Protective Effect of Cyclically Pressurized Solid⁻Liquid Extraction Polyphenols from Grape Pomace on Oxidative Endothelial Cell Death.
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this work is the evaluation of a green extraction technology to exploit winery waste byproducts. Specifically, a solid⁻liquid extraction technology (Naviglio Extractor) was used to obtain polyphenolic antioxidants ...
The march of pluripotent stem cells in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.
(
BMC
, 2018 , Article Review)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Heart failure remains a major contributor to this mortality. Despite major therapeutic advances over the past decades, a ...
Oxidative stress-induced Akt downregulation mediates green tea toxicity towards prostate cancer cells
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Green tea consumption has been shown to possess cancer chemopreventive activity. Polyphenol E (PE) is a widely used standardized green tea extract formulation. This study was designed to investigate the impact of PE on ...
Nose-to-brain delivery of BACE1 siRNA loaded in solid lipid nanoparticles for Alzheimer’s therapy
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract We designed a delivery system to obtain an efficient and optimal nose-to-brain transport of BACE1 siRNA, potentially useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. We selected a cell-penetrating peptide, the short ...
Antioxidant Activity Mediates Pirfenidone Antifibrotic Effects in Human Pulmonary Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Exposed to Sera of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients.
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2018 , Article)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by an exacerbated fibrotic response. Although molecular and cellular determinants involved in the onset and progression of this devastating disease ...
Activation of the pro-oxidant PKC?IIp66Shc Signaling pathway contributes to pericyte dysfunction in skeletal muscles of patients with diabetes with critical limb Ischemia
(
American Diabetes Association Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), foot ulcers, former amputation, and impaired regeneration are independent risk factors for limb amputation in subjects with diabetes. The present work investigates whether and by which mechanism ...

Critical limb ischemia (CLI), foot ulcers, former amputation and impaired regeneration are independent risk factors for limb amputation in diabetic subjects. The present work investigates whether and by which mechanism ...
Metabolic shift toward oxidative phosphorylation in docetaxel resistant prostate cancer cells
(
Impact Journals
, 2016 , Article)
Drug resistance of cancer cells is recognized as the primary cause of failure of chemotherapeutic treatment in most human cancers. Growing evidences support the idea that deregulated cellular metabolism is linked to such ...
Identification of the Main Intermediate Precursor of l-Ergothioneine Biosynthesis in Human Biological Specimens
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
A capillary electrophoresis coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (CE–MS/MS) has been used to make a qualitative determination of hercynine—the main precursor of l-ergothioneine biosynthesis—in some key human biological ...
Strategies to enhance graphic and results interpretation of a regression-based approach for method comparison studies.
(
Future Science Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
To improve the effectiveness of a previous regression-based approach for the assessment of the agreement between different analytical methods, two modifications/integrations to the original scheme by means of log10 ...
