Predictive Modeling of Plant Gene Expression via AI Analysis of Phase Separation and Chromatin Structure – PlantSCAPE
Meeting the nutritional needs of a global population that is expected to increase by 2.4 billion people over the next thirty years represents a major challenge for agriculture. This growth will require a significant increase in agricultural productivity, while taking into account the growing impacts
CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR BREAKTHROUGHS IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE FOR NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES – FAHAM
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a major health challenge in Europe, accounting for 91% of deaths. La Réunion is particularly affected with a notably high incidence of NCDs such as diabetes and lower 5-year survival rates for cancer. Many cancer patients are diagnosed at advanced stages,
From Exotic grain shapes to smart metagranular structures: the road to Geometric Cohesion origins – Exo2GeCo
In classical constructions, building granular structure is only possible when the grains are cemented together (as concrete where gravel is made cohesive from cement paste). Adhesive forces transform the forces network into a self-stressed network of tensile/compressive forces. These adhesive forces
Bionics of active filamentous structures – DynaSnap
The climbing plants like vine (but also cucumber, squash, watermelon, peas...) have rod-like supple organs called tendrils which, adopting helical conformation, allow the plant to fix to support. Our preliminary results within IDEX Emergence UPC « Dynavine » show that singular snapping-like events c
– CycloBeta-NPY
In humans, the biological effects of the hormone Neuropeptide Y (NPY) family are mediated by four receptor subtypes. Selective ligands for these receptors are of considerable interest, e.g. Y1 ligands are potential anti-cancer drug carriers while Y4 ligands may help control obesity. In this project
– CF3-PEPTAIBOLS
The overuse of antibiotics in recent decades, especially in developed countries, has accentuated the multi-resistance phenomenon complicating the treatment of infectious diseases. The emergence of multi-resistant bacterial strains is stimulating the development of new therapeutic approaches. In this
– MolNanoMat
Organic solar cells face a have to overcome a fundamental hurdle: the generation of free electrons and holes from strongly bound excitons. This charge separation is possible only at the interface of two materials with different electron affinities, between a donor D and an acceptor A. Within this co
Microbial CO2 exchanges in peatlands: contribution to the peatland carbon pool and response to climate change – MICE
Soil microorganisms are globally seen as a source of carbon (C) because of their central role in releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Certain bacteria and protists can consume atmospheric CO2 using diverse metabolic pathways, but they are presumed either to be rare co
Grandes déformations d’interfaces/Large interface deformation – DEFORMATION
This project aims at understanding (for prediction, model and control purposes) the fundamental physical mechanisms driving large interface deformation in situations of broad interest. Large interface deformations are observed in a wide variety of fundamental physical problems (drop impact, granular
la méthylation des protéines dans les voies de réponse aux dommages à l'ADN – Methyl-DDR
Studies on protein methylation have been essentially focused on histone proteins. Thus, histones and particularly their N-terminal tails are modulated by a large number of lysine and ariginine methylation. Lysine methylation is recognized as an important indexing system demarcating transcriptionally
