“…Further, we observed that animals receiving multiple dsDNA injections developed pronounced systemic inflammatory response. This prompted us to develop a more straightforward treatment regimen based on the synergistic activity of cyclophosphamide and dsDNA preparations, which would allow complete eradication of established primary Krebs-2 ascites and also be less toxic for the treated animals. …”

First in situ calcite U–Pb dating revealing the past episodes of the 2019 Le Teil Earthquake (France) by Gébelin, Aude, Matonti, Christophe, Larroque, Christophe, Carr, Patrick, Ampuero, Jean-Paul

“…In agreement with relative chronology data based on microstructural observations, our results allow us to define four main tectonic events: A first event from ~90 to 75 interpreted to reflect a thermal subsidence at the regional scale (Ardèche—South-East basin of France), a second event bracketed between ~60 to 50 Ma related to the N–S trending shortening of the South-East basin, a third tectonic event dated from ~40 to 37 Ma that we interpret to reflect the opening of the Gulf of Lion and European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS), and a fourth and final event at ~25 Ma that very likely represents a middle to late stage of the ECRIS. …”
