Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine of cell membranes, releasing the lipid messenger phosphatidic acid. The ability of PLD to affect mTOR signaling...

The sphingolipids are a family of membrane lipids with only a structural role, influencing lipid bilayer properties, but they also act as effector molecules with...

In the field of road safety, internal injuries including abdominal injuries cannot be predicted through crash-tests using dummies. Numerical simulation is a promising...

Aphids are among the main crop pests in temperate regions. Their success as parasites of plants is based on their strong reproductive output due to parthenogenetic...

The type II secretion system (T2SS) is widely exploited by Gram-negative bacteria to secrete diverse virulence factors from the periplasm into the extra-cellular...

Finite element modeling has become more and more suitable to estimate the mechanical properties of trabecular bone. Such models tend to be used to evaluate bone...

Current models for predicting thermal sensation and thermal comfort as well as the solutions to improve the state of thermal well-being of the occupants of a building...

Protein aggregation plays a key role in cell decline and leads to several human disease linked to ageing like Alzheimer or Parkinson disease and prion disease. In...

Dietary intake of n-3 long chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are recommended for their beneficial effects on human health, especially to prevent the...

The Twin Arginine Translocation (Tat) pathway exports folded proteins from the cytoplasm to the periplasm of bacteria. The targeting of the exported proteins to the...

Identification, monitoring and quantification of biomolecules in the CNS is a field of growing interest for identifying biomarkers of neurological diseases. In this...

In a context of growing awareness of aquatic pollution impacts, there is an increasing need to develop methods for hazards and risk assessment of pollutants. In this...

N-3 fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. One metabolite of DHA, protectin DX (PDX),...
