The carotid body, a neurogenic niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Univ pisa, 2010)
We have described a new population of adult neural stem cells residing in the carotid body, a chemoreceptor organ in the peripheral nervous system. These progenitor cells support neurogenesis in vivo in response to ...

Hypoxia compromises the mitochondrial metabolism of Alzheimer’s disease microglia via HIF1
(Springer, 2021)
Genetic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk factors associate with reduced defensive amyloid β plaque-associated microglia (AβAM), but the contribution of modifiable AD risk factors to microglial dysfunction is unknown. In AD ...

Role of nitric oxide in gene expression regulation during cancer: epigenetic modifications and non-coding RNAs
(MDPI, 2021-06-10)
Nitric oxide (NO) has been identified and described as a dual mediator in cancer according to dose-, time- and compartment-dependent NO generation. The present review addresses the different epigenetic mechanisms, such ...

Extra virgin olive oil improved body weight and insulin sensitivity in high fat diet-induced obese LDLr−/−.Leiden mice without attenuation of steatohepatitis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
Dietary fatty acids play a role in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is associated with insulin resistance (IR). Fatty acid composition is critical for IR and ...

Overexpression of AQP3 Modifies the Cell Cycle and the Proliferation Rate of Mammalian Cells in Culture
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-09-14)
Abnormal AQP3 overexpression in tumor cells of different origins has been reported and a role for this enhanced AQP3 expression in cell proliferation and tumor processess has been indicated. To further understand the role ...

Immunization with α-synuclein/Grp94 reshapes peripheral immunity and suppresses microgliosis in a chronic parkinsonism model
(Wiley, 2018)
Neuroinflammation mediated by chronically activated microglia, largely caused by abnormal accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (αSyn) protein, is known to contribute to the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In ...

miR-200c-3p, miR-222-5p, and miR-512-3p Constitute a Biomarker Signature of Sorafenib Effectiveness in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(MDPI, 2022-08-28)
Background: Sorafenib constitutes a suitable treatment alternative for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in whom atezolizumab + bevacizumab therapy is contraindicated. The aim of the study was the ...

Evaluation of aquaporins in the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
(PLOS, 2021)
Brain aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP4 are involved in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and might participate in the origin of hydrocephalus. Studies have shown alterations of perivascular AQP4 expression in idiopathic ...

Generation of Periventricular Reactive Astrocytes Overexpressing Aquaporin 4 Is Stimulated by Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy
(MDPI AG, 2023-03-15)
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) plays a crucial role in brain water circulation and is considered a therapeutic target in hydrocephalus. Congenital hydrocephalus is associated with a reaction of astrocytes in the periventricular white ...

Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant An in-silico study evaluating spike interactions and immune evasion
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-29)
Background: The fundamentals of the infectivity and immune evasion of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant are not yet fully understood. Here, we carried out an in-silico study analyzing the spike protein, the protein electrostatic ...
