Affrontare una malattia grave comporta sempre, e in particolar modo per un minore, uno stress fisico e psichico di grande rilievo. Se da un lato un adulto può possedere risorse di adattamento che gli permettono di far fronte alla malattia, per un bambino la patologia può interferire con la crescita sociale ed emotiva. Per questa ragione, i clinici e la famiglia hanno anche il compito di...

I divorzi e le separazioni sono diventati sempre più frequenti negli ultimi decenni e per questo costituiscono aspetti di grande rilievo anche rispetto ai possibili effetti sulle cure mediche. La conflittualità riguarda non solo le coppie di adulti, ma ha spesso ripercussioni anche sui figli che sono coinvolti, a livello pratico ed emotivo, nella separazione della coppia. Se da un lato il...

Light is a physical phenomenon that is very important to human life, and has been investigated in its nature, behaviour and properties throughout human history although the most impressive improvements in the use of light in human activities, and of course in medicine, began just two centuries ago. However, despite the enormous progress in diagnosis, therapy and surgery to assess health and...

One of the biggest challenges in classical biological control of invasive weeds is predicting the likelihood of success. Ambrosia artemisiifolia, a North American plant species that has become invasive in Europe, causes economic losses due to health problems resulting from its huge amount of highly allergenic pollen and as a weed to agricultural crops resulting from high seed densities. Here...

The transcription factor p53 is a potent tumor suppressor dubbed as the “guardian of the genome” because of its ability to orchestrate protective biological outputs in response to a variety of oncogenic stresses. Mutation and thus inactivation of p53 can be found in 50% of human tumors. The majority are missense mutations located in the DNA binding region. Among them, G245S is known to be...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the aggregation and deposition of Amyloid β (Aβ) oligomers in the brain of patients. Two principal variants of Aβ exist in humans: Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42. The former is the most abundant in the plaques, while the latter is the most toxic species and forms fibrils more rapidly. Interestingly, fibrils of...

To date, different kinds of biosensing elements have been used effectively for environmental monitoring. Microbial cells seem to be well-suited for this task: they are cheap, adaptable to variable field conditions and give a measurable response to a broad number of chemicals. Among different pollutants, heavy metals are still a major problem for the environment. A reasonable starting point...
