WIN modulates osteosarcoma MG63 cell migration by inhibiting MMPs activity and adjusting intra- and extra-cellular SPARC differential expression
2014
Invasion of cancer cells into surrounding tissue is an initial step in tumor metastasis. This event, which requires migration of cancer cells and attachment to extracellular matrix (ECM), is regulated by elements of the local microenvironment, including ECM architecture. After having demonstrated the ability of the synthetic cannabinoid WIN55,512 to induce osteosarcoma MG63 cell death (1), we studied the effects of WIN on MG63 cell migration. Wound healing assay was performed to measure the ability of cells to migrate and fill the gap obtained by physical disruption of cell monolayer (2). We observed a significant delay in wound closure in 5 M WIN treated cells compared to untreated cells …
Heat Shock Protein in embryonic and adult submandibular salivary glands in healthy and tumorigenic tissues
2020
Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) role in development and function of human salivary glands have not yet been measured or mapped in detail, in particular, HSP60 role is unknown. They can be potential biomarkers for glandular diseases and malignancies. We present our initial findings on HSP10, HSP27, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 distribution in human submandibular salivary glands (SMG) at various stages of development and tumorigenesis.

La tutela dei monumenti in Sicilia durante gli anni della guerra
2011
Il contributo affronta le distruzioni e le ricostruzioni in Sicilia tra il 1943 e il 1945. A un mese dall’entrata in guerra, il ministro dell’istruzione Bottai firma la legge n. 10141 del 6 luglio 1940 sulla protezione delle cose di interesse artistico, storico, bibliografico e culturale della Nazione in caso di guerra. La Legge diviene lo strumento grazie al quale i soprintendenti sono autorizzati ad attuare le necessarie misure difensive per la protezione dei monumenti.
An Experimental Comparison between an Ironless and a Traditional Permanent Magnet Linear Generator for Wave Energy Conversion
2022
Permanent Magnet Linear Generators (PMLGs) are currently being studied for sea wave energy harvesting. Typically, a PMLG consists of an iron-made armature and a moving translator. The permanent magnets adoption produces parasitic effects, such as cogging force, and the machine weight increment. A solution could be the adoption of an ironless configuration, accepting a power density reduction. This paper investigates the use of ironless PMLGs in sea wave energy conversion systems by an experimental comparative analysis between an iron PMLG prototype and an ironless PMLG prototype, which share the same geometry. The main electrical and mechanical parameters (resistance, mass, and magnetic fie…
L’esilio al femminile. Neue Frauen oltreoceano
2020
The essay offers an overview of the experience of exile of a group of German and Austrian female writers (Adrienne Thomas, Irmgard Keun, Victoria Wolff, Gina Kaus and Vicki Baum), who had been a symbol of the so–called Neue Frau in the Twenties and emigrated after the rise of National Socialism. From an autobiographical point of view the reconstruction of their experience of exile, which sometimes include common stations (Vienna, Paris, the crossing of the Atlantic, Hollywood and, in some cases, the return to Europe), allows to compare their careers and to find out breaks and possible lines of continuity in the process of their literary affirmation and social emancipation which had begun in…

La Sicilia e gli alleati. Tra occupazione e Liberazione
2013
«Il periodo dell’occupazione alleata, intenso e unico, si è fissato nella memoria come cesura tra il mondo vecchio e il mondo nuovo. Ma influì solo fino a un certo punto sul modo in cui fu rifondato lo Stato nazionale. La democrazia fu una conquista anche italiana. Pur attraverso un percorso tortuoso, lento, contraddittorio, la politica siciliana riuscì a imboccare quella stessa strada intrapresa dalla classe dirigente italiana, e a costruire un futuro democratico e repubblicano». Il 10 luglio 1943 le armate americane e britanniche sbarcarono in Sicilia. «Chi vide approdare la grande armata – osserva Salvatore Lupo – ebbe l’impressione visiva, spaventosa e affascinante, di una forza irresis…
