Normalization of sphingomyelin levels by 2-hydroxyoleic acid induces autophagic cell death of SF767 cancer cells
2012
The very high mortality rate of gliomas reflects the unmet therapeutic need associated with this type of brain tumor. We have discovered that the plasma membrane fulfills a critical role in the propagation of tumorigenic signals, whereby changes in membrane lipid content can either activate or silence relevant pathways. We have designed a synthetic fatty acid, 2-hydroxyoleic acid (2OHOA), that specifically activates sphingomyelin synthase (SGMS), thereby modifying the lipid content of cancer cell membranes and restoring lipid levels to those found in normal cells. In reverting, the structure of the membrane by activating SGMS, 2OHOA inhibits the RAS-MAPK pathway, which in turn fails to acti…
Le discours du fou dans le récit romantique européen (Allemagne, France, Russie)
2012
The thesis studies the linguistics, philosophy and aesthetics of literary language of the madman in the Romantic era. It focuses on The Devil's Elixirs (Hoffmann, 1815),The Crumb Fairy (Nodier, 1832), The Diary of a Madman(Gogol, 1835), The Sylph(Odoevsky, 1837) and Aurelia(Nerval, 1855). Other narratives are more promptly summoned, as The Night Watches(Bonaventura, 1804) or Louis Lambert(Balzac, 1832).The madman is a problematic being: he is both unhealthy and inhabited by a divine inspiration. This paradox finds a new relevance in the first half of the nineteenth century. On the one hand, the development of Alienism tends to define mental pathologies from a medical point of view. On the o…

Shame and Desire: A Reading of Gozzano’s La Signorina Felicita
2012
La lettura del poemetto La signorina Felicita studia il nesso tra vergogna e desiderio come accesso privilegiato alla poesia di Gozzano, se non in generale alla cultura poetica del primo Novecento. L’analisi dei suoi nuclei tematici (il personaggio di Felicita, Villa Amarena e gli oggetti che la popolano, il ‘coro borghese’ che condivide questo spazio con i due protagonisti) e della sua genealogia letteraria (Jammes e Nerval in particolare), condotta in una prospettiva formale e psicanalitica, conduce a identificare le condizioni di coesistenza tra vergogna e desiderio, e il ruolo che gioca la forma poetica come sostituto dell’Oggetto.
