A novel role of EWSR1 protein in RNA translation regulation
The Ewing Sarcoma breakpoint region 1 protein (EWSR1) is a member of the FET (FUS, EWSR1, and TAF15) family of proteins, implicated in several aspects of cell biology and found mutated in multiple diseases. Primarily, EWSR1 attracted broad attention as one of the most susceptible genes to breakage/translocation, originally identified because of the...

The Drosophila ‐parasitizing wasp Leptopilina heterotoma : A comprehensive model system in ecology and evolution
peer reviewed / The parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma has been used as a model system for more than 70 years, contributing greatly to diverse research areas in ecology and evolution. Here, we synthesized the large body of work on L. heterotoma with the aim to identify new research avenues that could be of interest also for researchers studying othe...
Natural variation in nutrient homeostasis mechanisms of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Natural variation in living organisms is essential in stress responses and adaptation to new environments. Many of the traits presenting natural variation are regulated by a complex genetic architecture of genes with small to moderate effects. Consequently, understanding which variants impact traits of medical, industrial or agronomical interest is...
Chemical composition, antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and alpha-glucosidase activity of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni extra...
peer reviewed / Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is an endemic species to Paraguay famous for its sweetening power and therapeutic potential for various diseases such as diabetes. The present work evaluates the chemical composition and antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and α-glucosidase activities of S. rebaudiana. The essential oil (EO) of dry Stevia leav...
Diversity and evolution of Pinaceae from the Lower Cretaceous of Belgium
The Lower Cretaceous is a period during which several groups of embryophytes still present in current ecosystems appear in the fossil record and/or diversify, such as Pinaceae, Cupressaceae and angiosperms. At the beginning of the Lower Cretaceous, gymnosperms still constituted the main component of arborescent strata (Gynkgoales, Cycadales). The P...
Study on the mechanism of meat quality deterioration induced by the freezing temperature
Freezing is the most common meat preservation technique and is essential in meat production and trade circulation. Although freezing extends the shelf life of meat, the physical and chemical changes that occur during the freezing process make it less appreciated than fresh meat. The deterioration of frozen meat quality induces not only nutritional ...
Description of the Gap between Local Agricultural Practices and Agroecological Soil Management Tools in Zerhoun and in t...
peer reviewed / Agroecology is an agricultural, holistic, and innovative approach, which aims to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of agricultural systems. This approach is very rewarding for agriculture in developing countries, mainly in arid zones where water resources are in sharp decline. In this study, we examined farm...
Escherichia coli O80 in Healthy Cattle: Absence of Shigatoxigenic and Enteropathogenic E. coli O80:H2 and (Phylo) Genomi...
peer reviewed / The origin of human and calf infections by Shigatoxigenic (STEC) and enteropathogenic (EPEC) Escherichia coli O80:H2 is still unknown. The aim of this study was to identify E. coli O80 in healthy cattle with an emphasis on melibiose non-fermenting E. coli O80:H2. Faecal materials collected from 149 bulls at 1 slaughterhouse and 194 ...
