Inducible galectins are expressed in the inflamed pharynx of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis

2011

Although ascidians belong to a key group in chordate phylogenesis, amino acid sequences of Ciona intestinalis galectin-CRDs (CiLgals-a and -b) have been retained too divergent from vertebrate galectins. In the present paper, to contribute in disclosing Bi-CRD galectin evolution a novel attempt was carried out on CiLgals-a and -b CRDs phylogenetic analysis, and their involvement in ascidian inflammatory responses was shown. CiLgals resulted aligned with Bi-CRD galectins from vertebrates (Xenopus tropicalis, Gallus gallus, Mus musculus, Homo sapiens), cephalochordates (Branchiostoma floridae), echinoderms (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) and a mono-CRD galectin from the ascidian Clavelina pict…

List of data references on botanical studies of higher plants in Italian wetlands

An analysis of botanical studies of vascular plants from Italian wetlands

2022

Wetlands are essential for life on Earth, but at the same time the most threatened environments due to the gradual alterations associated with climate change and human action. The botanical studies on wetland higher plants carried out in Italy from 1950 until today are analysed in this survey. The 1,265 contributions resulting from this study are analysed from a historical, geographical, and content point of view. Most of the scientific contributions were published in the 1980s and 1990s, often by the same research groups and on a local scale. The predominant research theme is the inventory. Most papers are mainly focused on lakes and rivers. The results of this literature survey point to t…

Probiotics as a Dietary Intervention for Reducing the Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

2019

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an increase in triglyceride fat content of liver cells without excessive consumption of alcohol. It is the most predominant liver disease among different age groups including children and adults. Unhealthy foods such as high fructose and high trans-fatty acids in saturated fat seem to be associated with the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Different clusters of gut microbiota, e.g., Firmicutes, could regulate the energy balance and fat storage. Furthermore, different metabolites of gut microbiota, for example, endogenous short chain fatty acids and ethanol, are associated with increased levels of lipogenesis. Additionally, metabolism of end…

Lucrezio e Carlo Magno. A proposito dell’epistola di Dungal sulle eclissi (MGH Epistolae IV Karolini aevi II, pp. 570-578)

2021

It is generally assumed that Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura disappeared with the end of antiquity and did not reappear until Poggio Bracciolini’s rediscovery (1417). Yet, the oldest and most valuable manuscripts of DRN were copied in the Carolingian age and reflect a high degree of attention to Lucretius’ text and its content. In the present paper, I argue that by studying more carefully the origin and diffusion of Lucretian manuscripts in Carolingian Europe, it is possible to detect an almost unrecognized connection between textual tradition, grammatical erudition, and literary imitatio. In the first section, I offer an overview of the reception of DRN in such representative ninth-century writ…

Estudio crítico de la flora vascular del Lugar de Interés Comunitario "Muela de Cortes y Caroche" (Valencia). Bases para su gestión y conservación

2014

Se realiza un estudio de la flora vascular del Lugar de Interés Comunitario (LIC) Muela de Cortes y el Caroche (Valencia, España). El objetivo general de este trabajo es el conocimiento de los táxones presentes en este territorio y la compilación de la información referente a su presencia en la zona. Como objetivos concretos, se destaca: 1) la búsqueda y selección de áreas de interés para la conservación por la presencia de especies de elevado valor en el conjunto de la flora valenciana, bien por su rareza, endemicidad o grado de amenaza; 2) el estudio y búsqueda exhaustiva de pliegos testigo en los diferentes herbarios oficiales nacionales y extranjeros que conservan plantas recolectadas e…

Conspectus of Italian Selaginella (Selaginellaceae), with some typifications

2015

An annotated synonymic inventory of Italian Selaginella taxa, a practical key for their identification and their dot distribution maps are presented, as a result of our work on the Selaginellaceae account for the Flora Critica d'Italia. The names Lycopodium helveticum L. and Selaginella denticulata var. platystachya Hieron. are typified.
