Je parle pas la langue 1 by Noëlle MATHIS

“…The fragments come one after the other, accompanying the hesitations, from one language to another, sending the compass points flying, the flesh of the languages inflamed. Within the languages are folds that have been neglected, traced, reconciled.The fragments are threads of different kinds and from diverse times. …”

Review on the Role of Host Immune Response in Protection and Immunopathogenesis during Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Infection by Teshager Dubie, Yasin Mohammed

“…Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major public health problem worldwide and spreads to human via the bite of sand flies during blood meal. Following its inoculation, the promastigotes are immediately taken up by phagocytic cells and these leishmania-infected host cells produce proinflammatory cytokines that activate other immune cells and these infected host cells produce more cytokines and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species for efficient control of leishmania infection. …”

Biochemical characterization of the Escherichia coli surfaceome: a focus on type I fimbriae and flagella by Devon W. Kavanaugh, Adeline Sivignon, Yannick Rossez, Zina Chouit, Christophe Chambon, Christophe Chambon, Louane Béal, Mathilde Bonnet, Michel Hébraud, Michel Hébraud, Yann Guérardel, Hang Thi Thu Nguyen, Nicolas Barnich

“…Using biochemical and glycobiological techniques, including biotin-hydrazide labeling of glycans and chemical and glycosidase treatments, we demonstrate (i) the presence of a well-defined and chemically resistant FimA oligomer in several strains of pathogenic and non-pathogenic E. coli, (ii) the major subunit of type I fimbriae, FimA, in pathogenic and laboratory strains is recognized by concanavalin A, (iii) standard methods to remove N-glycans (PNGase F) or a broad-specificity mannosidase fail to remove the glycan structure, despite the treatments resulting in altered migration in SDS-PAGE, (iv) PNGase F treatment results in a novel 32 kDa band recognized by anti-FliC antiserum. While the exact identity of the glycan(s) and their site of attachment currently elude detection by conventional glycomics/glycoproteomics, the current findings highlight a potential additional layer of complexity of the surface (glyco) proteome of the commensal or adhesive and invasive E. coli strains studied.…”

Differential Coding of Fruit, Leaf, and Microbial Odours in the Brains of <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> and <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> by Claire Dumenil, Gülsüm Yildirim, Albrecht Haase

“…Unlike <i>D. melanogaster</i>, which reproduces on overripe and fermenting fruits on the ground, <i>D. suzukii</i> prefers to lay its eggs in ripening fruits still on the plants. Flies locate fruit hosts by their odorant volatiles, which are detected and encoded by a highly specialised olfactory system before being translated into behaviour. …”

A Miniature and Low-Power-Consumption Stress Measurement System for Embedded Explosive in Multilayer Target Penetration by Yu Hang, Fei Shang, Shang Gao, Deren Kong, Xuehui Zhang

“…However, this method is unsuitable for an MTP experiment where the penetrator flies with a long distance. This article proposes a stress measurement system (SMS) installed in a penetrator for explosive stress detection based on a qualitative analysis for the stress characteristics of the explosive. …”

Microbiome response to cadmium and copper ingestion in the spider Steatoda grossa (Theridiidae): short-term and long-term effects of metal intoxication by G. Wilczek, M. Malicka, K. Kasperkiewicz, J. Łukasiak, C. A. Panek, J. Strzelczyk

“…The purpose of our study was to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate changes in the microbiome of the opisthosoma of the spider Steatoda grossa (Theridiidae) in response to short-term (4 weeks) and long-term (12 months) exposure to copper, as a biogenic element, and cadmium, as a xenobiotic, administered under controlled laboratory conditions using Drosophila hydei flies as prey. Regardless of the duration of exposure to metals-contaminated food, their concentrations in the bodies of the tested individuals significantly exceeded control values. …”

The Piesberg: A NW-German site of international importance for the Pennsylvanian (Late Carboniferous) by Angelika Leipner, Tobias Fischer, Patrick Chellouche

“…Piesberg quarry is famous for its Upper Carboniferous plant and arthropod fossils, including several holotypes of flying insects. The high degree of maturity of the Piesberg strata, such as the presence of anthracitic coal, quartzite, and large quartz crystals, led to controversies over a possible underlying thermal anomaly. …”
