Overview

Marie-José Freund-Mercier is affiliated with the University of Strasbourg in France. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a focus on several subfields including Physiology, Molecular Biology, Psychiatry and Mental health, Social Psychology, and Genetics.

Their research addresses a range of topics, notably:

  • Pain Mechanisms and Treatments
  • Phosphodiesterase function and regulation
  • Sexual function and dysfunction studies
  • Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior
  • Human-Animal Interaction Studies
  • Infant Health and Development

Among recent publications, two papers are recorded. The first is titled "Antiallodynic action of phosphodiesterase inhibitors in a mouse model of peripheral nerve injury", published in 2021 in the journal Neuropharmacology. The second paper, published in 2022 in Biologie Aujourd hui, is titled "Comment, au fil du temps, l'ocytocine est devenue l'hormone de l'attachement".

Marie-José Freund-Mercier has collaborated with a number of co-authors, including:

  • Salim Megat
  • Sylvain Hugel
  • Sarah H. Journée
  • Yohann Bohren
  • Adrien Lacaud

Their work has been published primarily in the venues Neuropharmacology and Biologie Aujourd hui, each contributing to their overall body of research.
