Russians and Kurds in the Middle East (late 19th-21st centuries): The Tribal Factor in Imperial Strategies – Ruskurd
A transborder minority group, the Kurds currently constitute a significant share of the population of Turkey, Iran and several states of the contemporary Arab world, but have also been present, since their emigration to the Tsarist Empire in 19th century, in several regions of the post-Soviet region
Ruling on Nature. Animals and the Environment before the Court – RULNAT
The animal and nature protection debate has intensified across the world, and animal welfare and ecological issues are repeatedly brought before courts. These issues are now considered a complex and delicate matter involving animals’ or nature’s own interests, particularly (with regards to animals)
Rremote sensing and in situ networked sensors for monitoring and early warning of industrial particle plumes. – NETPLUME
The issues linked to the sustainable development of territories can be traced in the air. They concern climate, air quality, and exposure risks. Few observations, however, reflect these issues. The obstacles are mainly technological and logistical: it is necessary to be able to cover a territory wit
Roles of cell adhesion and mechanics in cell and tissue polarization – POLCAM
In this project we thus focused on the influence of the interplay between adhesion and the active cytoskeleton on the acquisition of polarization during collective cell migration. This has been developed and challenged both experimentally and theoretically. In line with current understanding of acti
Roles of Agroforestry in sustainable intensification of small farMs and food Security for Societies in West Africa – RAMSES II
Currently, in West African parklands, tree density depends on balancing crop yield decline due to competition for light, water and nutrients with the multipurpose products and other services provided by trees. Furthermore, this density varies according to the social,
Role of the amygdala-prefrontal network in the emergence of anxiety across childhood and adolescence: Impact of early life adversity in a nonhuman primate model – Anxiomonk
Adverse early experiences are among the strongest risk factors for psychiatric disorders, yet the mechanisms by which they shape brain and socio-emotional development remain poorly understood. While rodent studies highlight the role of maternal separation on limbic plasticity, translation to humans
Role of the SAGA co-activator complex in transcription during cell differentiation in mammals – SAGA-Retina
To regulate gene expression, activators bind specific DNA sequences at gene regulatory elements where they recruit coactivator complexes which open the chromatin structure at promoters to facilitate the assembly of the preinitiation complex, composed of general transcription factors and RNAPII. SAGA
Role of the MICU1-MCU interaction in the Mitochondrial Ca2+ Regulation during ischemia-reperfusion injury – MitoCaRe
The Ca2+-sensing regulator MICU1 interacts directly with MCU, the pore forming protein of the uniporter, to control Ca2+ flux and in fine cell survival. Based on this evidence, we postulate that a loss of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake regulation by MICU1 would be the key trigger of mitochondrial Ca2+ o
Role of potassium transport in rice in securing high crop yields – RiceKTrans
Cereals in general, and rice in particular, are the main source of nutrition for a growing world population. These field crop species are largely grown intensively, in fields where soil nutrients must be constantly replenished by fertilization. Because of the high demand for natural resources, a mor
Role of intracellular trafficking in the control of Immunoglobulin Receptor-mediated diseases – IDEA
The mechanisms by which IRAP controls FcR activation and how these impacts diseases are unknown and will be investigated by the 4 working packages of the IDEA project: WP1. Understand the molecular mechanisms by which IRAP facilitates FcgR activation : This WP will include cellular biology method
