Study of the therapeutic potential of an akkermansia muciniphila-based products in subjects with an increased cardio-metabolic risk.

Overweight and obesity have reached worldwide epidemic level. Both overweight and obesity are characterized by comorbidities such as cardio-metabolic risk factors (i.e., insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, low-grade inflammation) representing a major public health problem. Therefore, it is urgent to find a therapeutic solution to target all these metabolic disorders.

Among the environmental factors able to influence the individual susceptibility to gain weight and to develop metabolic disorders associated with obesity, we have contributed to the demonstration that gut bacteria (i.e, gut microbiota) influence host metabolism. 
We recently discovered a putative interesting microbial candidate, namely Akkermansia muciniphila. More exactly, we found that the administration of Akkermansia muciniphila reduced body weight gain, fat mass gain, glycemia, cholesterolemia and inflammatory markers in diet-induced obese mice. Moreover, in overweight/obese patients subjected to a calorie restriction diet, the higher abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila was associated with a better cardio-metabolic status. These observations suggested that the administration of Akkermansia muciniphila in overweight or obese people could be a very interesting therapeutic solution. 
Currently, no human study have investigated the beneficial effects of Akkermansia muciniphila administration on obesity and metabolic disorders. 

Thus, the main objective of this ERC POC project “Microbes4U” is to get the proof of concept in humans of the safety and efficacy of Akkermansia muciniphila administration in the treatment of overweight, obesity and metabolic disorders associated such as insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Koszul calculus of preprojective algebras

We show that the Koszul calculus of a preprojective algebra, whose graph is distinct from A$\_1$ and A$\_2$, vanishes in any (co)homological degree $p>2$. Moreover, its (higher) cohomological calculus is isomorphic as a bimodule to its (higher) homological calculus, by exchanging degrees $p$ and $2-p$, and we prove a generalised version of the 2-Calabi-Yau property. For the ADE Dynkin graphs, the preprojective algebras are not Koszul and they are not Calabi-Yau in the sense of Ginzburg's definition, but they satisfy our generalised Calabi-Yau property and we say that they are Koszul complex Calabi-Yau (Kc-Calabi-Yau) of dimension $2$. For Kc-Calabi-Yau (quadratic) algebras of any dimension, defined in terms of derived categories, we prove a Poincar\'e Van den Bergh duality theorem. We compute explicitly the Koszul calculus of preprojective algebras for the ADE Dynkin graphs.
Genomic islands of divergence in the Yellow Tang and the Brushtail Tang Surgeonfishes

The current ease of obtaining thousands of molecular markers challenges the notion that full phylogenetic concordance, as proposed by phylogenetic species concepts, is a requirement for defining species delimitations. Indeed, the presence of genomic islands of divergence, which may be the cause, or in some cases the consequence, of speciation, precludes concordance. Here, we explore this issue using thousands of RAD markers on two sister species of surgeonfishes (Teleostei: Acanthuridae), Zebrasoma flavescens and Z. scopas, and several populations within each species. Species are readily distinguished based on their colors (solid yellow and solid brown, respectively), yet populations and species are neither distinguishable using mitochondrial markers (cytochrome c oxidase 1), nor using 5193 SNPs (pairwise Φst = 0.034). In contrast, when using outlier loci, some of them presumably under selection, species delimitations, and strong population structure follow recognized taxonomic positions (pairwise Φst = 0.326). Species and population delimitation differences based on neutral and selected markers are likely due to local adaptation, thus being consistent with the idea that these genomic islands of divergence arose as a consequence of isolation. These findings, which are not unique, raise the question of a potentially important pathway of divergence based on local adaptation that is only evident when looking at thousands of loci.

REgional exchanges and policy making for protecting and valorising biodiVERSity in Europe

Ecosystems have gradually been converted through the expansion of human activities and the introduction/invasion of new species. As a result, species and genetic diversity have declined. 
Regional and local authorities can organise land planning and regulate human activities in order to preserve biodiversity (natural area protection, greens corridors, conservation and valorisation of species and varieties,...). 
REVERSE aims to improve, by means of interregional cooperation, the effectiveness of regional development policies in the area of biodiversity conservation and valorisation, in order to REVERSE biodiversity loss on their territories. 
Partners will exchange experiences and knowledge on biodiversity conservation and valorisation measures. 
Less experienced regions will be invited to match more experienced ones on a win-to-win basis. 
Project's activities will focus on identifying the best good practices in each partner's territory,
which will then be presented during site visits and interregional seminars, in the field of land planning and natural heritage conservation measures, of uses of biodiversity for adapting to climate change, and of sustainable management of biodiversity.
Identified good practices will be made available for transfer to other regional and local authorities through a good practice guide, presenting appropriate themes, territories, partners, indicators for biodiversity conservation across Europe. 

Specific recommendations and an action plan for reversing biodiversity loss will enable to transfer the project's results into regional policies. 
Result dissemination to general public and policy makers will contribute to create an interregional network for conserving and valorising biodiversity, open to non partner stakeholders.

Study on Surface Roughness and Friction during Hot Rolling of Stainless Steel 301

A well-defined boundary condition is important for generating an accurate model for simulating metal forming process. It is important to characterize the features of the oxide scale in hot rolling of stainless steel strip. Short time oxidation tests in humid air with water vapor content of 7.0 vol. % were carried out using Gleeble 3500 thermo-mechanical simulator. The deformation, surface morphology of oxide scale, and the friction in hot rolling were studied by conducting hot rolling tests. The results show that the surface roughness decreases with an increase of reduction. The effect of oxide scale on friction and surface roughness transfer in hot rolling depends on oxide scale generated during reheating. When reheating time is increased, the average thickness of oxide scale increases and a relatively rough surface was obtained after hot rolling. Thick oxide scale of 301 steel shows the high lubricative effect.
The fundamental limits of stable recovery in compressed sensing

Compressed sensing has shown that a wide variety of structured signals can be recovered from a limited number of noisy linear measurements. This paper considers the extent to which such recovery is robust to signal and measurement uncertainty. The main result is a non-asymptotic upper bound on the reconstruction error in terms of two key quantities: the best approximation error of the signal (with respect to a user-defined approximation set) and the measurement error. We assume a random Gaussian sensing matrix but place no restrictions on the signal or the noise. This result provides a simple and yet powerful framework for analyzing the fundamental limits of stable recovery, allowing us to sharpen existing results as well as derive new ones.
Epatite virale C

L’infezione da virus dell’epatite C (HCV) colpisce più di 54 milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. È la causa di una malattia sistemica che associa manifestazioni epatiche ed extraepatiche: vasculite crioglobulinemica e manifestazioni generali legate all’infiammazione cronica (diabete, manifestazioni cardio-, reno- o cerebrovascolari e tumori extraepatici, in particolare linfoma non-Hodgkin). La significativa morbimortalità legata all’HCV giustifica quindi lo screening e il trattamento, che hanno fatto notevoli progressi in questi ultimi 2 decenni. La comprensione del ciclo replicativo dell’HCV ha consentito lo sviluppo di antivirali orali ad azione diretta specifici per l’HCV che prendono di mira le proteine virali (la proteasi NS3/4A, la polimerasi NS5B e la proteina multifunzionale NS5A del complesso di replicazione). La combinazione di due o tre inibitori specifici, spesso coformulati in una capsula, senza interferone pegilato e il più delle volte senza ribavirina, permette un’elevata efficacia antivirale (oltre il 97% di guarigione) per delle durate di trattamento di 8-12 settimane con una tolleranza soddisfacente. L’infezione da HCV è l’unica infezione virale cronica da cui si può guarire e la guarigione virologica consente la stabilizzazione o, meglio, la reversibilità delle manifestazioni epatiche o extraepatiche. Ciò sottolinea l’importanza di rafforzare le politiche di screening e di accesso alle cure per sperare a breve termine nell’eliminazione dell’infezione virale C, auspicata entro il 2030 dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità. Se tale eliminazione è possibile in alcuni paesi (Islanda, Francia, Germania, ecc.), sembra compromessa in altri, dove la prevenzione (Stati Uniti), lo screening e/o l’accesso alle cure sono ancora insufficienti (Africa subsahariana, Russia, ecc.).
A scalable approach to the computation of invariant measures for high-dimensional Markovian systems

The Markovian invariant measure is a central concept in many disciplines. Conventional numerical techniques for data-driven computation of invariant measures rely on estimation and further numerical processing of a transition matrix. Here we show how the quality of data-driven estimation of a transition matrix crucially depends on the validity of the statistical independence assumption for transition probabilities. Moreover, the cost of the invariant measure computation in general scales cubically with the dimension - and is usually unfeasible for realistic high-dimensional systems. We introduce a method relaxing the independence assumption of transition probabilities that scales quadratically in situations with latent variables. Applications of the method are illustrated on the Lorenz-63 system and for the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data of the α-synuclein protein. We demonstrate how the conventional methodologies do not provide good estimates of the invariant measure based upon the available α-synuclein MD data. Applying the introduced approach to these MD data we detect two robust meta-stable states of α-synuclein and a linear transition between them, involving transient formation of secondary structure, qualitatively consistent with previous purely experimental reports.
Mapping and modulating integrin mediated interactions

Multicellular life depends on the effective communication between cells and their surroundings. One of the primary conduits for cellular interactions is the membrane-embedded receptor family of integrins. Integrins are crucial for several key biological processes, from blood clotting, to proper immune response. Integrin misregulation is at the heart of several diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, MS, or cancer, and integrins are targeted by several viruses as entry points. Yet, our current drugs are not capable of efficiently combating these diseases, as we do not have sufficient molecular and network level knowledge of how integrins work.

The main research objective of MIMIC is to develop an original hybrid in silico/in vitro framework that allows the identification and characterization of unknown elements of integrin signaling. It will present the first such systematic large-scale effort, integrating computational modeling with state-of-the-art experimental techniques. MIMIC will provide the first structured description of integrin ligand specificity profiles, extending our current limited descriptions of extracellular integrin interactions. Thus, MIMIC will be the missing link between integrin research and recent advancements in linear motif research.

The developed framework will not only enable the identification of currently unknown integrin ligands, but will also lay the foundations for innovative approaches in the development of therapeutic agents for integrin-related diseases. Building on the developed experimentally verified computational models, I will construct a novel peptide-based inhibitor design pipeline. MIMIC will provide a structural basis for currently missing immune-specific interactions in atomic detail. I will use this knowledge to design the first immunomodulatory peptide-based integrin inhibitor, serving as a proof-of-concept for future therapeutic applications.

Accelerating photoredox catalysis in continuous-flow systems

The use of visible light energy to induce chemical transformations constitutes an interesting and green activation mode of organic molecules. However, implementation of this energy source in organic synthetic methodologies and in the industrial production of fine chemicals has been challenging. The Photo4Future Innovative Training Network establishes a training network with five beneficiaries from academia and five beneficiaries from industry to tackle the challenges associated with photochemistry in a coherent and comprehensive fashion. In total 13 Early Stage Researchers will be recruited within the Photo4Future network. The network will provide them with opportunities to undertake research with the aim to overcome the current limitations towards the applicability and scalability of photochemical transformations. This will be achieved through a rational design of novel photocatalytic methodologies, improved catalytic systems and innovative photoreactors. Furthermore, the ESRs will be trained in the Photo4Future graduate school, covering training in scientific, personal and complementary skills. All the ESRs will perform two secondments, of which at least one is carried out with an industrial partner. Consequently, the ESRs will have improved career prospects and a higher employability. Due to the high degree of industrial participation, the Photo4Future network will provide an innovation-friendly environment where scientific results can grow and become products or services that will benefit European economies.
A Framework for Identifying Skylines over Incomplete Data

Skyline queries provide a flexible query operator that returns data items (skylines) which are not being dominated by other data items in all dimensions (attributes) of the database. Most of the existing skyline techniques determine the skylines by assuming that the values of dimensions for every data item are available (complete). However, this assumption is not always true particularly for multidimensional database as some values may be missing. The incompleteness of data leads to the loss of the transitivity property of skyline technique and results into failure in test dominance as some data items are incomparable to each other. Furthermore, incompleteness of data influences negatively on the process of finding skylines, leading to high overhead, due to exhaustive pair wise comparisons between the data items. This paper proposed a framework to process skyline queries for incomplete data with the aim of avoiding the issue of cyclic dominance in deriving skylines. The proposed framework for identifying skylines for incomplete data consists of four components, namely: Data Clustering Builder, Group Constructor and Local Skylines Identifier, k-dom Skyline Generator, and Incomplete Skylines Identifier. Including these processes in the proposed framework has optimized the process of identifying skylines in incomplete database by reducing the necessary number of pair wise comparison through eliminating the dominated data items as early as possible before applying the skyline technique.
