improving bees resilience to stressors by restoring harmony and balance

the overall aim of this 4year betterb project is to improve the resilience of beekeeping to abiotic stresses such as climate change habitat loss and hazardous chemicals honey bee colonies are often poorly adapted to cope with these stresses in no small part due to modern beekeeping practices the key to resilient beekeeping is to harness the power of nature to restore harmony and balance inside the honey bee colony and between the colony and the environment both of which have been disturbed by human activities we believe that the path to harmony and balance is shown by darwinian colonies abandoned colonies and feral colonies that have survived in the wild however such colonies usually lack many favorable characteristics that are important in modern beekeeping the solution here is to understand the processes and mechanisms that apply in nature and to adapt modern beekeeping practices and decision making accordingly and when appropriate using the benefits of advanced technologies this is what betterb stands for the implementation of this new approach in apicultural management will be done in close collaboration with the actors involved the restoration of harmony and balance must take place on three levels the environment the honey bee and beekeeping practices
laser activated chemistry of reactive intermediates direct observation in the jet

the goal of lacrido is to lock reactive intermediates of a fast reaction by freezing them through joulesthompson expansion in the molecular jet then precisely determine their threedimensional 3d structures by chirpedpulse microwave spectroscopy to capture all species marking the reaction mechanismlacrido comprises two stages the first stage focuses on the detection of van der waals complexes of the educts through their 3d structures encoded in the microwave spectra new results of the lowerrisk first stage will pave the way to the higher riskhigh gain second stage where reactive intermediates are formed by laser activation adiabatically frozen and locked in the collisionfree zone of the molecular jet where the rotational temperature is close to the absolute zeropoint then captured exploiting the strength of microwave spectroscopy in its specificity of conformationsensitive detection unrivalled by any other type of spectroscopy and chemical methodsthe first reaction chosen as key target is dielsalder one of the most classic and important reactions in chemistry backed up by the hueckel theory dielsalder is theoretically described to be a singlestep reaction but details on the reaction course through the van der waals complex of the educts have never been demonstrated experimentally and will be explored by lacrido giving the final answer for an old traditional question the second experimental stage targets the atmospherically important reaction of isoprene with hydroxyl oh radical its reaction mechanism is extremely diverse with many steps and possible pathways to different stable products though lacking experimental evidence previous studies proposed that the reaction passes through two radical intermediates each in a cis and a trans configuration capturing these shortlived intermediates and determining their 3d structures would give the decisive proof directly extracted from experiments on the reaction paths actually taken

revert regeneration as a vulnerable state for microbedriven injury and tumorigenesis

tissues with high turnover are hierarchically organized and rely on longlived stem cells that are protected by a variety of mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract highly active stem cells are located in the base of crypts where differentiated cells shield them from environmental threats it has recently emerged that mucosal injuries initiate regenerative repair programs that promote a disruption of cellular hierarchies and reversal of differentiated cells back to the proliferative stem cell state while this remarkable plasticity enables rapid injury repair i propose that the recruitment of differentiated cells to the stem cell pool represents a critical event for the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations because differentiated cells are more exposed to the environment and less equipped to repair dna damage particularly in the colon with its dense and potentially harmful microbiota injurydriven dedifferentiation may be linked to loss of cell functions that control the microbiota and direct exposure of de novo stem cells to bacteria and their genotoxic virulence factors revert will investigate the longterm consequences of such transient interactions on molecular cellular and tissue levels and explore the impact of the regenerative state on mucosal microbial ecology and function revert will combine stem cell biology approaches such as lineage tracing organoids and assembloids with microbiology techniques such as gnotobiotic infection models and integrate complex systems biology technologies to build up a picture of dynamic tissue responses to injuries and the ability of microbes to interfere with them revert has the potential to establish fundamental new knowledge of principles that govern mucosal integrity and reveal its vulnerabilities in the context of injury it has the potential to drastically expand our understanding of processes that drive chronic tissue dysfunction and carcinogenesis
