Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying mental fatigue induced by prolonged use of smartphone – MENTALIST
Mental fatigue results from the prolonged engagement in demanding cognitive activities and is a significant public health problem in our modern society. Mental fatigue decreases cognitive and physical
Characterization of role of Viable But Non Culturable and persisters cells in the resistance of Cryptococcus neoformans to antifungal drugs – CRYPERS
Viable but non culturable cells (VBNC) are cells that are no longer able to grow but able to resuscitate upon specific stimuli. Upon VBNC induction, a minority subpopulation of yeasts (
Replicability of adaptive divergence at broad taxonomic scales: What can butterflies teach us about frogs? – RANAPOSA
If distantly related species are exposed to the same selective pressures, do they evolve similar adaptive solutions? Why are some species better than others at exploiting ecological opportunities? The
QUantum free Electrons for NaNOopTics – QUENOT
The ambition of QUENOT is to overcome several current conceptual and experimental limits in nanooptics using the quantum properties of fast electrons. Indeed, certain key concepts and quantities in na
Oxygenated fuels impact on spark ignition engine emissions – OFELIE
In 2025, hybridized light duty vehicles will still largely operate with direct injection (DI) spark ignition (SI) engines. Although DI reduces SI CO2 emissions, it leads to large soot particle emissio
Glasses to ear differently – GLAD
Our project aims at better understanding the link between visuo-motor plasticity (by using a short exposure to glasses shifting the visual field) and auditory perception to propose an innovative thera
Metabolic underpinnings of age-dependent cognitive and neural circuit decline in Drosophila – MetabolicBrainAging
Decline in brain function, and the accompanying loss in cognitive abilities, is one of the most incapacitating consequences of aging. Although it is becoming clear that not all neural circuits nor bra
Living in between: Strategies of adaptation and horizons of expectations in Ukraine and Moldova – LimSpaces
The project offers a new interpretation of the societies of Ukraine and Moldova which seem to have settled into a lasting state of political and social instability at the very doors of the European Un
CHApiTRE : CHAracterization of piRNA cluster expression throughout development and their capacity to tame a sudden TRansposable Element activity – CHApiTRE
Eukaryotic genomes are mainly composed of repeated sequences including transposable elements (TEs), highly mutagenic mobile DNA sequences which constitute a serious threat for the genome integrity. Th
Defining the regulatory signals influencing the pacemaker cell fate – REPACE
The sinoatrial node (SAN) is composed of specialized cells able to generate a spontaneous electric activity allowing cardiac contraction. Congenital or acquired SAN dysfunction results in bradycardia
