What scope for statistics on the social economy at the international level
Bien que partageant un socle commun, le périmètre statistique de l’économie sociale (ES) varie d’un pays à l’autre. Dans de nombreux pays, l’ES demeure entièrement sous le radar des agences statistiques. Ceci reflète le déploiement historique et progressif de l’ES dans différents contextes nationaux. Des guides ont été développés pour promouvoir et harmoniser les statistiques de différents sous-ensembles de l’ES à l’échelle internationale. Récemm…

ENPP1, an Old Enzyme with New Functions, and Small Molecule Inhibitors—A STING in the Tale of ENPP1
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1) was identified several decades ago as a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with nucleotide pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase enzymatic activities, critical for purinergic signaling. Recently, ENPP1 has emerged as a critical phosphodiesterase that degrades the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) ligand, cyclic GMP–AMP (cGAMP). cGAMP or analogs thereof have emerged as potent immunost…

Based on the results of systematic comparative research in eight European countries (Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK), we identify commonalities and differences. In a three-step analysis, we examine policy changes, effects on the third sector and responses by third sector organization…
