Aerosol-Cloud Interactions: the role of organic compounds on cloud droplet activation – ORACLE
Cloud droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere form on ubiquitous aerosol particles. Predictions of cloud droplet size and number concentration derived from aerosol properties are still poor, leading to large uncertainties in the radiation budget and climate projections. Cloud droplet formation on cloud c
Role of Piezo1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension – HTAP
Our specific aims are: 1) to establish a functional link between Piezo1 and the mechanosensitive ion channels in PA SMCs; 2) to identify the role of Piezo1 in acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and PA remodeling associated with chronic hypoxia; 3) to explore the signaling pathways downstream o
Cracking the role of RFRP3 in seasonal breeding with genome editing. – GMO-Phen
The role of the Npvf gene and its peptide RFRP3 in the seasonality of reproductive function remains unclear. Our current knowledge seems to indicate that, in the brain, this gene is part of a network responsible for the decoding of photoperiodic information and the seasonal control of reproductive f
Rey’s Ornament Image investigation – ROIi
The ROIi project consists of designing a database of ornaments used by the bookseller Marc Michel Rey (1720-1780) associated with the development of a tool intended for the authentication of ornaments submitted by a user and potentially enriching the database. This authentication aid, a functionalit
Simulations and Observations of Uranus and Neptune atmospheric Dynamics – SOUND
We aim to better understand the atmospheric dynamics of the two so-called ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune. We are particularly interested in understanding the small-scale convective and stormy processes, the large-scale circulation, the transport of species, the role of wave activity, possible
Gymnasia and Athletic Culture in Western and Southern Asia Minor in the Hellenistic and Roman period – GymnAsia
The Hellenistic and imperial eras, when contests flourished, are characterised by the importance of the gymnasium as a central institution of cities and as an emblematic building of cities. In the course of more than six centuries of history, it has also undergone numerous transformations and change
Is the gut microbiota a key driver of social evolution in insects? – MicroSoc
Understanding how and why social life emerged from solitary ancestors remains one of the greatest challenges in evolutionary biology. Classical theories—kin selection, multilevel selection, and reciprocity—explain the evolution of sociality through the benefits it provides to individuals or their ge
Infrastructure digitale pour la recherche en science humaine et sociale pour le cancer
L’objectif de WeShare est de doter la recherche en Qualité De Vie (QDV) et Sciences Humaines et Sociales (SHS) en oncologie 1) d’outils technologiques permettant de mener des études et de créer un entrepôt de données standardisées et 2) de liens communautaires (patients/citoyens-chercheurs) permetta
COVID-19 and Social Cohesion – COSOCO
Social cohesion is essential to the resilience of societies in the face of disasters (Motreff et al., 2018, Ungar et al., 2011). In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is a necessary condition both for compliance to health recommendations during the crisis, and for society resilience in the aft
Pronostic value of type I ANTi-Interferon antibodies in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory failure: a multicenter observational study – ANTICOV
We conducted a prospective multicentre study including 11 intensive care units (ICU). Patients hospitalized in ICU with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection and acute respiratory failure requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilation support were included. Our objectives were to compare the mortality of patients
