iGrace – Emotional Computational Model for EmI Companion Robot.

open access: yes, 2009
We will discuss in this chapter the research in the field of emotional interaction, to maintain a non-verbal interaction with children from 4 to 8 years. This work fits into the EmotiRob project, whose goal is to comfort the children vulnerable and / or in hospitalization with an emotional robot companion.

Sine-Gordon theory for the equation of state of classical hard-core Coulomb systems. II. High-temperature expansion

open access: yes, 2001
We perform a high-temperature expansion of the grand potential of the restrictive primitive model of electrolytes in the frame of the extended sine-Gordon theory exposed in the companion paper. We recover a result already obtained by Stell an Lebowitz (J.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

A Binary Origin for Ultralong-period Radio Pulsars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We propose a possible binary evolution model for the formation of ultralong-period pulsars. The model involves two key stages: first, a neutron star (NS) in wide binaries undergoes an effective spin-down phase through wind-fed accretion from its massive ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Interferometric view into RT Pav’s long secondary period

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Long secondary periods (LSPs) occur in roughly one third of evolved stars, yet their origin remains uncertain. Two leading hypotheses are oscillatory convective modes and a binary companion enshrouded in dust. Aims. We investigate the LSP in the
