Unraveling the link between epigenetics and insect symbiosis – Unleash
Weevils are common crop pests that thrive on nutritionally poor diets, and rely on intracellular symbiotic bacteria (endosymbionts) that supply them with nutrients lacking in their habitats. While man
Unraveling the Functions of the CTL2 in Thrombosis – CLINT
Venous thrombosis (VT) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death in industrialized countries. Using a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach we have recently identified SLC44A2 as a ne
Unraveling complex nucleation pathways in natural and engineered cements – NUANCE
Carbonate biominerals and engineered cements such as Portland cement are formed via the initial precipitation of disordered solids, herein called precursors. These precursors are highly hydrated and plastic, allowing the molding of intricate shapes once the cement hardens. This project addressed the factors controlling the crystallization of these precursors for both natural and engineered cements.
Universality for random nodal domains – UNIRANDOM
Nodal sets, i.e. vanishing loci of functions, are central objects in mathematics. Understanding the main features of a purely deterministic nodal set is generally out of reach, as illustrated by sever
Unifying the understanding of gas giants' atmospheres – EMERGIANT
EMERGIANT is a research project about Jupiter and Saturn, which lies at the interface between astrophysics and atmospheric science. EMERGIANT is fundamental research, driven by the incentive to learn
Understanding, modeling and evaluating social touch in human-machine interaction – SocialTouch
This project is at the crossroad of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) and Emotional Design. It investigates how the sense of touch can be integrated in interactive systems to leverage communicative and
Understanding variation in biological rhythms in tomato – RITMO
Circadian rhythms are a fundamental feature of living organisms and are maintained by a molecular oscillator called the circadian clock. In plants, this mechanism has been shown to control biotic and
Understanding the remodeling processes during atrial fibrillation stabilization for improved therapeutics – UNMASC
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained form of cardiac rhythm disturbance occurring in 1 to 2 % of the global population. In 90% of paroxysmal cases, it is ignited by ectopic foci locat
Understanding the mechanism of Yellow Fever 17D vaccine efficacy: An immuno-structural approach towards the design of a Pan-flavivirus vaccine – FLAVIMMUNITY
Yellow fever virus re-emergence in Africa in a globalized economy presents a significant risk of spillover to unaffected areas in Asia. Despite the availability of the YF17D vaccine, its low supply an
Understanding the influence of human and organizational factors on surgeon performance to enhance patient outcomes: experimentalevaluation of a customized coaching program – TOPSURGEONS
Background: Individual performance of surgeon is a core element of successful surgery that can vary greatly over career for poorly understood reasons. Solutions to optimize physical and mental conditi
