Attività proliferante degli emociti di Ciona intestinalis
2009
La proliferazione è il termine che definisce il processo di crescita delle popolazioni cellulari. Nell’ematopoiesi dei Vertebrati, la cellula staminale trascorre la maggior parte del suo ciclo vitale nello stadio G0 e si divide per produrre il progenitore staminale in grado di proliferare attivamente. In Ciona intestinalis poco si sa circa l’ematopoiesi sebbene, alcuni autori hanno descritto nel faringe zone di proliferazione definite col termine di noduli emopoietici e, per gli emociti cosiddetti linfocito-like, un’attività proliferativa in seguito a stimolazione. In questo lavoro viene riportata l’attività proliferante degli emociti circolanti. Gli emociti sono stati caratterizzati utiliz…

Ciona robusta macrophage migration inhibitory factor (Mif1 and Mif2) genes are differentially regulated in the lipopolysaccharide-challenged pharynx
2023
The effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on Mif (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) gene expression in the pharynx (haemapoetic tissue) of Ciona robusta were investigated using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and in situ hybridisation (ISH). To verify the induction of an inflammatory response in the pharynx, a qRT-PCR analysis was performed to evaluate the change in the expression of proinflammatory marker genes such as Mbl, Ptx-like, Tnf-α and Nf-kb, which were shown to be upregulated 1 h post LPS challenge. The change in the expression of the two Mif paralogs in the pharynx was assessed before and after stimulation, and qRTPCR and ISH results showed that, although Mif…

¿Qué conduce a un citricultor a ser "orgánico"? Evidencia empírica a partir de la citricultura española
2012
Organic farming is increasing its share of total world food output and receiving grow-ing support from policymakers concerned with agricultural sustainability issues. This paper studies the characteristics of citrus farmers in the Spanish region of Valencia that affect their probability of becoming organic farmers. A fair understanding of these characteristics may help policymakers improve the design of agricultural policies aimed at supporting organic citrus practices. As regards the methodology, a probit model is estimated with information from a sample of conventional and organic citrus farmers obtained from a survey designed for a larger research project aimed at analysing Valencian cit…
