The planarian flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea
No full textPlanaria are a group of worms within the phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms). Many species, including Schmidtea mediterranea, have the ability to regenerate their body from small pieces of tissue and are easy to keep in the laboratory, which makes them a prime model system for studying whole-body regeneration
Exclusive J/ψ and ψ(2S) production inppcollisions at √<span style="text-decoration:overline">s</span>=7 TeV
No full textExclusive J/ψ and ψ (2S) vector meson production has been observed in the
dimuon channel using the LHCb detector. The cross-section times branching
fractions to two muons with pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 are measured
to be
σpp→J/ψ (→μ
+μ
−)
(2.0 < ημ
± < 4.5) = 307±21±36 pb,
σpp→ψ (2S)(→μ
+μ
−)
(2.0 < ημ
± < 4.5) = 7.8±1.3±1.0 pb,
where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
The measurements are found to be in good agreement with results from
previous experiments and theoretical predictions. The J/ψ photoproduction
cross-section has been measured as a function of the photon-proton centre-ofmass energy. The results are consistent with measurements obtained at HERA
and confirm a similar power law behaviour for the photoproduction crosssection
Disability and Social Security Reforms: The French Case
No full textThe French pattern of early transitions out of employment is basically explained by the low age at “normal” retirement and by the importance of transitions through unemployment insurance and early-retirement schemes before access to normal retirement. These routes have exempted French workers from massively relying on disability motives for early exits, contrarily to the situation that prevails in some other countries where normal ages are high, unemployment benefits low and early-retirement schemes almost non-existent. Yet the role of disability remains interesting to examine in the French case, at least for prospective reasons in a context of decreasing generosity of other programs. The study of the past reforms of the pension system underlines that disability routes have often acted as a substitute to other retirement routes. Changes in the claiming of invalidity benefits seem to match changes in pension schemes or controls more than changes in such health indicators as the mortality rates. However, our results suggest that increases in average health levels over the past two decades have come along with increased disparities. In that context, less generous pensions may induce an increase in the claiming of invalidity benefits partly because of substitution effects, but also because the share of people with poor health increases.
Conserved Innate immunity components limit transgene expression in adult planarians
No full textThe planarian flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea has become a powerful model for studying whole-body regeneration, tissue patterning, and stem cell regulation. Yet, the absence of reliable tools for transgene expression still limits the elucidation of molecular mechanisms in in this system. Here, we establish a proof-of-principle system for plasmid-based expression of NanoLuciferase (NanoLuc) in S. mediterranea, employing commercially available transfection reagents and a panel of endogenous promoter sequences. Despite successful delivery, reporter expression remained low and transient. To identify biological barriers to robust transgene expression, we investigated the role of innate immune pathways. Candidate gene searches and biochemical pull-down of cytoplasmic DNA coupled to mass spectrometry identified several planarian homologs of conserved immune regulators and putative DNA sensors. Through RNAi screening of conserved innate immune components, we uncover roles for S. mediterranea homologs of Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and Macrophage Mannose Receptor 1 (MRC1) as potent repressors of transgene expression. Transcriptomic and functional analyses further implicate TBK1 in regulating broad innate immune and stress-response programs, akin to its vertebrate function. Together, our findings demonstrate that innate immune signaling limits transgene expression in S. mediterranea and suggest that modulating these pathways may be key to enabling stable and efficient genetic manipulation in planarians
