Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic intracellular pathogen that inhabits artificial water systems and can be transmitted to human hosts by contaminated aerosols. Upon inhalation, it colonizes and grows inside the alveolar macrophages and causes Legionnaires’ disease. To effectively control and manage Legionnaires’ disease, a deep understandi...

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is one of the most common diseases in the intensive care unit, where the development of disease is closely related with the host immune response. Monocytes play an important role in both innate and adaptive immune system. We aimed to investigate the changes of circulating monocyte subsets in subjects with HAP to ex...

The SCCS concludes the following:1. In view of the above, and taking into account the scientific data provided, does the SCCSconsider hydroxyapatite (nano) safe when used in oral cosmetic products according to themaximum concentrations and specifications as reported in the submission, taking intoaccount reasonably foreseeable exposure conditions?Ba...
En France, 6800 sites pollués ou potentiellement pollués ont été recensé en 2018 par la base de données en ligne BASOL du BRGM (Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières). 31% de ces sites présentent une pollution aux hydrocarbures, et 12 % une contamination par des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP). Ces polluants organiques représen...

Electromethanogenesis is an innovative technology addressing the need of storing renewable energy from un- programmable sources. It allows for the electrochemical production of methane from CO2-rich wastes on mi- crobial cathodes, in a logic of power-to-gas (BEP2G). The challenge of cost-effective and sustainable biocathodes enhancing the microorga...
This multidisciplinary study aims to decipher the impact of ancient charcoal production on past and present‐day soils in the northern Vosges Mountains. Soil observations in the field and laboratory were complemented by charcoal and phytolith studies on large thin sections, molecular analyses of organic pollutants, and phytolith analysis on bulk sam...

Strontium substituted HAP (SrHAP), with a 10 mol% substitution, was mineralized on increasing weight percentages of graphene oxide (2, 4 and 6). The GS composites were comprehensively characterized for drug delivery in bone reconstruction. The formation of SrHAP was verified by XRD and FT-IR results. The apatite crystallization was influenced by gr...
A review of technological solutions and advances in the framework of a Vertical Heterogeneous Network (VHetNet) integrating satellite, airborne and terrestrial networks is presented. The disruptive features and challenges offered by a fruitful cooperation among these segments within a ubiquitous and seamless wireless connectivity are described. The...
