Expériences paysagères et pratique du ski de randonnée dans les Alpes françaises by Stéphane Marpot, Laine Chanteloup, Clémence Perrin-Malterre

“…This landscape experience will challenge a vision-centric definition of the landscape in order to apprehend the landscape as determined by human perception and, above all, as determined by the relationships formed and materialised between existing elements (animals, plants, abiotic elements). Far from a passive contemplation in which only vision is predominant, "making beautiful or fine traces" entirely engages the practitioners in a physical capacity. …”

Relationship between Prolactin Plasma Levels and White Matter Volume in Women with Multiple Sclerosis by L. De Giglio, F. Marinelli, L. Prosperini, G. M. Contessa, F. Gurreri, M. C. Piattella, F. De Angelis, V. T. Barletta, V. Tomassini, P. Pantano, C. Pozzilli

“…Our data of a positive association between PRL serum levels and WMV support the role of PRL in promoting myelin repair as documented in animal models of demyelination. The lack of an increase of PRL in the presence of gadolinium enhancement, contrasts with the view considering this hormone as an immune-stimulating and detrimental factor in the inflammatory process associated with MS.…”

Un/Detectability in Times of “Equality”: HIV, Queer Health, and Homonormativity by Jan Huebenthal

“…As medical advances have made HIV survival possible, narratives of “undetectable” viral loads often fail to account for the multiple layers of racial and political privilege that animate and sustain them. For example, African American men who have sex with men are eight times more likely than whites to be diagnosed with HIV, and one in two gay black men will likely be diagnosed with HIV in his lifetime—and African Americans face low rates of access to and retention in HIV care. …”

Developing an On‐Resin Synthesis of α‐Galactosylceramide‐Peptide Conjugate Vaccines by Dr. Michael A. Meijlink, Dr. Susanna T. S. Chan, Kathryn J. Farrand, Sarah L. Draper, Dr. Oliva K. Burn, Jasmine M. Seifert‐Simpson, Ngarangi C. Mason, Dr. Lisa M. Connor, Prof. Ian F. Hermans, Prof. Gavin F. Painter, Dr. Benjamin J. Compton

“…Abstract The covalent attachment of peptide antigens to the NKT cell agonist, α‐galactosylceramide (αGalCer), generates self‐adjuvanting vaccines that prevent and/or eliminate disease in animal models of cancer and infectious disease. To date, the manufacture of these glycolipid‐peptide (GLP) conjugate vaccines utilises an automated solid‐phase process to produce the peptide followed by a manual ‘wet chemistry’ conjugation step. …”
