    Effects of Alpha Particle and Proton Beam Irradiation as Putative Cross-Talk between A549 Cancer Cells and the Endothelial Cells in a Co-Culture System.

    High-LET ion irradiation is being more and more often used to control tumors in patients. Given that tumors are now considered as complex organs composed of multiple cell types that can influence radiosensitivity, we investigated the effects of proton and alpha particle irradiation on the possible radioprotective cross-talk between cancer and endothelial cells

    Population genetics and dynamics of the black truffle in a man-made truffle field

    The colonization dynamics of the black true in an arti®cial ®eld were assessed through analyses of microsatellite and RAPD markers. The true ®eld was composed of three tree species and mycelial inoculum of three di€erent origins, and was monitored for the ®rst three years of true production. We found very low levels of genetic diversity. Isolation by distance was detected only at the between- tree level. This could be interpreted as local colonization around each tree facilitated by the presence of the tree root system. At the larger spatial scale of the European range, the absence of isolation by distance corroborates the hypothesis of an impact of glaciation on genetic variation, followed by rapid postglaciation demographic expansion. In addition, genetic variation of harvested trues was explained by neither inoculation origin, nor tree species. Our study questions the real impact of man- made inoculation of tree root systems with fungal mycelia

    First results from the INDRA-FAZIA apparatus on isospin diffusion in 58,64^{58,64}Ni+58,64^{58,64}Ni systems at Fermi energies

    International audienceAn investigation of the isospin equilibration process in the reactions 58,64^{58,64}Ni+58,64^{58,64}Ni at two bombarding energies in the Fermi regime (3232\,MeV/nucleon and 5252\,MeV/nucleon) is presented. Data have been acquired during the first experimental campaign of the coupled INDRA-FAZIA apparatus in GANIL. Selecting from peripheral to semi-central collisions, both the neutron content of the quasiprojectile residue and that of the light ejectiles coming from the quasiprojectile evaporation have been used as probes of the dynamical process of isospin diffusion between projectile and target for the asymmetric systems. The isospin transport ratio technique has been employed. The relaxation of the initial isospin imbalance with increasing centrality has been clearly evidenced. The isospin equilibration appears stronger for the reactions at 3232\,MeV/nucleon, as expected due to the longer projectile-target interaction time than at 5252\,MeV/nucleon. Coherent indications of isospin equilibration come from the quasiprojectile residue characteristics and from particles ascribed to the quasiprojectile decay

    An investigation of the isospin equilibration process in the reactions Ni58,64+Ni58,64 at two bombarding energies in the Fermi regime (32 and 52 MeV/nucleon) is presented.
