RATIONALE: The incidence of allergic disorders is increasing in developed countries and has been associated with reduced exposure to microbes and alterations in the commensal bacterial flora. OBJECTIVES: To ascertain the relevance of commensal bacteria upo ...
Unsaturated water flow through soil aggregates is controlled by the contacts between aggregates. The contacts are highly conductive when wet and become bottle-necks for flow when drained. We postulate that the hydraulic conductivity of the contacts is in f ...
The aim of the present work was to decipher the cellular basis of the immuno-regulatory role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha in cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. After challenge with a contact allergen, we observed augmented ...
The role of interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) in contact hypersensitivity induced by the haptens, oxazolone and 2,4,6-trinitro-chlorobenzene (TNCB), was investigated in mice with a targeted disruption of the IFN gamma receptor (IFN gamma-R-/-). The 24-h ear-swe ...

CD8+ memory T cells have recently been recognized as playing a key role in natural immunity against unrelated viral infections, a phenomenon referred to as "heterologous antiviral immunity." We now provide data that the cellular immunological interactions ...

An electrolytic cell assembly, e.g. for use in solar panels, is formed by placing coated metal wires between the conducting layers of two conducting glasses, resp. A pressure force is applied to press the metal wires between the conducting layers and to br ...

Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid, soluble Ag, and immune cells from peripheral tissues to lymph nodes (LNs), yet the contribution of peripheral lymphatic drainage to adaptive immunity remains poorly understood. We examined immune responses to ...

Activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha, a nuclear hormone receptor that heterodimerizes with retinoid X receptor, stimulate epidermal differentiation and inhibit proliferation. Here we determined the anti-inflammatory effects of per ...
Odor perception may be considered from different perspectives: the physicochemical properties of odorants and target surfaces of interest, the biological aspects of electing odorant molecules by odorant receptors and their related downstream cellular signa ...
The aim of this thesis work is to study the spin-dependent transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). To do so, the electrical resistance of MWNT contacted between ferromagnetic electrodes has been measured, as a function of the contacts magnetic co ...
