Réinvestir le saltus dans la pensée agronomique moderne : vers un nouveau front eco-politique ? by Xavier Poux, Jean-Baptiste Narcy, Blandine Ramain

“…In the French context, the Grenelle de l’environnement is being promoting a so-called “green and blue corridor” (“trame verte et bleue”) as a key-reference for spatial planning at different levels. Such corridor should incorporate the above-mentioned agricultural features, forming altogether the semi-natural vegetation (SNV).One could interpret this shift as a come-back of the saltus (from the ancient trilogy ager [= cultivated land], silva [= forested land] and saltus [=between the two formers, open and uncultivated land formed of herbaceous vegetation or low height scrubs]), as the ecological objects aimed at in environmental policies are indeed components of saltus. …”

Embryonic Origins of Cancer: Insights from Double Homeobox 4 Regulation by Bo Fu, Hong Ma, Liang Wang, Zhenhua Guo, Fang Wang, Di Liu, Dongjie Zhang

“…DUX4 is involved in the activation of the zygote genome and then facilitates the establishment of totipotency in pre-implantation embryos, whereas the misexpression of DUX4 is associated with different types of cancer. Taken together, this indicates that DUX4 performs analogous functions in these two processes and connects embryogenesis and tumorigenesis. …”
