About twenty years ago, the discovery of microbiota revealed that we are half made up of microorganisms. Today, we realise that even our human cells do not all share the same DNA. We all have, to a greater or lesser extent, cells from other people inside us. In some cases, these ‘foreign’ cells can make up all or part of one of our organs. For better or for worse. Intertwining scientific investigation with the stories of people whose lives have been turned upside down by this phenomenon, Les Cellules buissonnières recounts a revolution in progress. Lise Barnéoud takes us behind the scenes of science in the making, having spent more than a year investigating those who are currently breaking new ground in human biology. 

Lise Barnéoud is a freelance science journalist who regularly contributes to various newspapers (including Le Monde and Mediapart). Author of scientific books and documentaries, she has dedicated several years of research to the issue of vaccines. In 2008, she received the Varenne Foundation’s National Daily Press Science Prize and, in 2016, the Grand Prix des Trophées Signatures Santé.
