Assessing the Potential for Physiological Harm of Persuasive Interaction Design in Virtual Reality – HARMFULVR
Interaction in Virtual Reality is mainly conducted through embodied actions in 3D space (e.g., walking, pointing). Literature in the field of Human-Computer Interaction established the concept of pers
Molecular and morphogenetic control of feather pattern formation – PLUME
Animals exhibit an exquisite diversity of adaptive patterns. What mechanisms produce pattern variation while ensuring species-specific fidelity? We propose to study candidate pattern-forming processes
Clathrin plaques: Structure, function and implication in neuromuscular diseases – CLASS
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the best characterized process for the entry of proteins and lipids at the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. It is also the Achilles’ heel for human diseases such a
Maternal control of phenotypic evolution – CAVEMOM
CAVEMOM is a 535.620€ basic research collaborative project involving 2 French partners and a Swiss partner over 4 years. Evolutionary developmental biology seeks to unravel the ontogenetic variati
Understanding the ion flux network in Arabidopsis guard cells to control gas exchanges – NetFlux
In eukaryotes, intracellular processes such as signaling rely on a network of ion flux between the different intracellular compartments. Although crucial, ion flux coordination between membranes in se
The physics of the first mammalian epithelium – TroPhy
The physical properties of epithelia are key to the shape of most organs. With its powerful genetics and easy manipulation, the preimplantation mouse embryo is an ideal system to characterize the phys
Microtubule Stabilization in Quiescence – MISTIQ
Cells perpetually face the decision to proliferate or to enter a non-dividing state. Quiescence, operationally defined as a temporary proliferation arrest, is the most widespread cellular state on ear
Origin of evolutionary innovations – Geisha
Synopsis: Evolutionary innovations are qualitatively new and beneficial phenotypes that allow the bearing lineages to access previously unexploited ecological opportunities (Liem, 1973; Losos, 2009; W
Single Molecule Analyses of homologous Recombination Tracts – SMART
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur accidentally or are self-inflicted, such as during meiosis, where they produce chiasmata, ensuring accurate homolog segregation. DSB are a threat to genome integr
Pairing and pairing release of bacterial sister chromatids – SISTERS
Chromosome segregation is a fundamental yet poorly understood cell cycle process allowing cells to transmit genetic material to their progeny. In all organisms it is tightly regulated and highly accur
