Emergence of Video Art in Europe (1960-1980): History, Theory, Sources and Archives – EMERGENCE1960-1980
To date, no Europe-wide history of video art exists. This research project seeks to address this gap and offer a counterweight to the decades-long America-centric slant of specialist literature in this area. The project seeks to assess not only the very rich and varied video production in Europe but
Harnessing field-assisted transport and rheology of a bacterial magnetofluid – BACMAG
The objective of this project is to study the fundamental principles governing the emergence of a new class of fluids laden with motile MagneTotactic Bacteria (MTB). MTB are remarkable systems as their movement and organization can be remotely controlled by external fields: primarily the magnetic fi
Development of quantitative arterial spin labeling perfusion MRI methods dedicated to brain and heart – QASAREM
Introduction The present demand is a resubmission of project RBF4MED submitted to the ANR within the 2007 'Blanc' call for proposals, in which it was placed on the complementary list, but ultimately not financed. Taking into account the entirely positive evaluation by the reviewers and the recommend
Reactivity of inorganic radicals in aqueous solution – REACTING
Inorganic anions are ubiquitous in the aquatic compartment and in biological media where the importance of radical processes is evidenced by numerous studies. However, only very few radical species have been extensively studied. Most of them are oxygenated species (hydroxyl radicals, peroxyl or alco
Forgetting at Short Term: Cognitive Mechanisms, Development and Computational Simulation – FORGETTING
The aim of our project is to understand forgetting in adults and children, more especially short-term forgetting. Memory is the central cognitive characteristic of human cognition. All of our complex cognitive activities, such as learning, reasoning, and planning, require both the integration and th
Retroviral-type LTRs as intermediate of the stress response in plants / LTRs de type rétroviral comme intermédiaires de la réponse au stress chez les plantes – LTR-STRESS
Upon insertion in or next to coding regions, Transposable Elements (TEs) can impact gene expression and function in various ways, from contributing to proteic sequences to changing gene regulatory patterns. TE-generated variations significantly expand the functional potentialities of host genomes, b
Bridging the gap between simplified biomimetic systems and cell free extracts to understand actin dynamics. – Golden Gate
Cell shape changes are involved in many cellular processes including cell morphogenesis, establishment of cell polarity and cell motility (Pollard and Borisy, 2003). Cells change shape by exerting internal forces based on dynamical assembly of cytoskeletal proteins. In our project, we will focus on
OPPOSING FUNCTIONS OF ROS AND SUMO TO CONTROL AP-1 TRANSCRIPTION COMPLEX ACTIVITY – ROSUAP
The AP-1 transcription complex is a collection of ubiquitously expressed dimeric transcription factors, principally made up of dimers of the Fos and Jun multigene families. It regulates many genes and, thereby, occupies a central physiological position. Its composition is dynamic and the various dim
Global scale analysis and prediction of human cellular behaviour in a complex environment – GLOBCELL
Establish the global gene expression profile (approximately 40,000 genes) of cells in the presence of multiple stimuli. Define dominance of each stimulus based on global analysis tools. Analyze the geometry and architecture of this complex data sets. Analyze the gene-by-gene interactions induced b
Coordination of gene expression from transcription to translation – COORDIGENE
The activation of the estrogen receptor (ER) and p53 signaling pathways alters different key cellular programs by modulating the expression of numerous genes. In breast cancer cell lines, while the activation of ER by estradiol favours cell proliferation, the activation of p53 by a genotoxic stress
