[Integrative medicine for patients suffering from addictive disorders alongside other pathologies in general practice].

People suffering from substance use disorders frequently suffer from concomitant affections such as other addictions, psychiatric, somatic or social problems. Clarifying objectives and priorities with the patient and coordination of care are the priority in the follow up suggested in this article. We present a clinical example in which the modality of care is adapted depending on the evolution of the patient's needs.

Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (mcm10) regulates hematopoietic stem cell emergence in the zebrafish embryo.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) guarantee the continuous supply of all blood lineages during life. In response to stress, HSCs are capable of extensive proliferative expansion, whereas in steady state, HSCs largely remain in a quiescent state to prevent their exhaustion. DNA replication is a very complex process, where many factors need to exert their functions in a perfectly concerted manner.

Hapln1b, a central organizer of the ECM, modulates kit signaling to control developmental hematopoiesis in zebrafish.

During early vertebrate development, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are produced in hemogenic endothelium located in the dorsal aorta, before they migrate to a transient niche where they expand to the fetal liver and the caudal hematopoietic tissue, in mammals and zebrafish, respectively. In zebrafish, previous studies have shown that the extracellular matrix (ECM) around the aorta must be degraded to enable HSPCs to leave the aortic floor and reach blood circulation. However, the role of the ECM components in HSPC specification has never been addressed.

Oncostatin M and Kit-Ligand Control Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fate during Zebrafish Embryogenesis.

Understanding the molecular pathways controlling hematopoietic stem cell specification and expansion is a necessary milestone to perform regenerative medicine. Here, we used the zebrafish model to study the role of the ckit signaling pathway in this process. We show the importance of kitb/kitlgb signaling in the specification and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), in the hemogenic endothelium and caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT), respectively.
