ImportanCe of inflammasOmes in eMerging Environmental Toxin-driven patHologies – COMETH-
The profound changes that global warming is bringing about in the environment include not only the emergence of pathogens, but also various environmental threats, such as marine toxins, which implies the need to determine to what extend our organisms, can adapt to these changes. Specifically, the al
Trait-driven molecular clocks (TraM): dating the long-term evolution of re-emerging bacterial pathogens – TraM
The evolution of microbial pathogens is inextricably linked to that of their hosts. Key expamples are Leprosy and the Plage, human diseases caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Yersinia pestis. The discovery of ancient DNA in these bacteria has revealed complex evolutionary histories, wit
From antagonism to mutualism: inferring the origins and consequences of the multiple emergence of brood-site pollination on weevil super-diversification – POLLIDIV
Weevils are the most diverse phytophagous insects on Earth, and a typical example of evolutionary radiation (~62,000 described species). While they are commonly seen as detrimental herbivores, recent works have demonstrated their unexpected and unique ability to engage in new brood-site pollination
NSF-ANR MCB/PHY: The emergence of long-range coherence in motile microorganismal systems with quenched disorder – MotDis
Overview Self-propelled motion leading to large-scale collective behavior occurs in living and synthetic systems across scales. Controlling emergent collective behavior of cells and bacteria is a key step towards the design of living and biomimetic materials, including innovative biomedical technol
Driving emergent gauge fields in non-linear optical resonators – Ngauge
Nonlinear optics is a mature field harboring a plethora of discoveries alongside technological applications. Due to the abundance of modes in optics devices, much of the discoveries are spearheaded by experimental exploration of the exotic responses that arise under different driving schemes. In gen
A Transdisciplinary Approach to Emerging Territorial Risks: Redefining Crisis Management in a Global Warming Context – ATEsT
The recurrence and violence of emerging risks in a given area, combined with global warming, are prompting the actors of civil protection to work on both the "breakthrough in risk management" and the need to adapt their practices to deal with them. In response to this societal challenge, the ATEsT p
ppGpp-mediated Genome orchestration during emergence of seedlings from soil – GODESS
When Arabidopsis seedlings germinate in darkness beneath the soil, they undergo skotomorphogenesis. This highly specialized developmental process is essential to facilitate the emergence of the young plantlet from the earth. As soon as the seedling emerges into the light, a drastic developmental shi
Emergence dans les modèles de calcul – EMC
Computational models are inherently linked to the concept of complex systems: in many complex systems the computational aspects play a crucial role in terms of predictability/unpredictability and also in the analysis of chaos appearance. Conversely, complex behaviours are observed in computational m
