Journal ArticleDOI
Local overexpression of V1a-vasopressin receptor enhances regeneration in tumor necrosis factor-induced muscle atrophy.
Alessandra Costa,Angelica Toschi,Ivana Murfuni,Laura Pelosi,Gigliola Sica,Sergio Adamo,Bianca Maria Scicchitano +6 more
TL;DR: A novel in vivo role for AVP-dependent pathways is highlighted, which may represent an interesting strategy to counteract muscle decline in aging or in muscular pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathological and Molecular Features of Glioblastoma and Its Peritumoral Tissue
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to recapitulate the pathological features of GBM and of the peritumoral region associated with progression and recurrence and to suggest new immunotherapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of IGF-1 isoforms on muscle growth and sarcopenia.
Francesca Ascenzi,Laura Barberi,Gabriella Dobrowolny,Aline Villa Nova Bacurau,Carmine Nicoletti,Emanuele Rizzuto,Nadia Rosenthal,Bianca Maria Scicchitano,Antonio Musarò +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that only IGF‐1Ea expression promotes a pronounced hypertrophic phenotype in young mice, which is maintained in aged mice, and data suggest that IGF‐ 1 is a promising therapeutic agent in staving off advancing muscle weakness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dedicated Epithelial Recipient Cells Determine Pigmentation Patterns
Lorin Weiner,Rong Han,Bianca Maria Scicchitano,Jian Li,Kiyotaka Hasegawa,Maddalena Grossi,David Lee,Janice L. Brissette +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that patterns ultimately emanate from dedicated pigment-receiving cells, and that recipients provide a cutaneous template or blueprint that instructs melanocytes where to place pigment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-dependent alteration in muscle regeneration: the critical role of tissue niche

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that although the regenerative program can be impaired by the limited proliferative capacity of satellite cells, this limit is not reached during normal aging, and it is more likely that the restricted muscle repair program in aging is presumably due to missing signals that usually render the damaged muscle a permissive environment for regenerative activity.
