Overview

Marie-France Cesbron-Delauw is affiliated with Grenoble Alpes University in France and has contributed to the fields of Immunology and Microbiology as well as Medicine through a range of research studies. Their work spans several subfields including Epidemiology, Parasitology, Biochemistry, Immunology, and Virology.

Their research focuses significantly on Toxoplasma gondii and related parasitological investigations. Central topics of their studies involve Toxoplasma gondii Research Studies, Autophagy in Disease and Therapy, Herpesvirus Infections and Treatments, Lipid metabolism and biosynthesis, interferon and immune responses, Cytomegalovirus and herpesvirus research, as well as HIV Research and Treatment.

Marie-France Cesbron-Delauw has authored multiple papers with a noted emphasis on lipid metabolism and host-parasite interactions. Notable recent publications include:

  • Toxoplasma LIPIN is essential in channeling host lipid fluxes through membrane biogenesis and lipid storage, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Rapid kinetics of lipid second messengers controlled by a cGMP signalling network coordinates apical complex functions in Toxoplasma tachyzoites, 2020, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Toxoplasma acyl-CoA synthetase TgACS3 is crucial to channel host fatty acids in lipid droplets and for parasite propagation, 2024, Journal of Lipid Research
  • The amino-terminal region of dense granule protein 6 of Toxoplasma gondii stimulates IFN-γ production by microglia, 2020, Microbes and Infection
  • A P5-ATPase, TgFLP12, diverging from plant chloroplast lipid transporters mediates apicoplast fatty export in Toxoplasma, 2025, Nature Communications

Frequent coauthors in their work include Cyrille Y. Botté, Serena Shunmugam, Christophe-Sébastien Arnold, Nicholas J. Katris, and Yoshiki Yamaryo-Botté. Collaborative efforts with these researchers have contributed to a substantial body of work focused on parasite biology and host interactions.

Their research has been published mainly in venues such as Nature Communications, Journal of Lipid Research, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Microbes and Infection.
