Journal ArticleDOI
COVID-19 in the heart and the lungs: could we "Notch" the inflammatory storm?
Paola Rizzo,Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega,Francesca Fortini,Luisa Marracino,Claudio Rapezzi,Roberto Ferrari +5 more
TL;DR: The possibility to target Notch signalling to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and interfere with the progression of COVID-19- associated heart and lungs disease is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notch Signaling Regulates Immune Responses in Atherosclerosis.
Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega,Francesca Fortini,Giorgio Aquila,Gianluca Campo,Mauro Vaccarezza,Paola Rizzo +5 more
TL;DR: The role of Notch in modulating immunity in the context of atherosclerosis and whether targeting Notch may represent a therapeutic strategy is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological effects of ticagrelor over clopidogrel in patients with stable coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: In patients with SCAD and COPD undergoing PCI, ticagrelor, as compared to clopidogrel is superior in improving surrogate markers of endothelial function and on-treatment PR.
Journal ArticleDOI
A serum proteome signature to predict mortality in severe COVID-19 patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a small panel of about a dozen proteins were significantly different in abundance between these two groups, and they were used to predict treatment outcome with the aim of predicting treatment outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen receptor β-dependent Notch1 activation protects vascular endothelium against tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced apoptosis.
Francesca Fortini,Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega,Cristiana Caliceti,Giorgio Aquila,Micaela Pannella,Antonio Pannuti,Lucio Miele,Roberto Ferrari,Paola Rizzo +8 more
TL;DR: These findings could be relevant for assessing the efficacy and applicability of menopausal hormone treatment, because they may indicate that in women with impaired Notch signaling, hormone therapy might not effectively protect the endothelium.
