In Leishmania the glutathione/glutathione reductase eukaryotic redox sys-tem is replaced by the unique trypanothione/trypanothione reductase (TR) system. In vitro, silver is a more effective TR inhibitor than antimony, the first line drug against leishmaniasis in most endemic countries, and its mechanism of inhibition is similar to that of Sb(III). In particular, silver binds with high affinity to the catalytic triad Cys52, Cys57, and His461', thereby inhibiting TR. Here, Ag(0) activity was tested ...

Studies have reported alarmingly high rates of traumatic experiences for refugee populations. While nearly all refugees experienced trauma in their country of origin, a vast majority of those seeking protection abroad also face (extreme) violence during their journeys and once in the country of destination. By concentrating on the migratory experiences of about 300 unaccompanied minors that we approached in Libya, Italy, Greece, and Belgium, this article analyses how different forms of violence are ...

This paper examines digital inclusion and equity in international higher education with particular focus on Global South-North Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Practice examples, bringing together students and academics in Brazil, South Africa, and the UK, are used to consider how COIL is being integrated into higher education curricula to interrupt western hegemony and open up spaces in which “otherwise” ways of knowing, being, relating and expressing can thrive. We consider COIL ...

A total of 66 Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) isolated from 2013 to 2018 in a small-scale meat processing plant and a dairy facility of Central Italy were studied. Whole Genome Sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to assess the genetic relationships between the strains and investigate persistence and virulence abilities. The biofilm forming-ability was assessed in vitro. Cluster analysis grouped the Lm from the meat plant into three main clusters: two of them, both belonging to CC9, persisted ...

Pseudo‐nitzschia delicatissima (Cleve) Heiden is a very common pennate planktonic diatom found in temperate marine waters, where it is often responsible for blooms. Recently, three distinct internal transcribed spacer types have been recorded during a P. delicatissima bloom in the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea, Italy), which suggests the existence of cryptic diversity. We carried out mating experiments with clonal strains belonging to the most abundant internal transcribed spacer type. Pseudo‐ ...

We report the whole-genome sequence of a Listeria monocytogenes strain isolated from a child in central Italy. Interestingly, the sequence showed a difference of only 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a strain responsible for a severe listeriosis outbreak that occurred between January 2015 and March 2016 in the same region.

We compared the immunoexpression of 5 myoepithelial cell (MEC) markers (alpha-smooth-muscle actin, calponin, h-caldesmon, vimentin, and S-100-protein) using 16 pleomorphic adenomas (PA), 15 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC), and 3 epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas (EMC) of salivary glands. The alpha-smooth-muscle actin was useful for identification of MECs, especially in cribriform and tubular ACC, followed by EMC. Calponin was similar to alpha-smooth-muscle actin, except for polygonal and plasmacytoid ...

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is an enzyme involved in signaling and repair of DNA single strand breaks. PARP-1 employs NAD+ to modify substrate proteins via the attachment of poly(ADP-ribose) chains. PARP-1 is a well established target in oncology, as testified by the number of marketed drugs (e.g., Lynparza, Rubraca, Zejula, and Talzenna) used for the treatment of ovarian, breast, and prostate tumors. Efforts in investigating an uncharted region of the previously identified isoindolinone ...

The genus Pseudo-nitzschia includes several species capable of producing domoic acid, the causative agent of Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning. Some of these species have been recorded frequently in the Gulf of Naples. For one of the species, P. multistriata, which has been recurrently found in our sampling area since 1995, this is the first report for European waters. Here we provide further details on the fine structure of this species. Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata was the only one found to produce ...

Morphological investigations of motile cells and cysts of a small dinoflagellate (strain CCMP 2088) isolated from Canadian Arctic waters were carried out under both light and scanning electron microscopy. This species strongly resembled Polarella glacialis (strain CCMP 1383), which up to now was known only from Antarctic sea ice. The photosynthetic pigment composition of strain CCMP 2088 is typical of dinoflagellates, with peridinin as a major accessory pigment. Phylogenetic relationships between ...
