(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-05-04)The perspective of personalized therapies in recent years is projecting the community towards a rampant hankering for individualization of healthcare. Paramount is the necessity of re-organizing the healthcare services ... -
Opportunità e rischi della longevità. Aspettative presenti e future dal punto di vista epidemiologico, ecologico, medico e sociale, soprattutto sulla base dell’esperienza dei medici
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-06-15)Longevity is considered one of the greatest achievements of modern society. "Staying young forever" seems to be the new trend: Downgrading (i.e. being younger today than at the same age in the past) shows that there are ... -
Application of Artificial Neural Networks to the design and optimization of superhydrophobic coatings
(2021-05-19)Recently, considerable attention has been devoted to developing superhydrophobic surfaces due to their advantageous antimicrobial and self-cleaning properties. While significant effort has been devoted to their fabrication, ... -
Development and Evaluation of Innovative Stationary Phases for Separation of Pharmaceuticals, Metabolites and Biocompounds
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-09-18)Biofluids are typical complex matrices representing a source of potential biomarkers, but often require high demands in sample preparation prior to analysis. With this purpose, several techniques have been developed ... -
Development of a versatile screening platform for the identification of small-molecule ligands for reader proteins of the post-translational methylation
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-06-25)Covalent Post Translational Modifications (PTMs) of histone proteins are introduced and removed by the ‘writer’ and ‘eraser’ enzymes, respectively. These modifications are recognized by highly specific binding domains, ... -
Clinical characterization, genetic screening and genotype-phenotype associations in cerebellar and brainstem congenital defects
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-10-01)Cerebellar and brainstem congenital defects (CBCDs) represent a wide spectrum of malformative disorders resulting from abnormal development of midbrain-hindbrain and characterised by high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. ... -
Interactome analysis of bioactive molecules: optimization of a functional proteomics platform
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-10-24)The identification of natural products (NPs) target proteins is pivotal to understand their mechanism of action, in order to develop molecular probes and/or potential drugs. In the last 15 years, affinity chromatogra ... -
Development of a bioengineered three-dimensional scaffold able to commit stem cells toward tenogenic phenotype
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-06-23)The term tendinopathy is a generic descriptor of tendon disorders. Spontaneous adult tendon healing results in scar tissue formation and fibrosis, with impaired biological and mechanical properties. Adult tendons have ... -
