Encodage d'une information sinusoidale dans un circuit neuronal et résonances induites par une perturbation
2019
Notre étude porte sur un circuit dont la tension obéit à un système d’équations correspondant à unmodèle de neurone. Nous analysons expérimentalement et en simulation numérique comment ce circuit neuronalencode un stimuli sinusoidal en train de potentiels d’action. Nous présentons un diagramme d’encodage où apparaissentdifférentes transitions selon la fréquence du stimuli. Nous montrons ensuite qu’une perturbation hautefréquence peut améliorer la détection d’un stimuli sinusoidal via le phénomène de Résonance Vibrationnelle. Eneffet, la perturbation peut induire des résonances qui coincident avec les transitions observées dans le diagrammed’encodage.
Adaptation des communautés microbiennes aux polluants chimiques
2013
L’Homme au travers des activités industrielles, agricoles,…, qu’il développe, exerce une pression de plus en plus prégnante sur l’environnement et sur les organismes qui y vivent. La pression anthropique est quasi-généralisée à la surface du globe terrestre. Elle se caractérise par le relargage et la dispersion de nombreux polluants organiques et métalliques, conduisant des scientifiques à proposer que l’humanité était entrée, depuis la révolution industrielle, dans l’anthropocène, une nouvelle époque géologique. Les sols arables qui nourrissent l’humanité ne sont pas indemnes de contaminations. Ils sont fréquemment exposés aux intrants chimiques et organiques employés dans les itinéraires …

Genetic determinisms, evolution and detection of non-target-site based resistance to herbicides inhibiting acetolactate-synthase in rye-grass (Lolium…
2016
The aim of this study is to unravel the genetic determinism of non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides inhibiting acetolactate-synthase (ALS) in the major weed rye-grass (Lolium sp.), and to estimate the feasibility of NTSR diagnosis based on genetic data. On the one hand, this work contributes to the understanding of the processes driving the evolution of NTSR to herbicides, and on the other hand it lays the foundations for the development of a diagnosis tool to identify NTSR to ALS inhibiting herbicides. - Using a quantitative transcriptome sequencing approach, we showed that NTSR evolve by recurrent selection of higher and higher constitutive expression levels of genes involved i…
Climate change: where are we right now?
2019
15ème Rencontres Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Nature : Changement climatique, humanité et biodiversité; International audience; Greenhouse gases (GHGs), naturally part of the atmosphere, have protected us from severe glaciations in thepast. Today, human activities increase GHG concentrations and cause rapid and unprecedented Earth warming.Climate change is not resumed only to warming, water cycle is also changed. All the researches confi rm: the climateis changing fast, too fast for ecosystems and societies to adapt. Despite the alerts of the international scientifi ccommunity, States gathered into Conferences of the Parties (COP) ratify agreements but do not comply with all theircommitments. Pu…
The Crosstalk of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC), Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation in Protective and Adaptive Responses
2020
International audience; The potential use of stem cell-based therapies for the repair and regeneration of various tissues and organs is a major goal in repair medicine. Stem cells are classified by their potential to differentiate into functional cells. Compared with other sources, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the advantage of being abundant and easy to obtain. ADSCs are considered to be tools for replacing, repairing, and regenerating dead or damaged cells. The capacity of ADSCs to maintain their properties depends on the balance of complex signals in their microenvironment. Their properties and the associated outcomes are in part regulated by reactive oxygen species, which medi…
Persistent establishment of a tropical disease in Europe: the preadaptation of schistosomes to overwinter
2019
International audience; Background: Global changes promote the spread of infectious diseases worldwide. In this context, tropical uro-genital schistosomiasis is now permanently established in Corsica since its first emergence in 2013. The local persistence of the tropical pathogens (schistosomes) responsible for urogenital schistosomiasis at such latitudes might be explained by (i) the presence of its intermediate host, the snail Bulinus truncatus, (ii) the recurrent local reseeding of schistosomes by their vertebrate hosts (either human or animal) every summer, and/or (iii) the maintenance and survival of schistosomes within their snail hosts over winter.Methods: In this study we conducted…
Persistance and adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes in the soil : role of the communication system Agr
2014
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous bacterium responsible for listeriosis, a food-borne disease. This pathogen has been isolated from various environments of which the telluric environment. The presence of L. monocytogenes in soil can increase health hazards due to the risk of transfer to vegetables, animals and animal products and water. Considering the role of soil in the circulation of pathogens from farm environment to plant and animal products and eventually to foodstuff, it is critical to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors that drive the fate of L. monocytogenes in soil. Genome-wide and transcriptomic analyses found that an important part of the genome of L. monocytogenes (7.…
Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome
2020
Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome (PDS) was first described by the Geriatrics School of Dijon (France), three decades ago, under the name «psychomotor regression syndrome». Over time, the original clinical features remained unchanged. However, progress has been made in its pathophysiology understanding and care, hence the new name, PDS, appeared in the 1990s. The PDS is also called sub-cortico-frontal dysfunction syndrome since the 2000s. It corresponds to a decompensation of posture, gait and psychomotor automatisms, related to an alteration of the postural and motor programming, which is a consequence of sub-cortico-frontal lesions. The clinical features of PDS associate backward disequi…
