Molecular mechanism of a new cardiac syndrome associated with an enhancer deletion – LEARN
Despite a strong linkage pointing to the 4q25 region, exome sequencing failed to identify causal variant. By WGS we uncovered a deletion of 15kb in a gene desert area on 4q25, segregating in all affected relatives of Family#1. The 6 other families present overlapping deletions. Mouse model recapitul
Origins of the specialization for reading in the occipitotemporal cortex – TOPLEX
Reading and writing constitute a major invention on which most modern culture is predicated. Understanding how the visual system adapts to the novel, culture-dependent task of identifying written words represents a formidable case study of brain plasticity, at the convergence of psychology, neurosci
Liquid-phase 3D electron microscopy for materials science and biology – Liquid3DSTEM
Electron microscopy has traditionally been associated with the study of thin solid samples in vacuum. In the last decade, a few groups pioneered systems achieving nanometer resolution for liquid specimens. The broad applicability of liquid phase electron microscopy has driven a wave of interest as i
Longitudinal monitoring of Attitudes towards a VAccine against COVID-19. – SLAVACO
The development of vaccines against COVID-19 and their global access are a priority to control and hopefully end the current worldwide pandemic [1]. However, the success of this strategy strongly relies on people’s trust in this immunization: What if people refuse the shot? This is not a rhetoric
How does Cell-to-Cell Communication regulate Fruit Growth ? – 3C-FruitGrowth
The FW2.2 gene is a major gene that governs fruit size in tomato, but whose cellular and molecular mechanisms of action remain unknown. Since the FW2.2 protein is localized at the PD level, we formulate the original hypothesis according to which FW2.2 would be involved in the regulation of the cell-
The Promises of Soil Carbon Sequestration: Innovations, Organisations, Knowledge – POSCA
Long viewed mostly in terms of agricultural fertility, soil is now increasingly viewed as a global stock of underground carbon that we need to measure, map, model, control and optimize. As soil is recast in terms of its place in the global carbon cycle, soils sciences are shifting from an obscure,
Micro-SENSors based on metal oxide sensitive layers and Metal Organic Frameworks for AIR quality monitoring at low cost - 2020 – SensMOFAir-2020
The SensMOFAir-2020 project aims to improve real-time, high-resolution spatiotemporal air pollution monitoring using a low-cost sensor network. The goal is to develop new generations of metal oxide (MOS) gas sensors offering high detection performance, low power consumption, and limited maintenance,
Wireless mmW communications for Railway – mmW4Rail
Spectrum scarcity is a constraint for railways. Very narrow bands are allocated in the 900 and 1900 MHz bands. This motivates the exploration of mm bands. The mmW4Rail project focuses on three research topics in the millimetre band: characterisation and modelling of radio channels for dynamic railwa
Optimiser l'entraînement mental pour atteindre l'or olympique, approche psycho-physiologique innovantes de la performance en escrime
Dans la perspective des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024, le projet TrainYourBrain vise à répondre aux questions fondamentales et appliquées liées à l’optimisation de la performance en escrime. Porté par Nantes Université en collaboration avec la Fédération Française d'Escrime (FFE), les universités de
Contribution Française à l’instrumentation de l’Extremely Large Telescope
L'Observatoire Européen Austral (ESO) est en train de construire le plus grand télescope jamais imaginé pour l'observation astronomique dans l'optique et l'infrarouge, l'Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) de 39 mètres de diamètre. L'EquipEx+ F_CELT soutient la contribution française aux instruments qui
