Abstract
The interest of the research community in the superconducting electron-doped cuprates Re2-xCexCuO4 Re = Nd, Pr, Sm) was revived recently by the increasing evidences of an elaborate phase diagram for the hole-doped cuprates (unconventional pairing symmetry, pseudogap, anomalous normal state, non--metal to metal crossover, etc...) : are we going to observe the same phenomena with the electron-doped cuprates? In this talk, we review the actual status of research in this class of materials, and then show some of our latest results on the electrical transport in thin films of PrCeCuO
