Twenty-day-old cucumber plants were submitted to copper stress during 5 days. Leaf expansion
rather than dry weight accumulation was the first target of copper inhibition. Despite of a …

Peatlands contain approximately one third of all soil organic carbon ( SOC ). Warming can
alter above‐ and belowground linkages that regulate soil organic carbon dynamics and C ‐…

Respiratory viral infections represent the most common cause of allergic asthma
exacerbations. Amplification of the type-2 immune response is strongly implicated in asthma …

Living in a microbe-rich environment reduces the risk of developing asthma. Exposure of
humans or mice to unmethylated CpG DNA (CpG) from bacteria reproduces these protective …

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have limited efficacy in reducing chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) exacerbations and increase pneumonia risk, through unknown …

Low exposure to microbial products, respiratory viral infections and air pollution are major
risk factors for allergic asthma, yet the mechanistic links between such conditions and host …

The ecology of peatland testate amoebae is well studied along broad gradient from very wet
(pool) to dry (hummock) micro-sites where testate amoebae are often found to respond …

The present study was aimed at examining the distribution and abundance of glycerol dialkyl
glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) of archaeal and bacterial origin in peat samples from surface …

Since the discovery of interleukin 33 as the adopted ligand for the then orphan ST2 receptor,
many studies have implicated this cytokine in the pathogenesis of respiratory allergy and …

Population dynamics and feeding habits of the testate amoebae Nebela tincta and
Hyalosphenia papilio were studied along a short “fen” to “bog” gradient in a Sphagnum-dominated …
