Pratique juridique grecque et économie dans la Calabre post-byzantine (XIIe-XIIIe s.)
2014
Fonti recentemente edite conservate nell'Archivio Ducal de Medinaceli consentono di studiare sotto l'aspetto linguistico, sociale ed economico una zona della Calabria meridionale che nel regno normanno-svevo mantenne una popolazione di lingua rito e diritto privato bizantino. Recently published sources preserved in the Archivio Ducal de Medinaceli allow to study a linguistic, social and economic aspect of an area of southern Calabria that in the Norman-Swabian kingdom maintained a population of rite and Byzantine private language. À partir des nouvelles sources, disponibles suite à la publication des actes privés grecs de l’Archivo Ducal de Medinaceli, on étudie ici la société rurale de l…
Calcium Absorption in Health and Disease
1972
Calcium (Ca) metabolism and intestinal Ca absorption have attracted special attention ever since the discovery of vitamin D and the definition of the clinical entities of disturbances of Ca homeostasis in the first three decades of this century. Since then, many details of Ca transport and vitamin D metabolism have accumulated, but only in very recent years have new ideas and findings brought about rapid progress in this field. There is now a startling activity in the investigation of the physiology and pathogenesis of vitamin D and Ca metabolism.
Well-posedness and singularity formation for the Camassa-Holm equation
2006
We prove the well-posedness of Camassa--Holm equation in analytic function spaces both locally and globally in time, and we investigate numerically the phenomenon of singularity formation for particular initial data.
X Chromosome Contribution to the Genetic Architecture of Primary Biliary Cholangitis
2021
Background & aims: Genome-wide association studies in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have failed to find X chromosome (chrX) variants associated with the disease. Here, we specifically explore the chrX contribution to PBC, a sexually dimorphic complex autoimmune disease. Methods: We performed a chrX-wide association study, including genotype data from 5 genome-wide association studies (from Italy, United Kingdom, Canada, China, and Japan; 5244 case patients and 11,875 control individuals). Results: Single-marker association analyses found approximately 100 loci displaying P < 5 × 10-4, with the most significant being a signal within the OTUD5 gene (rs3027490; P = 4.80 × 10-6; odds…
Identification of an effective chemotherapy and DNA damage response inhibitor combination for diffuse large b cell lymphoma
2022
Chemotherapy forms the backbone of treatment for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL); however, <∼20% of tumors are chemoresistant. Inhibitors of the DNA damage response (DDR) show promise as chemosensitizers. We therefore set up an in-vitro screen to identify an optimal chemotherapy-DDR inhibitor (DDRi) combination in a panel of DLBCL cell lines.
Regulon-Specific Control of Transcription Elongation across the Yeast Genome
2009
Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II was often considered an invariant non-regulated process. However, genome-wide studies have shown that transcriptional pausing during elongation is a frequent phenomenon in tightly-regulated metazoan genes. Using a combination of ChIP-on-chip and genomic run-on approaches, we found that the proportion of transcriptionally active RNA polymerase II (active versus total) present throughout the yeast genome is characteristic of some functional gene classes, like those related to ribosomes and mitochondria. This proportion also responds to regulatory stimuli mediated by protein kinase A and, in relation to cytosolic ribosomal-protein genes, it is medi…
Silver Clusters of Five Atoms as Highly Selective Antitumoral Agents Through Irreversible Oxidation of Thiols
2022
Low atomicity clusters present properties dependent on the size, due to the quantum confinement, with well-defined electronic structures and high stability. Here it is shown that Ag5 clusters catalyze the complete oxidation of sulfur to S+6. Ag5 catalytic activity increases with different oxidant species in the order O2 ≪ H2O2 < OH•. Selective oxidation of thiols on the cysteine residues of glutathione and thioredoxin is the primary mechanism human cells have to maintain redox homeostasis. Contingent upon oxidant concentration, Ag5 catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of glutathione and thioredoxin, triggering apoptosis. Modification of the intracellular environment to a more oxidized state…
Genome-Wide Analyses Identifies Known and New Markers Responsible of Chicken Plumage Color
2020
Simple Summary In order to assess sources of variation related to Polverara breed plumage color (black vs. white), we carried out genome-wide analyses to identify the genomic regions involved in this trait. The present work has revealed new candidate genes involved in the phenotypic variability in local chicken populations. These results also contribute insights into the genetic basis for plumage color in poultry, and confirm the great complexity of the mechanisms that control this trait. Abstract Through the development of the high-throughput genotyping arrays, molecular markers and genes related to phenotypic traits have been identified in livestock species. In poultry, plumage color is a…
Genome-wide meta-analysis increases to 71 the number of confirmed Crohn's disease susceptibility loci
2010
We undertook a meta-analysis of six Crohn's disease genome-wide association studies (GWAS) comprising 6,333 affected individuals (cases) and 15,056 controls and followed up the top association signals in 15,694 cases, 14,026 controls and 414 parent-offspring trios. We identified 30 new susceptibility loci meeting genome-wide significance (P < 5 x 10(-8)). A series of in silico analyses highlighted particular genes within these loci and, together with manual curation, implicated functionally interesting candidate genes including SMAD3, ERAP2, IL10, IL2RA, TYK2, FUT2, DNMT3A, DENND1B, BACH2 and TAGAP. Combined with previously confirmed loci, these results identify 71 distinct loci with gen…
Genome-wide analysis reveals the patterns of genetic diversity and population structure of 8 Italian local chicken breeds
2021
The aim of this study was to conduct a genome-wide comparative analysis of 8 local Italian chicken breeds (Ermellinata di Rovigo, Millefiori di Lonigo [PML], Polverara Bianca, Polverara Nera, Padovana, Pepoi [PPP], Robusta Lionata, and Robusta Maculata), all under a conservation plan, to understand their genetic diversity and population structure. A total of 152 animals were analyzed using the Affymetrix Axiom 600 K Chicken Genotyping Array. The levels of genetic diversity were highest and lowest in PML and PPP, respectively. The results of genomic inbreeding based on runs of homozygosity (ROH; FROH) showed marked differences among breeds and ranged from 0.161 (PML) to 0.478 (PPP). Furtherm…
