Costs and benefits of inflammation in host-parasite relationships
2016
Host-parasite interactions are characterized by trade-offs that involve both plastic and microevolutionary responses. On one hand, while immunity is essential to fight parasites, it can also cause damage to the host, leading to autoimmunity and inflammatory diseases. On the other hand, parasites have to cope with the immune environnement provided by the host. This raises the question of the costs and benefits of the inflammatory response for the two partners of the interaction. With different experimental and literature-based approaches, I showed that immunopathology is a trait that likely persists because of the immediate benefits of the immune response in terms of protection against paras…
Microglial and BDNF impact on the induction of the post ischemic neuroplasticity
2011
Evidences showing that under certain circumstances, inflammatory response could be neuroprotective and could also promote adult neurogenesis are growing. In this context, the objective of this work was to investigate the impact of microglial cells in the neuroplastic events. Rats were subjected to photothrombotic ischemia and microglial cells activation was blocked by the mean of poly(ADP-ribose)polymérase-1 (PARP-1) inhibition using 3- aminobenzamide (3-AB) since this protein has been shown to play a major role in this activation. Our results show that PARP-1 activity reduction was associated with a strong repression of the acute microglial activation. Beside, 3-AB treated animals exhibite…
Antécédents et conséquences de l'intrusion publicitaire perçue sur internet : le cas des formes publicitaires
2013
This research explores the relations between the format of advertising and perceived intrusion and tries to understand the consequences on attitudinal responses and on behaviour intentions of the Internet user, in particular in terms of resistance. The advertising intrusion is envisaged as a negative perception which could be activated by formats. The first part of this work is to understand the impact of perceived advertising intrusion, the second part is to operationalize the concept and test the research model.The study of the consequences of the use of ad formats allows reporting their influence on the advertising intrusion but also on the attitude towards the format and towards the ad.…
Representations of individuals in discourses oflaïcitéfromLe Monde: confirming or challenging the republican framework of identity?
2016
ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the notions of laicite and identity have been subjects of controversy in France. The two concepts have become sufficiently co-associated since the 1990s to ensure each almost systematically entails the other. Findings from previous studies have pointed out harmful implications of this pervasive association for minorities in France, especially Muslims. This study examines further the ways laicite and identity are interwoven by exploring who is represented (and how) in newspaper articles from Le Monde dealing with laicite. Informed by critical intercultural communication scholarship, intersectionality, and a Foucaultian approach to discourse, this study pays particu…
Introduction : formes de l'iconicité
2014
International audience; L'emploi du terme "eikon" pour désigner une forme linguistique fonctionnant comme une image est aussi ancien que la tradition linguistico-grammaticale de l'Occident. Il figure en effet pour la première fois dans le Cratyle de Platon (439a), point de départ de cette tradition. Pour Platon, qui ne distingue pas encore entre signifiant et signifié, il est raisonnable d'affirmer que le nom, dans son ensemble, et jusqu'à ses éléments phonologiques, opère comme une image de la chose signifiée, ce qui constitue du reste une bonne raison pour s'en méfier et préférer la connaissance directe des choses à celle de leurs représentations. La reprise du terme "icon" dans la pensée…

Intéret, justice, la\"icité
1998
International audience; Aller au bout de l'idée de la\"icité suppose que l'on se déprenne d'une contre-dépendance à l'égard du modèle religieux pour penser un modèle \guillemotleft politique \guillemotright dans lequel l'école puisse trouver sa légitimité dans l'établissement d'une coopération sociale d'individus libres et égaux. L'excellence dans le modèle traditionnel français a pris la place de la sainteté dans la religion catholique et la question de la justice du système éducatif a été exclusivement ramenée à celle des inégalités sociales d'accès aux sommets du système scolaire. Dans le modèle \guillemotleft politique \guillemotright, selon une perspective empruntée à Rawls, la justice…
Enhanced proinflammatory response to the Candida albicans gpi7 null mutant by murine cells.
2008
International audience; The Candida albicans gpi7/gpi7 null mutant strain (Deltagpi7), which is affected in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, showed a reduced virulence following systemic infection of C57BL/6 mice. In vitro production of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta by macrophages in response to Deltagpi7 cells was significantly increased as compared to control (wild type GPI7/GPI7 and revertant gpi7/GPI7) cells; this probably contributes to the enhanced recruitment of neutrophils to the peritoneal cavity in response to Deltagpi7 cells. Survival of knockout mice for Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 following intravenous injection of Deltagpi7 cells showed no signifi…
