EVolution of CO-infecting PAthogens in Rice – EVCOPAR
The proposed project will investigate if co-infection contribute to drive evolutionary trajectory of pathogen populations and impact epidemiological outcome. We focused on two pathogens threatening rice in West Africa as previous investigations documented the co-circulation of the rice yellow mottle
MucosAl pelliCle flAvouR interactiOn & perceptioN – MACARON
Building on the interdisciplinary background of the consortium, we will implement innovative research approaches coupling in vitro and in vivo approaches to reveal for the very first time the role of the transmembrane mucin, MUC1, on the formation of the mucosal pellicle and its effect on flavour pe
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
The actin/spectrin scaffold shapes axonal physiology – ASHA
Axons require a stable yet plastic cytoskeleton to maintain their unique architecture over decades. While microtubules and intermediate filaments have been extensively studied, the precise organization of axonal actin remained elusive until the advent of super-resolution microscopy. This technology
HYPERthermophiles and their BIOMINeralization mechanism – HYPERBIOMIN
The HYPERBIOMIN project follows on from recent studies (Gorlas et al., 2015; Gorlas et al., 2018) and provides new insights into the relationships between metabolism, genetics, and high-temperature biomineralization. It has enabled the development of a realistic experimental model of hydrothermal ch
Atmospheric River Climatology in Antarctica – ARCA
Over much of Antarctica, the surface mass balance (SMB) is controlled by a few extreme events, resulting in high natural variability in this variable. In particular, it has recently been shown that extreme moisture intrusions related to atmospheric rivers (AR) from the Southern Ocean are major sourc
Could the RAGE-dependent effects of inhaled sevoflurane on lung epithelial permeability help identifying a treatable trait in acute respiratory distress syndrome? – RESPIRE
We designed the translational RESPIRE project to test the hypotheses that: 1) sevoflurane could be beneficial in ARDS by decreasing RAGE-mediated lung epithelial permeability (mechanistic in vitro, in vivo, in silico studies and analysis of human samples from patients enrolled in a multicenter clini
Mixed (Anti)Aromaticity, Unorthodox Interactions and Topologies – MixAr
Nature builds complex architectures using weak and reversible interactions, typically limited to classical types such as hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, and Van der Waals forces. Recently, non-orthodox interactions (like halogen/chalcogen bonding and p-anion interactions) have been discovered, e
REal-GAs effects on Loss mechanisms of ORC turbine flows – REGAL-ORC
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools currently used in ORC design, based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models, are affected by many notorious flaws and uncertainties, and large-eddy-simulation (LES) or direct-numerical-simulation (DNS) methods are a promising tool for improving our f
Analyse in situ de la performance
Le but du projet PerfAnalytics est d'apporter aux partenaires sportifs des résultats scientifiques et techniques qui valorisent les nombreuses ressources vidéo prises habituellement in-situ sur le terrain en entraînement et en compétition. Les vidéos seront analysées soit directement, soit en croise
