Sobre IBD

This course introduces the principles of ecology that enable us to understand how ecosystems function, a prerequisite for understanding the main factors behind their dysfunction. The concept of an ecosystem results from and is presented as an integrated unit with its various abiotic and biotic components. Every living thing is a source of food for another living organism, which constitutes what is known as the trophic chain or food chain, and consists in the transfer of matter and energy from one trophic level to another. Climate change and the intensive use of habitats by mankind are at the root of many environmental upheavals. These disturbances are causing a loss of biodiversity. A number of research studies have demonstrated the negative impact of biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning. The study of ecosystem functioning and the importance of diversity in maintaining ecological processes are taking on new importance.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...
