Patents for Invention on Bee Canals for In Vitro Toxicology

The ion channels of bee in ovo

In collaboration with two research groups in Montpellier and Québec, the Bees & Environnement unit contributed to the in ovo expression of ion channels targeted by the main neurotoxic insecticides. Conducted in parallel with an in situ exploration (in neurons) and more classical toxicological approaches, this innovation gives perspectives in neurophysiology and opens a new way on the study of the harmfulness of insecticides for bees.
