The interaction between macrophages and their environment affects their functioning
On March 27, 2025
Macrophages are immune system cells that ingest and degrade microorganisms and cellular debris in a process called phagocytosis. In a study published in iScience, scientists show that the mechanical properties of the tissues surrounding macrophages influence phagocytosis, which in turn affects the way macrophages interact with their environment.

Recording the absorption spectra of gaseous molecules with an optical cavity of high finesse
On February 20, 2025
To better understand the formation, composition and evolution of the atmospheres of terrestrial planets, scientists at LIPhy have developed spectrometers using optical cavity spectroscopy (CRDS). Their high sensitivity enables them to accurately record the absorption spectra of various molecules of atmospheric and planetary interest, such as dihydrogen, water or methane, mixed with carbon dioxide.
