Detecting transient strain along the Haiyuan fault, China
Continuous improvement of seismological and geodetic instruments is the key for unraveling the physics of earthquakes. Since the 2000’s, the maturity of dense geodetic networks and satellite observati
Puzzling out the role of plant and fungal laccases with auxiliary enzymes during polymerization and depolymerization of lignin in a polysaccharide environment
Lignin is a complex phenolic polymer embedded into the polysaccharide matrix of the plant cell wall. The lignin deposition makes the plant biomass highly recalcitrant to human utilization. Interesting
Deciphering the role of bovine neutrophil subsets in bovine tuberculosis
Neutrophils fully participate to adaptive immunity by cross talk with T cells. We discovered a new population of regulatory neutrophils circulating in cattle blood under normal conditions with suppres
Towards FLEXible and versatile Ferroelectricity in perovskite Oxides
Ferroelectric (FE) oxides are efficient functional ingredients for the development of tomorrow’s electronics, for instance in low-power memories and bio-inspired devices. Their ferro-, piezo- and flex
Insecticide Sensory Detection in Malaria Vectors
Insecticide-based vector control has been recognised as the principal contributor of the malaria-incidence reduction since 2000. Recently, this trend has worryingly stalled or even reversed in some co
Algorithm of Graft Outcome in Renal Allotransplantation
In renal transplantation, monitoring the risk of subclinical rejection (SCR) and graft failure remains challenging. AGORA partners developed and validated 1-year non-invasive biomarkers allowing the p
A premotor disease signature for ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most frequent motoneuron disease with a devastating prognosis. Even today, it takes on average 12 months from the onset of motor symptoms to establish the d
Risk factors and markers for early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease: focus on early-life adversity, inflammation and lipid mediators
Finding suitable and easily measurable early biomarkers for neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction represents the next frontier for prevention and early intervention strategies in diseases like
