Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Acetaldehyde Intoxication and Withdrawal on NPY Expression: Focus on Endocannabinoidergic System Involvement
Fulvio Plescia,Anna Brancato,Rosa Anna Maria Marino,Carlotta Vita,Michele Navarra,Carla Cannizzaro +5 more
TL;DR: Complex plastic changes take place in NPY system during ACD intoxication and subsequent withdrawal in rat hippocampal formation and NAcc, showing that the pharmacological inhibition of CB1 signaling could counteract the neurochemical imbalance associated with ACD, and alcohol withdrawal, likely boosting the setting up of homeostatic functional recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Citrus bergamia essential oil: from basic research to clinical application
TL;DR: Clinical studies on the therapeutic applications of BEO exclusively focus on the field of aromatherapy, suggesting that its use can be useful for reducing anxiety and stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticancer activity of liposomal bergamot essential oil (BEO) on human neuroblastoma cells
Christian Celia,Elena Trapasso,Marcello Locatelli,Michele Navarra,Cinzia Anna Ventura,Joy Wolfram,Maria Carafa,Valeria Maria Morittu,Domenico Britti,Luisa Di Marzio,Donatella Paolino +10 more
TL;DR: This work formulated BEO liposomes that improved the water solubility of the phytocomponents and increased their anticancer activity in vitro against human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, and the results warrant further investigation of BEOliposomes for in vivo applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cranberry and Recurrent Cystitis: More than Marketing?
Salvatore Micali,Gianmarco Isgrò,Giampaolo Bianchi,N. Miceli,Gioacchino Calapai,Michele Navarra +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of clinical studies and evaluation of the cranberry efficacy/safety ratio in the prevention of UTIs strongly support the use of cranberry in the prophylaxis of recurrent UTIs in young and middle-aged women, and evidence of its clinical use among other patients remains controversial.
Journal ArticleDOI
gp120 induces cell death in human neuroblastoma cells through the CXCR4 and CCR5 chemokine receptors.
M V Catani,Maria Tiziana Corasaniti,Michele Navarra,Giuseppe Nisticò,Alessandro Finazzi-Agrò,Gerry Melino +5 more
TL;DR: In this study, insight is gained into the mechanism(s) of neurotoxicity elicited by the viral glycoprotein using the human neuroblastoma CHP100 cell line as an experimental model and suggests that the neuronal injury observed in HIV‐1 infection could be due to direct (or indirect) interactions between the viral protein gp120 and chemokine and/or NMDA receptors.
