (pDMSC-EVs) to investigate their involvement as modulators of mesenchymal stem cells anti-inflammatory effects inducing macrophage polarization and to explore whether these pDMSC-EVs may become a valuable tool for promoting dental pulp regeneration.

New funding by FRM for DISCAFF project
The STEP team is pleased to announce the funding of the DISCAFF project in response to the 2021 call for proposals "Reparative medicine" from the French Medical Research Foundation (FRM). DISCAFF is a collaborative research project that will be coordinated by Jerome Guicheux and Catherine Le Visage (INSERM UMRS 1229-RMeS). DISCAFF will aim to develop new bio-inspired materials for intervertebral disc repair in partnership with the CNRS UMR 5247 laboratory (Montpellier, X. Garric) and the Institute of Orthopaedic Research and Biomechanics (Ulm, Germany, H-J Wilke). DISCAFF will be supported by the FRM for 3 years.
New funding by ANR for PARKA
The STEP team is pleased to announce the recent funding of the PARKA proposal as an ANR collaborative research project. PARKA will be coordinated by Laurent Beck (RMeS), with Marie-Hélène Lafage-Proust (Sainbiose Inserm UMR1059, St Etienne), David Magne (ICBMS CNRS 5246, Lyon) and Denis Fouque (Carmen Inserm UMR1060, Lyon) as partners. The aim is to decipher the mechanism of action of phosphate in the development of vascular calcification in the context of chronic kidney disease, with the ultimate goal to identify putative therapeutic targets able to counteract its deleterious effects in humans. To this end, our consortium proposes an integrated approach encompassing the entire spectrum of phosphate regulation (from its intestinal absorption to its local vascular effects and systemic role) and the transfer of our findings in mice to humans.
New funding by ANR for IDEAL-3D
The REGOS team of the Inserm U1229-RMeS laboratory is pleased to announce the recent funding of the IDEAL-3D proposal as an ANR collaborative research project. IDEAL-3D will be coordinated by Sylvain Catros (BIOTIS, Bordeaux) with Alexandra Cloitre and Philippe Lesclous (RMeS), with Lise Chagot (BIOTIS, Bordeaux), with Makoto Miyara (CIMI, Paris) and Nicolas Courtois (ANTHOGYR, Sallanches). The aim of this project is to fabricate and evaluate an in vitro 3D model representative of the processes of osseointegration and soft tissue integration of dental implants, using Bioprinting techniques, in order to serve as a reliable and reproducible platform for research in implant dentistry.
