Social and environmental risk factors in the emergence of mosquito-borne diseases in urban areas – SERIOUS
Due to sanitary risks associated with the presence of the Asian tiger mosquito Ae. albopictus in recently invaded urban areas, better knowledge is needed to evaluate the social (behavior, practices) and environmental (human impact on the environment) factors as risk factors on the emergence of vecto
Deciphering the emerging functions of succinate dehydrogenase in controlling inflammation – SuccINNATE
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a key mitochondrial enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and the electron transport chain. Germline mutations in SDH subunit genes predispose to paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma (PPGL) by metabolic and epigenetics means. However, our recent published work identif
Solidarity economy, co-construction, emerging public action – ESCAPE
The initiatives that have come to be gathered under the name of solidarity economy provide new forms of organization and solutions to ecological and social problems. Most of them take the status of non-profit organzations and are characterized by the emphasis placed on the purpose of production and
A thermodynamics-compliant emergence of life driven by redox free energy and mediated by soft, transition-metal-bearing layered nano-structures – deltaG2Life
Life and its emergence fundamentally depend on the conversion of environmental free energy into cellular decrease of entropy – a stricture imposed by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. This biological free energy conversion (bioenergetics) is performed by an ensemble of metalloenzymes which carry out in
IMPacts of Emerging Contaminants towards phytoplankton in the presence of dissolved organic matter – IMPEC
New technologies involved in communications, energy or medicine have increased the use of elements such as those belonging to the platinum group, lanthanides, indium (In) and germanium (Ge). However, their fate and toxicity to aquatic ecosystems are still poorly understood compared to the base metal
Wastewater treatment plants: an active source of Emerging Contaminants into AtmospheRE? – WECARE
The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in the atmospheric environment is a growing and potential significant issue in environmental sciences. Environmental studies are mostly focused on the occurrence and fate of ECs in aqueous environments. In contrast, less attention is paid to the atmospheri
Emergence of Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease – EarlyAD
The overarching goal of this research proposal is the discovery of the seminal structural and functional neural defects that initiate neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By applying the most sensitive imaging methodologies currently available for in vivo studies in mouse models of ß-amylo
