Polymer-based drug delivery systems: a study on micro and nanoparticles as carriers for bioactive molecules
(2019-04-18)The works presented in this book are the result of the research carried out by the candidate, Luca Scrivano, during his 3 years Ph.D. at the Department of Pharmacy, Health and Nutritional Sciences of the University of ... -
Profilo tossicologico dell’Olio Essenziale di Bergamotto (Citrus Bergamia, Risso) in vitro e caratterizzazione dei meccanismi coinvolti
(2011-11-28)L’utilizzo di prodotti contenenti estratti vegetali, compresi gli oli essenziali, è ampiamente diffuso nell’industria cosmetica, alimentare e farmaceutica; tuttavia, i meccanismi alla base dei loro effetti risultano ... -
Relevance of nuclear IRS-1 in breast cancer
(2013-10-23)Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), one of the major molecules transmitting signals from the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors, has been implicated in breast cancer. Recently, data obtained in different ... -
Role of ERalpha/NOTCH4 axis in sustaining stemness in breast cancer cells
(2018-02-27)Early detection and new therapeutic strategies have improved breast cancer patient outcome and survival rates in the last years. However, breast cancer still remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among ... -
Role of PPARy in the complex interplay between brest cancer cells and tumor microenvironment
(2019-03-21)Stromal Derived Factor-1α (SDF-1α) and its cognate receptor CXCR4 play a key role in mediating breast cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Therefore, drugs able to inhibit CXCR4 activation may add critical tools to reduce ... -
Ruolo del sistema endocannabinoide nei meccanismi di neuroprotezione da 17β-estradiolo in un modello sperimentale di ischemia cerebrale focale
(2013-10-28)In questo studio sono stati determinati i livelli endogeni dell’endocannabinoide finora meglio caratterizzato, anandamide (AEA) e l’attività degli enzimi responsabili, rispettivamente, della sua sintesi e degradazione, ... -
Ruolo di iASPP nella regolazione del Mismatch repair in melanoma
(2014-05-22)Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive malignancy accounting for 4% of skin cancers but 80% of all skin-cancer related deaths. Its incidence is rapidly rising and advanced disease is notoriously treatment-resistant. The role ... -
Stimulatory actions of IGF-I are mediated by IGF-IR cross-talk with GPER and DDR1 in mesothelioma and lung cancer cells
(2017-06-12)Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)/IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) system has been largely involved in the pathogenesis and development of various tumors. We have previously demonstrated that IGF-IR cooperates with the G-protein ... -
Stromal cells in breast cancer microenvironment: molecular mechanisms involved in tumor progression and potential therapeutic targets
(Università della Calabria, 2021-03-26)Stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play an important role in breast cancer progression, metastasis and therapeutic outcome. Among stromal cells, Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells ... -
Study of antimicrobial and anticancer activity of new synthetic and natural tools
(2017-06-12)Infectious diseases and cancer are the two disease groups that representing the major cause of death worldwide. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance is the biggest threat in the first case; in fact, new resistance ... -
Study of autophagic and epigenetic mechanisms in experimental models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain for the identification of new pharmacological targets
(2013-11-28)Pain is defined by IASP as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” (IASP, 2011). While physiological pain is like a warning ... -
Study of the expression of a Small Leucin-Rich Proteoglycan, Asporin, in normal human osteoblasts and regulation by breast cancer cells
(2014-11-17)Asporin (ASPN) is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the Small Leucine Rich Repeat proteoglycan (SLRP) family. Asporin is abundantly expressed in the articular cartilage of individuals with osteoarthritis. ...
