Reconstitution of CD52-Negative CD4 T Cells after Alemtuzumab-Based T Cell Depleted Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
2008
Abstract The human CD52 molecule is the target of the monoclonal antibody Alemtuzumab, which is used for treating patients with chemo-refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia as well as for T cell depletion (TCD) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The molecule is expressed on the surface of lymphocytes, dendritic cells and to a lesser extent on blood-derived monocytes. Previously, investigators have demonstrated that the surface expression of CD52 on T cells is down-regulated after in vitro incubation with Alemtuzumab. By treating purified human CD4 T cells over 4 hours with 10 μg/mL Alemtuzumab in medium supplemented with 10% human AB serum in vitro…
Femtosecond pulse compression in a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber by tuning its cross section
2012
Abstract We present a numerical study of soliton pulse compression in a seven-cell hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber. We analyze the enhancement of both the compression factor and the pulse shape quality of 360 nJ femtosecond pulses at the wavelength of 800 nm by tuning the cross section size of the fiber. We use the generalized non-linear Schrodinger equation in order to modeled the propagation of light pulses along the fiber. Our numerical results show that output compressed pulses can be obtained, in a propagation length of 31 cm, with a compression factor of 5.7 and pulse shape quality of 77% for a reduction of 4.5% of the cross section size of the fiber. The predicted compression fact…

Redox regulation of genome stability by effects on gene expression, epigenetic pathways and DNA damage/repair
2015
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (e.g. H2O2, nitric oxide) confer redox regulation of essential cellular signaling pathways such as cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and apoptosis. In addition, classical regulation of gene expression or activity, including gene transcription to RNA followed by translation to the protein level, by transcription factors (e.g. NF-κB, HIF-1α) and mRNA binding proteins (e.g. GAPDH, HuR) is subject to redox regulation. This review will give an update of recent discoveries in this field, and specifically highlight the impact of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species on DNA repair systems that contribute to genomic stability. Emphasis will be placed …
Monitoring surface resonances on Co2MnSi(100) by spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy
2015
The magnitude of the spin polarization at the Fermi level of ferromagnetic materials at room temperature is a key property for spintronics. Investigating the Heusler compound Co$_2$MnSi a value of 93$\%$ for the spin polarization has been observed at room temperature, where the high spin polarization is related to a stable surface resonance in the majority band extending deep into the bulk. In particular, we identified in our spectroscopical analysis that this surface resonance is embedded in the bulk continuum with a strong coupling to the majority bulk states. The resonance behaves very bulk-like, as it extends over the first six atomic layers of the corresponding (001)-surface. Our study…
Decomposition Process of Carboxylate MOF HKUST-1 Unveiled at the Atomic Scale Level
2016
HKUST-1 is a metal-organic framework (MOF) which plays a significant role both in applicative and basic fields of research, thanks to its outstanding properties of adsorption and catalysis but also because it is a reference material for the study of many general properties of MOFs. Its metallic group comprises a pair of Cu2+ ions chelated by four carboxylate bridges, forming a structure known as paddle-wheel unit, which is the heart of the material. However, previous studies have well established that the paddle-wheel is incline to hydrolysis. In fact, the prolonged exposure of the material to moisture promotes the hydrolysis of Cu-O bonds in the paddle-wheels, so breaking the crystalline n…

DNA Methyltransferase1 post-transcriptional silencing induces aneuploidy and cell cycle arrest in human cells.
2009
The regulation of chromatin structure is a dynamic and complex process that is modulated by epigenetic mechanisms. Malfunctioning of these processes can cause gene expression alteration and could compromise important events such as chromosome condensation and segregation. Imbalance in cytosine methylation and deregulation of DNA-methyltransferases (DNMTs), and of DNMT1 in particular, is frequent in human cancers. To investigate DNMT1 implication in the generation of aneuploidy we evaluated the effects of its depletion by RNA-interference both in primary human cells (IMR90) and in near diploid human tumor (HCT116) cells. Posttranscriptional silencing of DNMT1 induced aneuploidy, cell prolife…
Fleurey-sur-Ouche (Côte-d’Or). Lotissement la Velle, rue de la gare [notice archéologique]
2019
Le village de Fleurey-sur-Ouche, situé à une quinzaine de kilomètres au N-O de Dijon, a connu plusieurs interventions archéologiques depuis 2015 dans un même secteur au cœur du bourg. Un diagnostic conduit en 2016 avait mis au jour plusieurs occupations successives s’échelonnant du Xe au XVIe s. sur la parcelle concernée par la construction d’un futur lotissement. La fouille menée sur une surface de 3 320 m2 a permis de confirmer cette occupation diachronique [...]
