Lepidopterism, a skin inflammation condition caused by direct or airborne exposure to irritating hairs (setae) from processionary caterpillars, is becoming a significant public health concern. Recent outbreaks of the oak processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea processionea) have caused noteworthy health and economic consequences, with a rising freq...

La grande majorité des enfants de 10 ans déclarent participer régulièrement ou occasionnellement aux tâches domestiques. Certaines tâches leur sont réservées, comme mettre le couvert et débarrasser. Les enfants de famille nombreuse participent davantage que les enfants uniques. Filles et garçons n’effectuent ni le même type, ni le même nombre de tâ...
En France, le regroupement familial s’est imposé dans les années 1970 comme une procédure centrale des politiques migratoires et un des principaux moyens à la disposition des migrant·es pour faire venir leur famille depuis l’étranger. Depuis, les politiques de régulation de l’immigration familiale se sont multipliées et métamorphosées et d'autres p...
Two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channels play a central role in modulating cellular excitability and neuronal function. The unique structure of the selectivity filter in K2P and other potassium channels determines their ability to allow the selective passage of potassium ions across cell membranes. The nematode C. elegans has one of the largest K2P...
Households, i.e. all the individuals living within one dwelling, are the basic geographical unit of socialization. Falling fertility rates, leading to smaller families, and ageing populations, resulting in a higher proportion of (small) elderly households, have led to a decline in average household size in the EU27. However, despite the fact that t...
Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key glycolytic enzyme interacting with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R). This interaction suppresses IP3R-mediated cytosolic [Ca2+] rises. As PKM2 exists in monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric forms displaying different properties including catalytic activity, we investigated the molecular determinants o...

Aspen (Populus tremula L.) is a keystone species and a model system for forest tree genomics. We present an updated resource comprising a chromosome-scale assembly, population genetics and genomics data. Using the resource, we explore the genetic basis of natural variation in leaf size and shape, traits with complex genetic architecture. We generat...
