LGBTI people and health inequalities
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex (LGBTI) people commonly experience a range of health and social inequalities. Such inequalities are unfair, preventable and fundamentally incompatible with public health and human rights principles. This article draws on the European Commission\u2019s Health4LGBTI pilot to highlight some of the inequalities faced by LGBTI people in EU Member States, as well as their fundamental causes in relation to health services. In doing so, we propose that mandatory training for health professionals needs to be considered as one of the main interventional avenues towards reducing the health inequalities experienced by LGBTI people
State-of-the-art study focusing on the health inequalities faced by LGBTI people: State-of-the-Art Synthesis Report (SSR)
This report is a state-of-the-art review study carried out in the context of the European Union
(EU) funded pilot project Health4LGBTI (SANTE/2015/C4/035). The review study focused on
the health inequalities faced by LGBTI people (especially those in vulnerable situations) and
the potential barriers faced by health professionals when providing their care. It brings
together scientific research and grey literature in a way that leads to new insights and
recommendations supported by evidence
Organisation nucléaire et expression des gènes des protéines du lait
L'expression des gènes codant les protéines du lait varie au cours de la gestation/lactation. Elle est notamment régulée par les hormones lactogènes qui induisent une activation de nombreux facteurs de transcription. Outre l'activité de ces facteurs, modulant leurs capacités de liaison à leurs séquences cibles, l'interaction de ces facteurs avec l'ADN est régie par des variations de la structure chromatinienne. Dans le noyau des cellules épithéliales mammaires, l'organisation tridimensionnelle des boucles de chromatine, structures limitées par des régions d'attachement à la matrice nucléaire, est en cours d'analyse. Les principaux composants du lait sont organisés en structures supramoléculaires. Les globules gras sont constitués d'un noyau de triglycérides enveloppé par une membrane tripartite dérivant de différents compartiments cellulaires. Les caséines, protéines majoritaires du lait, forment un agrégat: la micelle de caséines. Leur agrégation progressive dans la voie de sécrétion débute dès le réticulum endoplasmique. Les mésostructures du globule gras et de la micelle restent à préciser. Notre objectif est de progresser dans la connaissance des mécanismes moléculaires et cellulaires qui président à l'élaboration de ces produits du lait

Qualitative research - Focus groups studies with LGBTI people and health professionals: Final overview report on the outcomes of the focus groups
This document reports on Task 2 of the project Health4LGBTI: Reducing health inequalities
experienced by LGBTI people (SANTE/2015/C4/035). This is a pilot project by the European
Commission to increase understanding of how best to reduce specific health inequalities experienced
by lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people. Task 2 sought to map the barriers faced
both by LGBTI people and healthcare professionals (HCPs) in six European Member States (MS), and
support the development of training for healthcare professionals (HCPs)
