Microbiological datasets and associated environmental parameters from the French soil quality monitoring network (RMQS) offer an opportunity for long-term and large-scale soil quality monitoring. Soils supply important ecosystem services e.g.

Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation in obesity is linked to white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction. Plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), triggering NF-κB and worsening these disturbances. Previously, we showed that histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) epigenetic modifications affect WAT gene expression in high-fat-diet mice, identifying key pathways in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs).

Brain cancer is considered one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer, including primary tumors, being subdivided into milder forms such as low-grade gliomas and glioblastoma, considered the most aggressive form with higher invasion. Among the hallmarks of glioblastoma, the deregulation of mitochondrial metabolism has not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, the search for mitochondrial biomarkers that can be used as indicators of the progression of this type of cancer is necessary.

Soil health is a key concept in worldwide efforts to reverse soil degradation, but to be used as a tool to improve soils, it must be definable at a policy level and quantifiable in some way. Soil indicators can be used to define soil health and quantify the degree to which soils fulfil expected functions. Indicators are assessed using target and/or threshold values, which define achievable levels of the indicators or functions.
