LXR, prostate cancer and cholesterol: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
2012
International audience; Cholesterol is a fundamental molecule for life. Located in the cell membrane, this sterol participates to the cell signaling of growth factors. Inside the cell it can be converted in hormones such as androgens or modulate the immune response. Such important functions could not be solely dependent of external supply by diet hence de novo synthesis could occur from acetate in almost all mammalian cells. If a deficiency in cholesterol sourcing leads to development troubles, overstocking has been associated to various diseases such as atherosclerosis and cancers. Cholesterol homeostasis should thus be tightly regulated at the uptake, de novo synthesis, storage and export…
Fragmentation des habitats et interactions hôtes-parasites
2021
Habitat fragmentation is one of the main threats to global biodiversity and despite an abundant literature on the impact of fragmentation on species abundance and diversity, the consequences of this global change in terms of ecological and evolutionary processes remain poorly understood. Beyond their direct contribution to biodiversity, as species-rich category of organisms, parasites could be involved in biodiversity change as key actors of ecological and evolutionary processes. The present work aims to understand the effect of forest fragmentation on host-parasite interactions. It is based on a large sampling carried out in the Lesser Antilles and in French Guiana, and allowing the obtent…
Étude des interconnexions dans les réseaux de régulation de Listeria monocytogenes en réponse aux conditions de l'environnement
2019
The facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a highly adaptable organism widely distributed in the environment. The ingestion of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes by at-risk individuals can ultimately lead to listeriosis, one of the leading causes of food-borne fatalities in developed countries. Regulatory networks are crucial for the adaptation and survival of this pathogen. The accessory gene regulator (Agr) system has been shown to be involved in virulence, biofilm formation, and survival of L. monocytogenes, affecting the transcription of over 700 genes. The alternative sigma factor Sigma B (σB) controls the general stress response in L. monocytogenes, regulati…
Diversity and complexity of microbial communities from a chlor-alkali tailings dump
2015
Abstract Revegetation of the tailings dumps produced by various industrial activities is necessary to prevent dust storms and erosion and represents a great challenge for ecological restoration. Little is known about the microbial colonisation and community structure of revegetated tailings following site exploitation. Here, we report the sequencing of 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) fungal RNA gene amplicons from chlor-alkali residue and from an adjacent undisturbed soil to define the composition and assembly of the rhizosphere microbial communities. After quality filtering, a total of 72,373 and 89,929 bacterial sequences and 122,618 and 111,209 fungal sequences remained fo…
Toward a socio-cognitive approach of spatial data co-production
2010
The abilities of territorial communities to understand and control their development in a sustainable and equitable way, depend on territorial information sharing. In this context, the paper intends to understand and analyse the issues of spatial data co-production process. It provides understanding and operation elements so that spatial data sharing can progressively evolve into geomatics learning networks, also termed "communities of practice". This communities of practice offer, in our view, one of the most important component of Territorial Intelligence
La présence de l’Etat dans l’Est du diocèse des Gaules au IVe s. : au miroir des sources matérielles et écrites
2021
Der vorliegende Artikel schlägt eine Synthese der Präsenz des Staates in Ostgallien vor. Er beschränkt sich auf das 4. Jh. von der Tetrarchie bis in die theodosianische Zeit. Er stützt sich auf eine kritische und fachübergreifende Betrachtung der materiellen und schriftlichen Dokumentation, die insbesondere bemüht ist, die Daten in Form von Karten zu präsentieren.

Location of high speed rail stations in French medium-size city and their mobility and territorial implications
2009
International audience; In France, the extension of High Speed Rail network has come with the creation of new stations and a diversification of territorial configurations in which the stations fit. If the reduction in travel time allowed by high speed train increases mobility and contributes to the economic development of metropolitan areas, the implications of these stations on local mobility and territorial development depend on the station's location. The example of midsized cities allows us to analyze the part played by the location of stations in spatial organization. The impact of HST on local mobility and territorial development differed depending on whether the metropolitan area is …
