A l’occasion du 35ème anniversaire de l’Association Française d’Histotechnologie, cet éditorial fait un retour dans le temps en revenant sur des faits marquants de 1987, soulignant notamment les avancées majeures en biologie moléculaire qui ont été intégrées aux méthodes d’études histologiques. Nous proposons aussi de faire un tour dans la Galerie ...

Bone tissue can be involved by primitive or metastatic tumors and requires a specific processing both at the department of pathology and during multidisciplinary meetings. The development of fine-needle percutaneous biopsies and of molecular techniques in bone tumor pathology requires a specific management. Moreover, decalcification of samples is c...
Gliomas are the most frequent primary brain tumour. The proximity of organs at risk, the infiltrating nature, and the radioresistance of gliomas have to be taken into account in the choice of prescribed dose and technique of radiotherapy. The management of glioma patients is based on clinical factors (age, KPS) and tumour characteristics (histology...
Grandes oubliées de la recherche, les femmes de la préhistoire ont aussi fait les frais de nombreuses approximations et préjugés dans les études qui les abordent. Pour traiter du sujet avec méthode et prudence, ce numéro des Dossiers d’Archéologie rassemble les approches de disciplines variées pour esquisser, dans sa diversité et sans caricature, u...
With more than 1400 chiropteran species identified to date, bats comprise one-fifth of all mammalian species worldwide. Many studies have associated viral zoonoses with 45 different species of bats in the EU, which cluster within 5 families of bats. For example, the Serotine bats are infected by European Bat 1 Lyssavirus throughout Europe while Myo...
Le riz constitue l’aliment de base de plus de la moitié de la population mondiale et sa consommation est en forte augmentation en Afrique de l’Ouest. De multiples contraintes affectent sa production, limitant ainsi les rendements rizicoles mondiaux, particulièrement au Burkina Faso où la production rizicole couvre à peine 47% des besoins des popula...

Medulloblastomas, embryonal neuroepithelial tumors developed in the cerebellum or brain stem, are mainly observed in childhood. The treatment of WHO-Grade IV tumors depends on stratifications that are usually based on postoperative data, histopathological subtype, tumor extension and presence of MYC or NMYC amplifications. Recently, molecular biolo...
The study of wildlife-livestock interfaces has long suffered from the sealing among the different agricultural—including veterinary—and environmental sectors and the lack of multidisciplinary approaches. Following the SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and H5N1 crisis, bridges have been developed between sectors and different disciplines, especially between t...
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are small non-enveloped icosahedral viruses with double-stranded circular DNA. More than 200 different human papillomaviruses have been identified so far. The classification of the papillomaviridae family is based on pairwise nucleotide sequence identity across the L1 ORF, as it is well conserved and can allowa genome-b...

Endometrial cancer is a common cancer in older women and is often associated with comorbidities. Management of metastatic disease and/or relapse requires a multidisciplinary approach. Recent advances in the understanding of oncogenesis and molecular classification of endometrial cancers offer new therapeutic perspectives. These first recommendation...
