Microplastics are no longer confined to oceans and soils; they also circulate in the air we breathe every day. Released in particular from synthetic textiles during handling, wear, or degradation, these particles — often invisible to the naked eye — can remain suspended for long periods and be inhaled on a daily basis.

Bertin Nuclear, a Bertin Technologies brand, in partnership with SUETS, won a tender in early 2026 from CNESTEN in Morocco. CNESTEN is the Moroccan national institution responsible for the development of nuclear science and technology. It is involved in strategic areas such as research, the production of radioisotopes for medicine, radiation protection, and nuclear safety. […]

Protecting plant health goes beyond terrestrial ecosystems. Ecosystems are deeply interconnected: there is no clear boundary between land and marine environments. Plant health concerns all living systems and plays a decisive role in maintaining the overall balance of natural environments.

Indoor air quality plays a decisive role in both animal and human health in livestock production. Farming activities and veterinary environments generate large amounts of airborne microorganisms that can spread through the air. This mode of transmission is frequently associated with the emergence and spread of highly infectious diseases.

Current events in the Middle East have brought nuclear and radiological safety to the forefront of international concerns. Airstrikes near nuclear sites, heightened vigilance by authorities, and the IAEA’s mobilization: the events of recent weeks underscore the critical importance of a preventive approach and a robust response capability in the face of radiological risks. A […]

Summer body? Great. A healthy colon? Even better! What you eat doesn’t just shape your silhouette — your dietary habits strongly influence your overall health and well‑being. Some cancers, such as colorectal cancer (CRC), are directly linked to what you eat. While diet has long been known to shape the gut microbiota, it was not […]

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited kidney disorders worldwide. It is characterized by the progressive formation of cysts in the kidneys, which can lead to severe complications and, ultimately, kidney failure. In the absence of curative treatments, research plays a key role in improving our understanding of the […]

France has taken a significant step forward in protecting young workers from the risks associated with ionizing radiation. Decree No. 2026-260, published in the French Official Journal (Journal Officiel) on April 10, 2026, strengthens employer obligations by establishing individual dosimetric monitoring as the new regulatory standard. What this means for employers? Under this new French […]

Derived from Ceramide, Sphingolipids are major constituents of the cellular lipid bilayer. They reflect biological activity and the functional state of cells, and are involved in essential mechanisms such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. As a central intermediate in their biosynthesis, ceramide plays a key role in regulating this complex lipid signaling pathway. Understanding the […]

On January 21, CNES in Toulouse hosted the closing meeting of the CO-OP project, a major program launched in 2021 as part of France Relance. Over five years, this consortium brought together key French and European players in optical communications, CNES, Airbus, Safran, Bertin Technologies, Thales Alenia Space, as well as several research laboratories, to […]
