Bonjour Didier,
Nous sommes attentifs à ces excellents contenus sur le COVID long.
Récemment, nos équipes ont publié de nouvelles découvertes sur la persistance du SARS-CoV-2 dans le tronc cérébral et son impact sur l'activité neuronale : www.pasteur.fr/fr/espace-pr...

Courage dans votre parcours.

Covid long : le SARS-CoV-2 persiste à long terme dans le tronc cérébral et dérègle l’activité des neurones

Plusieurs mois après l’infection au SARS-CoV-2, des symptômes peuvent perdurer chez certains patients. Les scientifiques de l’Institut Pasteur montrent chez un modèle animal, que le SARS-CoV-2 infecte...

Many thanks for pointing this out.
The graph shows ARI (Acute Respiratory Infections) rates, which include COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory viruses - not just COVID rates specifically.
We're updating the caption and article to correct this. Much appreciated for keeping us accurate!

🦠 COVID update: "Frankenstein" variant spreading in France

+37% suspected cases but levels are not alarming.
This Omicron sub-variant is more contagious but no more dangerous than predecessors.

"The name Frankenstein seems excessive" - no evidence it's more harmful.

COVID-19: how worried should we be about the Frankenstein variant?

As long as the SARS-CoV-2 virus is still circulating, there is a possibility of new, less intense but persistent waves in France and around the world. In September 2025, the Frankenstein variant, a su...

I'm very happy to announce that our article has just been published online in Communications Chemistry!

Thank you @hollensteinlab.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to work on this project! 🧬

@pasteur.fr @commschem.nature.com

Probing three-dimensional cyclooctatetraene for nucleobase modification in aptamer selection - Communications Chemistry

Chemical modifications of aptamers can enhance binding properties, however, the design of suitable functional groups remains challenging. Here, the authors introduce cyclooctatetraene (COT)-modified nucleotides in SELEX experiments, identifying COT-aptamers with low nM dissociation constants, highlighting the potential of three-dimensional ligands in aptamer discovery.
