CONT

L'armature des cellules maintient leur forme et assure leurs déplacements. Ce cytosquelette est constitué de diverses protéines. L'équipe de Denise Paulin, à l'Institut Pasteur, a montré que l'une de ces protéines, la desmine, assure la cohésion et la résistance du tissu musculaire. Aujourd'hui, on découvre que diverses maladies qui touchent le tissu musculaire, et dont on ignorait la cause, résulteraient de mutations du gène codant la desmine.
