Pathways to transformation: institutionalizing urban agriculture in a Montréal borough

Ecology and Society
Around the world, cities and their residents are experimenting with innovations for social and ecological sustainability, sowing the seeds of good Anthropocenes. Although such seed initiatives tend to operate at society’s margins, some successfully embed

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Figurer la dystopie pour éclairer l’utopie : une fonction de l’exemple historique

Argumentation et Analyse du Discours, 2016
In this paper, dystopia is analyzed as the storytelling of a historical example in its function of guide towards utopia. Enigma and amplification as rhetorical figures are analyzed from two case studies that carry on a different link with oral memory.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

The Effect of Hearing Aid Amplification on Gait Parameters: A Pilot Study Using Ear-Worn Motion Sensors

Audiology Research
Background/Objectives: Hearing loss, particularly in older adults, is associated with reduced physical functioning; increased fall risk; and altered gait patterns, including slower walking speed and shorter step length.

Layered Double Hydroxide-Modified Organic Electrochemical Transistor for Glucose and Lactate Biosensing

Sensors, 2020
Biosensors based on Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) are developed for the selective detection of glucose and lactate. The transistor architecture provides signal amplification (gain) with respect to the simple amperometric response.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

The social amplification of bias

, 2020
The area of judgment and decision-making became very influential under the heuristics-andbiases research program by revealing that the prevailing economic theories lacked realism: The human being is not, as these theories had assumed, perfectly rational.
