ARC funding for a research on small regulatory peptides

The LRSV (UMR 5546 UPS / CNRS) "Peptides and small ARNs" team, previously supported by diverse TULIP fundings (New Frontiers and Innovation projects) for its research on the plants which led to the discovery of the concept of regulatory micropeptides, now applicable to animal cells, was awarded 432k€ by the ARC Foundation through a "Labeled Programs" grant for their PEPCYCLE project.

The ARC Foundation supports large-scale projects led by a research team or a consortium, based on solid foundations and aiming at a better understanding and management of cancer diseases.

PEPCYCLE "Peptide functions during cell cycle regulation"

The LRSV (a TULIP unit) team proposes to search for the peptides interfering with the cell cycle in animals (Drosophila melanogaster) and also in human cancer cells. Their goal is to identify new cell cycle regulation mechanisms involving peptides that - by their small size - can diffuse and are promising agents. With the hope to find new molecules with therapeutic potential
