The Mediterranean offers a unique opportunity to study the driving forces of tectonic
deformation within a complex mobile belt. Lithospheric dynamics are affected by slab …

Lipid second messengers, particularly those derived from the polyphosphoinositide
metabolism, play a pivotal role in multiple cell signaling networks. Phosphoinositide 3 …

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt (protein kinase B, PKB)/mammalian Target Of
Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway plays a critical role in many cellular functions which …

Transposable elements (TEs) and DNA repeats are commonly targeted by DNA and histone
methylation to achieve epigenetic gene silencing. We isolated mutations in two Arabidopsis …

We studied the nucleation and growth of cataclastic fault cores from fractured damage zones
in extensional and strike-slip fault zones in carbonate rocks. Analysed fault zones have …

Particle size distributions of cataclastic rocks influence the mechanical and fluid flow
behaviour of fault zones. Available data from natural cataclastic rocks are still controversial …

It is now well established that the reduced capacity of tumor cells of undergoing cell death
through apoptosis plays a key role both in the pathogenesis of cancer and in therapeutic …

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a debilitating chronic inflammatory skin disease
characterized by chronic abscess formation and development of multiple draining sinus …

Calabria represents an ideal site to analyze the topography of a subduction zone as it is
located on top of a narrow active Wadati‐Benioff zone and shows evidence of rapid uplift …

Solidified frictional melts, or pseudotachylytes, remain the only unambiguous indicator of
seismic slip in the geological record. However, pseudotachylytes form at> 5 km depth, and …
