Megakaryocytes (MK) are giant cells located in the bone marrow that produce blood platelets. Their differentiation is characterized by an increase in proteins and membranes that leads to the elongation of cytoplasmic protrusions called proplatelets (PPTs). PPTs will cross the medullar endothelium to...

Type 2 diabetes is now a real global public health problem. It results from a defect of mass and / or function of pancreatic beta cells. The identification and understanding of the mechanisms underlying these defects would help develop strategies to restore the functional beta cell mass. Glucocortic...

Education Introduction The regulation of gene expression is an essential aspect of cancer transformation. In the rest of the previous year’s teaching on key regulation of cell stress (P53), this year’s teaching focused on the historical case of nuclear receivers. The transcription of genes is the su...

Type 2 Diabetes is a major health care problem responsible for early morbidities and mortality. T2D prevalence inexorably increases due to dramatic changes in our way of life. T2D is preventable but no generally curable and present medications fail to prevent the worsening of glucose control and the...

The regulation of photosynthesis is crucial for photoautotrophic organisms and is usually operated by the modulation of light absorption or by redirection of electrons towards alternative sinks, in order to redistribute energy among several metabolic pathways. Between different mechanisms described,...

How can we be heard in this new international cacophony, also known as ‘global governance’, f...

Phytoplankton activity is responsible for the oceanic production of volatile compounds which, once released into the atmosphere, have an impact on its oxidative capacity, on aerosol formation and on climate evolution. The oceanic emissions of most of these compounds are, however, poorly known becaus...

International audience Improving public health security on a sustainable basis is not simply a matter of adjusting economic variables or a few incentives, even on a large budgetary scale. Such an ambition implies that new compromises must be made at the different levels of stakeholders in health sec...

In this dissertation, we propose an integrative model of intergroup co-radicalization processes to understand those phenomena and apply to the study of the post-terror attack context in France. Drawing upon social identi...

The aquaporins (AQPs) are small membrane proteins forming water channels and transporters for smal solutes like glycerol. The AQPs play important roles in transmembrane or transcellular transports in various cells, like kidney cells, but also in skin epidermis keratinocytes. The skin epidermis is a...
