Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS, is the most common female reproductive disorder against which no therapeutic solution is available, beyond changes in the lifestyle. The inventors have now shown by using in vivo preclinical models, that individuals affected with PCOS have an abnormal elevated production of GnRH and that this elevated production of GnRH was transmitted to their offspring that also develop PCOS. Further, by examining AMH levels in a cohort of pregnant PCOS and control women, the inventors have found that AMH concentrations are significantly higher in PCOS women as compared to healthy women during the second trimester of gestation. These unexpected findings has allowed conceiving both prevention and treatment therapeutic strategies based on the administration of GnRH antagonists.

Abstract: Sarbecoviruses (lineage B of genus Betacoronavirus) have caused two major outbreaks during the past two decades: SARS-CoV in 2003, and SARS-CoV-2 from 2019. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will be essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. Therefore, universal vaccines against this class of viruses are key to ending the current pandemic, but also for preventing additional emergent variations and future outbreaks of SARS-like viruses that are continuously found from nature reservoirs. Now, the inventors produced an antibody that is directed against a surface antigen (i.e., CD40) of an antigen presenting cell (i.e., dendritic cell) wherein the heavy chain is conjugated or fused to a protein N polypeptide of SAR-CoV-2 and the light chain is fused to a RBD polypeptide. In particular, the inventors show that said antibody could elicit immune responses against Sarbecoviruses.

Abstract: The use of a transcriptomic signature based on HERVs expression to characterize new AML subtypes, and a method to determine to which AML subtype a patient pertains. The method includes providing relationship between the 9 AML sub-types and HERVs characterized by their specific herv_id and their relationship with one of these AML subtypes, determining from a patient cell sample HERVs expression profile, determining which of the 9 AML subtypes is the most represented based on HERV expression in the cell sample, and attributing to the patient the most represented AML subtype among the 9 AML subtypes. The method allows identifying patients with medium good or bad prognosis and treating the same with a cancer therapy against AML.
