The lamellar-to-sponge phase transition of fluorescently labelled large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) of the non-ionic surfactant triethylene glycol mono n-decyl ether (C 10 E

The essay focuses on the workers’ privacy, as regulated in art. 4 of the Italian labour protection act (St. lav.) and in the new EU GDPR. The A. analyses the links between the two sets of rules and their combined effect. A specific attention is dedicated to the sanctions against the infringement of the provisions of the abovementioned art. 4. This topic is especially studied with regard to the pos

Background Smaller hippocampal volume has repeatedly been reported in schizophrenia patients Obstetric complications (OCs) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in schizophrenia susceptibility genes have independently been related to hippocampal volume We investigated putative independent and interaction effects of severe hypoxia-related OCs and variation in four hypoxia-regulated sch

ARCA (Archive of Archaeological Contexts in its Spanish acronym) is an on-line database created by the Research Group ATLAS (HUM-694) of the University of Sevilla (Spain). This database includes 2,300 records of archaeological sites located within the autonomous regions of Andalusia and Extremadura. A very significant part of this information (almost 1,500 records) corresponds to the Lands of Ante

Autonomy, agency and freedom has been central concepts in the traditional Western understanding of subjectivity. The myth about the self-contained subject with the inherent capacity of self-fullfilment as long as it only frees itself from external practical constraints and internal self-destructive thoughts is still highly present in our modern society. Even the feminist and post-colonial movement

Abstract in Italian Questo articolo tratta del ruolo importante che il sistema Ghent ed altre caratteristiche delle relazioni industriali in Svezia rivestono nel mantenimento di alti livelli di densità sindacale in Svezia. Il governo di centro-destra, insediatosi in seguito alle elezioni parlamentari nel settembre 2006, nel 2007 ha introdotto o tentato di introdurre modifiche sostanziali nelle ass

The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 allele is the strongest risk factor of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, the fluid concentrations of ApoE and its different isoforms (ApoE2, ApoE3 and ApoE4) in AD patients and among APOE genotypes (APOE epsilon 2, epsilon 3, epsilon 4) remain controversial. Using a novel mass spectrometry-based method, we quantified total ApoE and specific ApoE isof

Overexpression of cyclin E is strongly linked to an aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Unexpectedly, it has been shown that cyclin E overexpression decreases mobility and invasiveness of breast cancer cells. In fact, in a study of 985 breast cancers, cyclin E correlated with less infiltrative growth. This suggests a novel function for cyclin E in breast cancer tumorigenesis

Searching for new prognostic factors, we investigated the influence of cyclin expression on breast cancer prognosis. A total of 273 archival tumor specimens from patients with pT1/pT2 NO breast cancers treated by surgery and local irradiation were immunostained for cyclins E, A and B. Outcome was evaluated as metastasis-free (MFS) and diseasespecific survival (DSS) over a median observation period

The apolipoprotein (apoE) epsilon4 allele was studied in fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), a diagnostic category including the specific disorders Pick's disease and frontal lobe degeneration of non-Alzheimer type (FLD). These dementing diseases have neuronal and synaptic degeneration in common with Alzheimer's disease (AD), for which the presence of the apoE epsilon4 allele is a known risk factor, a

T cells are crucial players in cell-mediated immunity. The specificity of their receptor, the T cell receptor (TCR), is central for the immune system to distinguish foreign from host antigens. Superantigens are bacterial toxins capable of inducing a toxic immune response by cross-linking the TCR and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and circumventing the antigen specificity.
