Tradition et culte d'Hildegarde
1987
International audience; La tradition d'Hildegarde est diverse. Elle est conservée par quelques monastères, Saint-Arnould de Metz, et d'autres situés en Souabe. L'un de ceux-ci, Kempten, surclassant Saint-Arnould, accapara littéralement le souvenir de Hildegarde à des fins très précises et tenta même de faire reconnaître officiellement sa sainteté vers la fin du XVe siècle. L'affaire échoua. Aussi faut-il dire dès maintenant qu'Hildegarde n'est pas sainte bien qu'elle ait été, dans une zone étroitement délimitée, l'objet d'un culte très réduit qui autorise à la placer parmi les bienheureux. Ce culte doit être considéré comme la conséquence de la tradition d'Hildegarde, que l'on envisagera su…

Functional and structural insights into astacin metallopeptidases
2012
The astacins are a family of multi-domain metallopeptidases with manifold functions in metabolism. They are either secreted or membrane-anchored and are regulated by being synthesized as inactive zymogens and also by colocalizing protein inhibitors. The distinct family members consist of N-terminal signal peptides and pro-segments, zincdependent catalytic domains, further downstream extracellular domains, transmembrane anchors, and cytosolic domains. The catalytic domains of four astacins and the zymogen of one of these have been structurally characterized and shown to comprise compact ~200-residue zinc-dependent moieties divided into an N-terminal and a C-terminal sub-domain by an active-s…
A Primary Evaluation of Potential Small-Molecule Inhibitors of the Astacin Metalloproteinase Ovastacin, a Novel Drug Target in Female Infertility Tre…
2020
Abstract Despite huge progress in hormonal therapy and improved in vitro fertilization methods, the success rates in infertility treatment are still limited. A recently discovered mechanism revealed the interplay between the plasma protein fetuin‐B and the cortical granule‐based proteinase ovastacin to be a novel key mechanism in the regulation of fertilization. Upon sperm–egg fusion, cleavage of a distinct zona pellucida component by ovastacin destroys the sperm receptor, enhances zona robustness, and eventually provides a definitive block against polyspermy. An untimely onset of this zona hardening prior to fertilization would consequently result in infertility. Physiologically, this proc…
Some Philosophical Remarks on the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’
2016
In this paper, I aim at interpreting the project of the encyclical as a sort of paradigmatic turn in the way of conceiving Christian faith. At paragraph 49, it is underlined that a “true ecological approach always becomes a social approach” and this implies the need of hearing “both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor”. In my view, by uniting the two categories of “nature/creation” and “poverty”, the encyclical implicitly builds an ideal bridge between Pope Francis’ paradigmatic turn and that “political turn” invoked by the Catholic theologian J. B. Metz from the end of the sixties through the proposal of a “New Political Theology”. Indeed, the excesses of the neo-liberal paradigm …
Carl Friedrich von Rumohr e il discorso sul restauro nella Germania d'inizio Ottocento
2013
This article investigates Carl Friedrich von Rumohr's (1785-1843) position in the German early Nineteenth-Century restoration discourse and his contacts to the German-native restorer and art dealer Johann («Giovanni») Metzger (1771-1844) in Florence.
Cristianesimo e società post-secolare
2015
Questo volume intende fornire un contributo al dibattito contemporaneo intorno al ruolo pubblico delle religioni. L'analisi si concentra in particolare sul ruolo positivo che il Cristianesimo potrebbe svolgere in quella che Juergen Habermas suggerisce di chiamare società post-secolare.
Religione e razionalità comunicativa. Juergen Habermas e la " Nuova Teologia Politica"
2015
Jürgen Habermas’ recent work is focused on the relationship between reason and faith in what he suggest that we should name post-secular society. Habermas argues that traditional religions such as Christianity can have semantic contents very useful to uphold a moral motivation in order to contrast the instrumental reason of the globalized markets. I will try to show that these recent developments of Habermas’ theories risk to conflict with some elements of his previous approach. As a consequence, I suggest that we carefully look to the critiques that the catholic theologian J. B. Metz made to Habermas’ previous approach. In fact, I argue that Metz’s proposal of a “New Political Theology”, w…
