Mycorrhizal networks: des liaisons dangereuses?
Mycorrhizal associations, by which most land plants receive mineral nutrition, are diffuse and often non-specific. A common mycorrhizal network is formed when fungal mycelia colonize and link together the roots of two or more plants, sometimes of different species. Here, we discuss recent work showing how, under realistic ecological conditions, such networks can affect the physiology and ecolog...
متن کاملHsp60 and human aging: Les liaisons dangereuses.
Stressors can cause abnormal intracellular accumulation of Hsp60 and its localization in extramitochondrial sites, secretion, and circulation, with immune system activation. Dysfunction of chaperones associated with their quantitative and qualitative decline with aging (chaperonopathies of aging) characterizes senescence and is a potential causal factor in the physiological deterioration that o...
متن کاملLiaisons Dangereuses: Increasing Connectivity, Risk Sharing, and Systemic Risk
We characterize the evolution over time of a credit network as a system of coupled stochastic processes, each one of which describes the dynamics of individual financial robustness. The coupling comes from the connectivity of the network, since each agents’ financial robustness is associated with the financial robustness of the partners through risk sharing, distress propagation and the bankrup...
متن کاملLes liaisons dangereuses: immunological synapse formation in animals and plants.
The immunological synapse in vertebrates describes a specialized junction between a T cell and a target cell, enabling execution of immune responses through focal secretion. Recent insights in the plant immune system suggest that plant cells assemble a pathogen-inducible machinery at the cell surface that shares several features with the immunological synapse. Apparent mechanistic commonalities...
متن کاملThe endothelin system in pulmonary and renal vasculopathy: les liaisons dangereuses.
Endothelial cells regulate vascular tone largely by the actions of endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor, with effects that are dependent on the receptors to which it binds as well as their location. Endothelin-1 dysregulation is implicated in pathological conditions, including those of the pulmonary vasculature and the kidney. In this review, we describe the physiology and act...
