Fabio Marco Casiraghi attended the three year PhD studies with diligence, perseverance and responsibility. He has shown great interest in the topics addressed demonstrating ability in critical analysis towards the issues faced during the research activities. He has acquired a very good knowledge of the eco-physiological basis inherent the issue studied as well as the physiological and biochemical techniques for their study. He has independently set collaborations with other research groups in order to investigate specific aspects of the research, thus acquiring new analytical techniques. He spent a short period at the Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Alimentari e Agro-ambientali – Università di Pisa – Italy under the supervision of Prof. Lucia Guidi applying the in vivo determination of chloropyll fluorescence, gas exchange measurements and in vivo determination of photorespiration and abroad at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (EEAD-CSIC) - Estación Experimental de Aula Dei, Zaragoza (ES) under the supervision of Dr. Javier Abadìa, where he try to perform the Proteomic characterization of peroxisome and mitochondria. Therefore I express an excellent opinion regarding the work carried out by Fabio Marco Casiraghi. 6 to my parents, who give me my roots to Maria Grazia, who give me my wings… 7 ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plants as it takes part in major metabolic pathways such as photosynthesis and respiration and is linked to many enzymes that accomplish many other cellular functions (DNA synthesis, nitrogen fixation, hormone production). Fe deficiency reduces crop yields worldwide but particularly in plants grown on calcareous soils, which represent almost the 30% of the earth land surface.

One area that contains a high amount is the input center of the basal ganglia: the striatum. Environmental enrichment was used to examine potential changes in morphology of striatal cells of mice with (ZnT3 wildtype) and without (ZnT3 knockout) the zinc transporter (ZnT3) necessary to load zinc into vesicles. No changes were found in dendritic length for any regions of the striatum. However, all regions of the striatum showed an increase in spine density in both genotypes, with enriched ZnT3 KO mice having a greater increase in the nucleus accumbens region.

Here we present data revealing the distribution of zinc ions and the co-localization of zinc transporter 3 (ZnT3) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in crush-operated sciatic nerves and lumbar sympathetic ganglia of mice, using zinc selenide autometallography (ZnSeAMG ) and ZnT3 immuno¯uorescence combined with confocal scanning microscopy, respectively. Six hours after the crush operation, ZnSeAMG grains and ZnT3 immunoreactivity were predominantly present in a subpopulation of thin unmyelinated sciatic nerve axons. In order to identify the type(s) of ZEN axons involved, double labeling with ZnT3 and (1) TH, (2) vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), (3) calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and (4) neuropeptide Y (NPY) was performed. Confocal microscopic observations showed that ZnT3 was located in a subpopulation of sciatic axons in distended parts proximal and distal to the crush site. Most, if not all, ZnT3-positive axons contained TH immuno¯uorescence, a few showed co-localization of ZnT3 and VAChT with very weak immunostaining, while no congruence was observed between ZnT3 and CGRP or NPY.

Amyloidogenic peptides have indicated their multiple faces on formation, aggregation, and accumulation that portray the complexity of the intrinsically disordered protein stemming from their convoluted structure and heterogeneous nature. Although the latest research suggests oligomeric forms of amyloidogenic peptides as toxic species towards neurodegeneration, their direct involvements in the pathologies and the corresponding mechanistic details remain rudimentary. Therefore, novel chemical approaches to modify amyloidogenic peptides at the molecular level would be useful in advancing our comprehension of those aspects and the subject. In Chapter 1, we briefly introduce outline and discuss possible therapeutic targets in Alzheimer’s disease.

  • Vast Human-Specific Delay in Cortical Ontogenesis Associated With
    Supplementary information Extension of cortical synaptic development distinguishes humans from chimpanzees and macaques Supplementary Methods Sample collection We used prefrontal cortex (PFC) and cerebellar cortex (CBC) samples from postmortem brains of 33 human (aged 0-98 years), 14 chimpanzee (aged 0-44 years) and 44 rhesus macaque individuals (aged 0-28 years) (Table S1). Human samples were obtained from the NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders at the University of Maryland, USA, the Netherlands Brain Bank, Amsterdam, Netherlands and the Chinese Brain Bank Center, Wuhan, China. Informed consent for use of human tissues for research was obtained in writing from all donors or their next of kin. All subjects were defined as normal by forensic pathologists at the corresponding brain bank. All subjects suffered sudden death with no prolonged agonal state. Chimpanzee samples were obtained from the Yerkes Primate Center, GA, USA, the Anthropological Institute & Museum of the University of Zürich-Irchel, Switzerland and the Biomedical Primate Research Centre, Netherlands (eight Western chimpanzees, one Central/Eastern and five of unknown origin). Rhesus macaque samples were obtained from the Suzhou Experimental Animal Center, China. All non-human primates used in this study suffered sudden deaths for reasons other than their participation in this study and without any relation to the tissue used. CBC dissections were made from the cerebellar cortex. PFC dissections were made from the frontal part of the superior frontal gyrus. All samples contained an approximately 2:1 grey matter to white matter volume ratio. RNA microarray hybridization RNA isolation, hybridization to microarrays, and data preprocessing were performed as described previously (Khaitovich et al.
