    Between promise and practice: Exploring the politics of urban food strategies in European cities

    No full text
    Over the last decade, in cities and city‐regions around the world there has been a multiplication of ad hoc policies seeking for a transformation of the urban food systems. This thesis seek to understand the specific European phenomenon of urban food strategies (UFSs), which can be identified as a broad category of efforts by municipalities to improve food quality, access or distribution in order to pursue sustainability and the general wellbeing of the population. Presented alongside narratives of participation, social and environmental justice, active citizenship and the ‘greening’ of the food system, UFSs have been implicitly identified as an “alternative” to the “neoliberal” forces operating in the food system and urban governance. This thesis seeks to fill the knowledge gap surrounding UFSs’ definition, diffusion and content, as well as to illuminate these two labels in order to explore how “alternative” notions around food have been incorporated in institutional urban settings. Throughout the empirical cases of this thesis, the author inquire into discrepancies between what UFSs are believed to be in political and academic contexts and how they become manifest in contemporary urban settings

    Role of yUbp8 in Mitochondria and Hypoxia Entangles the Finding of Human Ortholog Usp22 in the Glioblastoma Pseudo-Palisade Microlayer

    KAT Gcn5 and DUB Ubp8 are required for respiration and mitochondria functions in budding yeast, and in this study we show that loss of respiratory activity is acquired over time. Interestingly, we show that absence of Ubp8 allows cells to grow in hypoxic conditions with altered mitophagy. Comparatively, the aggressive glioblastoma (GBM) multiforme tumor shows survival mechanisms able to overcome hypoxia in the brain. Starting from yeast and our findings on the role of Ubp8 in hypoxia, we extended our analysis to the human ortholog and signature cancer gene Usp22 in glioblastoma tumor specimens. Here we demonstrate that Usp22 is localized and overexpressed in the pseudo-palisade tissue around the necrotic area of the tumor. In addition, Usp22 colocalizes with the mitophagy marker Parkin, indicating a link with mitochondria function in GBM. Collectively, this evidence suggests that altered expression of Usp22 might provide a way for tumor cells to survive in hypoxic conditions, allowing the escape of cells from the necrotic area toward vascularized tissues. Collectively, our experimental data suggest a model for a possible mechanism of uncontrolled proliferation and invasion in glioblastoma
