Potential effects of a low molecular weight Fucoidan extracted from brown algae on bone biomaterial osteoconductive properties (2007)

KORB, G, BASSIL, J, BARROUKH, B, WILLIG, C, COLLIEC-JOUAULT, Sylvia, ...

In this work we firstly tested the influence of low molecular weight fucoidan extracted from pheophicae cell wall on bidimensional cultured normal human osteoblasts behaviours. Secondly impregnation...

Browsing repeats in genomes: Pygram and an application to non-coding region analysis (2006)

Durand, Patrick, Mahé, Frédéric, Valin, Anne-Sophie, Nicolas, Jacques

Abstract Background A large number of studies on genome sequences have revealed the major role played by repeated sequences in the structure, function, dynamics and evolution of genomes. In-depth...

GenoLink: a graph-based querying and browsing system for investigating the function of genes and proteins (2006)

Durand, Patrick, Labarre, Laurent, Meil, Alain, Vandenbrouck, Yves, Viari, Alain, ...

Abstract Background A large variety of biological data can be represented by graphs. These graphs can be constructed from heterogeneous data coming from genomic and post-genomic technologies, but...

Fucoidan a sulfated polysaccharide from brown algae is a potent modulator of connective tissue proteolysis (2006)

SENNI, Karim, GUENICHE, Farida, FOUCAULT BERTAUD, Alexandrine, IGONDJO TCHEN, Sylvie, FIORETTI, Florence, COLLIEC-JOUAULT, Sylvia, ...

Fucoidans are sulfated fucosylated polymers from brown algae cell wall that exhibit some heparin/heparan sulfate properties. We previously demonstrated that these polysaccharides were able in vitro...

Pyramid diagram: visualizing the organization of repetitive sequences in genome (2005)

Durand, Patrick

We introduce a new visualization method, the pyramid diagram, or pygram, capable of summarizing the hierarchical organization of repetitive structures in genome sequences. Pygrams improve over...

DISPERSAL IN A PARASITIC WORM AND ITS TWO HOSTS: CONSEQUENCE FOR LOCAL ADAPTATION (2005)

Franck Prugnolle, André Théron, Jean Pierre Pointier, Roula Jabbour-Zahab, Philippe Jarne, Patrick Durand, ...

Characterizing host and parasite population genetic structure and estimating gene flow among populations is essential for understanding coevolutionary interactions between hosts and parasites. We...

Host genotype by parasite genotype interactions underlying the resistance of anopheline mosquitoes to Plasmodium falciparum (2005)

Lambrechts, Louis, Halbert, Jean, Durand, Patrick, Gouagna, Louis C, Koella, Jacob C

Abstract Background Most studies on the resistance of mosquitoes to their malaria parasites focus on the response of a mosquito line or colony against a single parasite genotype. In natural...

TEST OF PANGAMY BY GENETIC ANALYSIS OF SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI PAIRS WITHIN ITS NATURAL MURINE HOST IN GUADELOUPE (2004)

Franck Prugnolle, André Théron, Patrick Durand, Thierry De Meeûs

Mating system plays a determinant role in the maintenance and distribution of genetic variations. It can be assessed indirectly by analyzing the distribution of the genetic variability within...

MORPHOMETRIC AND GENETIC VARIABILITY OF RODENTOLEPIS ASYMMETRICA (HYMENOLEPIDIDAE) FROM THE PYRENEAN MOUNTAINS (2002)

Francis Santalla, Joan Carles Casanova, Patrick Durand, Claude Vaucher, François Renaud, Carlos Feliu

Rodentolepis asymmetrica (Janicki, 1904), is a common hymenolepidid cestode recorded in several vole species (rodents) in the Palearctic. Here, we report a detailed analysis of this species, which...

Recent studies on Schistosoma intercalatum: taxonomic status, puzzling distribution and transmission foci revisited (2001)

Jourdane,Joseph, Southgate,Vaughan R, Pagès,Jean René, Durand,Patrick, Tchuem Tchuenté,Louis Albert

Schistosoma intercalatum, which causes human rectal schistosomiasis in Africa, still presents a great interest for its imprecise taxonomic status and its puzzling distribution in Africa. Two...

GENETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL HETEROGENEITY IN SMALL RODENT WHIPWORMS IN SOUTHWESTERN EUROPE: CHARACTERIZATION OF TRICHURIS MURIS AND DESCRIPTION OF TRICHURIS ARVICOLAE N. SP. (NEMATODA: TRICHURIDAE) (2000)

Carlos Feliu, Marta Spakulová, Juan Carlos Casanova, François Renaud, Serge Morand, Jean Pierrem Hugot, ...

Genetic and morphological variability of whipworms Trichuris Roederer, 1761 (Nematoda: Trichuridae), parasites of small rodents in southwestern Europe, was studied. Isozyme patterns of natural...

Electrophoretic catalogue of commercial fish (1985)

DURAND, Patrick, LANDREIN, Annie, QUERO, Jean-Claude

La qualité d'un produit fait d'abord référence à la notion d'espèces avant tout autre considération afférente à sa qualité nutritionnelle, organoleptique ou marchande. Pour les poissons,...

Agarose gel isoelectric focusing: Use in the determination of fish and shellfish species. (1982)

DURAND, Patrick, LANDREIN, Annie

The electrophoretic study of sarcoplasmic fraction soluble in water or in low ionic strength solutions can be applied to species identification; in this field isoelectric focusing (IEF) gives...

Study of the nitrogenous soluble part of the anchovy after barrel-salting during ripening. (1981)

DURAND, Patrick

Different parameters have been followed regularly at various times of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus ) ripening. Concentration in NaCl and water content as well as values of water activity and pH...
