Para um projecto de desenvolvimento em Riba-Côa e no Cima-Côa - A importância dos transportes e das comunicações by João Marinho dos Santos

“… Cette étude revisite, sous la forme d'un article, la thématique de la modernisation des transports et des communications au Portugal pendant la période de la « Régénération », tout en évaluant ses résultats à l'échelle régionale et particulièrement son incidence sur le territoire situé le long du fleuve Côa, un affluent du Douro, et à proximité de la frontière espagnole centrale. À l'heure où la question des « accessibilités » routières (notamment la conversion de l'IPS en autoroute) et ferroviaires (le projet du TGV) est très vive parmi nous, il n'est pas dénué d'intérêt d'écouter le message de l'histoire et de nous interroger sur le rôle des moyens par rapport aux finalités. …”

Functional analysis of conserved C. elegans bHLH family members uncovers lifespan control by a peptidergic hub neuron. by G Robert Aguilar, Berta Vidal, Hongzhu Ji, Joke Evenblij, Chien-Po Liao, Hongfei Ji, Giulio Valperga, Christopher Fang-Yen, Oliver Hobert

“…We analyze here the function of 5 Caenorhabditis elegans bHLH genes, falling into 3 phylogenetically conserved subfamilies, which are continuously expressed in a very small number of postmitotic neurons in the central nervous system. We show (a) that 2 orthologs of the vertebrate bHLHe22/e23 genes, called hlh-17 and hlh-32, function redundantly to specify the identity of a single head interneuron class (AUA), as well as an individual motor neuron (VB2); (b) that the PTF1a ortholog hlh-13 acts as a terminal selector to control terminal differentiation and function of the sole octopaminergic neuron class in C. elegans, RIC; and (c) that the NHLH1/2 ortholog hlh-15 controls terminal differentiation and function of the peptidergic AVK head interneuron class, a known neuropeptidergic signaling hub in the animal. …”
