Phosphorylation and proteasome recognition of the mRNA- binding protein Cth2 facilitates yeast adaptation to iron deficiency
2018
Iron is an indispensable micronutrient for all eukaryotic organisms due to its participation as a redox cofactor in many metabolic pathways. Iron imbalance leads to the most frequent human nutritional deficiency in the world. Adaptation to iron limitation requires a global reorganization of the cellular metabolism directed to prioritize iron utilization for essential processes. In response to iron scarcity, the conserved Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNA-binding protein Cth2, which belongs to the tristetraprolin family of tandem zinc finger proteins, coordinates a global remodeling of the cellular metabolism by promoting the degradation of multiple mRNAs encoding highly iron-consuming proteins.…
Méthodes d’identification et de quantification des moisissures de l’habitat : méthodes classiques, méthodes moléculaires
2017
Resume Introduction Pour apprehender les repercussions de l’inhalation constante et inevitable de spores de moisissures il est necessaire de les prelever, les identifier et les quantifier. Etat des lieux Les prelevements sont de trois types : (i) surfaces, de realisation facile mais non quantifiables, (ii) air, faciles a calibrer mais limites dans le temps, et (iii) poussieres, plus representatifs dans le temps d’une exposition aux moisissures. La strategie d’echantillonnage depend des objectifs (exposition des personnes, objectiver la contamination, efficacite de la remediation). L’identification des colonies obtenues en culture est realisee par microscopie, Maldi-TOF, et/ou par sequencage…
Quality of Life in NSCLC Survivors - A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
2019
The objective was to assess quality of life (QoL) in lung cancer survivors, compare it to the general population, and identify factors associated with global QoL, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, pain, and dyspnea.Data from NSCLC patients who had survived 1 year or longer after diagnosis were collected cross-sectionally in a multicenter study. QoL was assessed with the European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and the lung cancer module QLQ-LC13 across different clinical subgroups and compared to age- and sex-standardized general population reference values. Multivariable linear regression analyses wer…
Lipid lowering nutraceuticals in clinical practice: position paper from an International Lipid Expert Panel.
2017
1.1. Cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia: prevalence and global economic impact Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, reaching 31% of deaths in 2012 [1]. In particular, atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are the main causes of premature death in Europe and are responsible for 42% of deaths in women and 38% in men under 75 years old [2]. The global economic impact of CVD is estimated to have been US $906 billion in 2015 and is expected to rise by 22% by 2030 [3]. Cardiovascular diseases also represent the major cause of disability in developed countries. It has been estimated that their growing burden could lead to a global increase in…
Biopiracy of natural products and good bioprospecting practice
2016
Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T16:27:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-02-15 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Background: Biopiracy mainly focuses on the use of biological resources and/or knowledge of indigenous tribes or communities without allowing them to share the revenues generated out of economic exploitation or other non-monetary incentives associated with the resource/knowledge. Methods: Based on collaborations of scientists from five continents, we have created a communication platform to discuss not only scientific topics, but also more general issues with social relevance. This platform was termed 'PhytCancer -Phytotherapy to Fight Cancer' (www.phy…

Ancient pigs reveal a near-complete genomic turnover following their introduction to Europe
2019
International audience; Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in the Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that pigs arrived in Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 y BP. A few thousand years after the introduction of Near Eastern pigs into Europe, however, their characteristic mtDNA signature disappeared and was replaced by haplotypes associated with European wild boars. This turnover could be accounted for by substantial gene flow from local Euro-pean wild boars, although it is also possible that European wild boars were domesticated independently without any genetic contribution from the Near East. To test these hyp…
Validación del cribado nutricional Malnutrition Screening Tool comparado con la valoración nutricional completa y otros cribados en distintos ámbitos…
2018
Resumen Introducción: los cribados son empleados para detectar el riesgo nutricional y permiten intervenir precozmente e influir en el pronóstico. La herramienta Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) está validada en paciente hospitalizado y oncológico ambulatorio. Objetivo: analizar por ámbitos sociosanitarios y grupos etarios los cribados MST, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) y Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-sf) respecto a la valoración nutricional completa (VNC) como patrón de referencia, y evaluar la utilidad del MST en aquellos ámbitos donde no está validado. Material y métodos: se han incluido 815 sujetos ambulatorios, hospitalizados e institucionalizados. Se les …
Assessment of genetically modified maize 1507 × NK603 for renewal of authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (application EFSA‐GMO‐RX‐008)
2018
International audience; Following the submission of application EFSA-GMO-RX-008 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. and Dow AgroSciences LLC, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment on the data submitted in the context of the renewal of authorisation application for the insect-resistant, herbicide-tolerant genetically modified maize 1507 x NK603, for food and feed uses, import and processing, excluding cultivation within the EU. The data received in the context of this renewal application contained a systematic search and evaluation of literature, updated bioin…
