Journal ArticleDOI
Reprogramming cancer stem cells
TL;DR: Reprogramming methods have been progressively refined to be applicable to human cells to increase their efficiency, to obtain a cell population easily suitable for differentiation, and to eliminate the use of viral plasmid, which could be responsible for unwanted side effects when used in personalized medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat-shock pretreatment inhibits sorbitol-induced apoptosis in K562, U937 and HeLa cells
Gabriella Marfe,Bruna Pucci,Luisa De Martino,Filomena Fiorito,Carla Di Stefano,Manuela Indelicato,Michele Aventaggiato,Matteo Antonio Russo,Marco Tafani +8 more
TL;DR: Heat‐shock pretreatment inhibits sorbitol‐induced apoptosis in K562, U937 and HeLa cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putative Receptors for Gravity Sensing in Mammalian Cells: The Effects of Microgravity
Michele Aventaggiato,Federica Barreca,Enza Vernucci,Mariano Bizzarri,Elisabetta Ferretti,Matteo Antonio Russo,Marco Tafani +6 more
TL;DR: The role of mechanosensors in two different conditions: normogravity and microgravity is discussed, emphasizing their emerging role in microgravity and muscle LIM protein (MLP) and sirtuins are proposed as new actors in mechanosensing and signaling transduction under microgravity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene and protein expression of CXCR4 in adult and elderly patients with chronic rhinitis, pharyngitis or sinusitis undergoing thermal water nasal inhalations.
Monica Neri,Luigi Sansone,Luisa Pietrasanta,Aliaksei Kisialiou,Eloisa Cabano,Marina Martini,Matteo Antonio Russo,Donatella Ugolini,Marco Tafani,Stefano Bonassi +9 more
TL;DR: These results confirm the clinical impact of thermal water nasal inhalations on upper respiratory diseases both in adults and elders, and emphasize the role of genes activating tissue repair and inflammatory pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia and Inflammation in Prostate Cancer Progression. Cross-talk with Androgen and Estrogen Receptors and Cancer Stem Cells
Matteo Antonio Russo,L. Ravenna,Laura Pellegrini,Elisa Petrangeli,Luisa Salvatori,Thea Magrone,Massimo Fini,Marco Tafani +7 more
TL;DR: Aim of this review is to present the current knowledge regarding the crucial role, in prostate cancer progression, of a molecular network linking hypoxia, pro-inflammatory response and steroid receptors.
