    Mechanical regulation of nucleocytoplasmic translocation in mesenchymal stem cells: characterization and methods for investigation

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immune-modulatory and tissue-regenerative properties that make them a suitable and promising tool for cell-based therapy application. Since the bio-chemo-mechanical environme...

    Hot Genes in Schizophrenia: How Clinical Datasets Could Help to Refine their Role

    We investigated the effect of a set of SNPs within 5 genes identified by GWASs as possible risk genes for schizophrenia (SCZ) in two independent samples, comprising 176 SCZ patients and 326 controls of Korean ...

    Genetic Variants Within Molecular Targets of Antipsychotic Treatment: Effects on Treatment Response, Schizophrenia Risk, and Psychopathological Features

    Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a common and severe mental disorder. Genetic factors likely play a role in its pathophysiology as well as in treatment response. In the present study, we investigated the effects of seve...

    Modulation of human longevity by SIRT3 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the prospective study “Treviso Longeva (TRELONG)”

    Human sirtuins are seven proteins with deacetylase activity that are emerging as key modulators of basic physiological functions. Some evidence links SIRT3 to longevity in mammals. This study aimed to investig...

    Interleukin-6 plasma level increases with age in an Italian elderly population (“The Treviso Longeva”–Trelong–study) with a sex-specific contribution of rs1800795 polymorphism

    The transcription rate of interleukin-6 (IL-6) can be reduced by the C-allele of a polymorphism (rs1800795) located in the 5′-flanking region of the IL-6 gene (NM_000600), and IL-6 plasma levels increase with ...
