Dynamic Nuclear Polarization and the Paradox of Quantum Thermalization.

Physical review letters

De Luca A, Rosso A.
PMID: 26340169
Phys Rev Lett. 2015 Aug 21;115(8):080401. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.080401. Epub 2015 Aug 20.

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is to date the most effective technique to increase the nuclear polarization opening disruptive perspectives for medical applications. In a DNP setting, the interacting spin system is quasi-isolated and brought out of equilibrium by microwave...

Life cycle tools combined with multi-criteria and participatory methods for agricultural sustainability: Insights from a systematic and critical review.

The Science of the total environment

De Luca AI, Iofrida N, Leskinen P, Stillitano T, Falcone G, Strano A, Gulisano G.
PMID: 28395257
Sci Total Environ. 2017 Oct 01;595:352-370. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.03.284.

Life cycle (LC) methodologies have attracted a great interest in agricultural sustainability assessments, even if, at the same time, they have sometimes been criticized for making unrealistic assumptions and subjective choices. To cope with these weaknesses, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis...

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of potential responses to future high levels of transmitted HIV drug resistance in antiretroviral drug-naive populations beginning treatment: modelling study and economic analysis.

Phillips AN, Cambiano V, Miners A, Revill P, Pillay D, Lundgren JD, Bennett D, Raizes E, Nakagawa F, De Luca A, Vitoria M, Barcarolo J, Perriens J, Jordan MR, Bertagnolio S.
PMID: 26423990
Lancet HIV. 2014 Nov;1(2):e85-93. doi: 10.1016/S2352-3018(14)70021-9. Epub 2014 Oct 14.

BACKGROUND: With continued roll-out of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited settings, evidence is emerging of increasing levels of transmitted drug-resistant HIV. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different potential public health responses to substantial levels of...

Therapeutic Approaches to Genetic Ion Channelopathies and Perspectives in Drug Discovery.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Imbrici P, Liantonio A, Camerino GM, De Bellis M, Camerino C, Mele A, Giustino A, Pierno S, De Luca A, Tricarico D, Desaphy JF, Conte D.
PMID: 27242528
Front Pharmacol. 2016 May 10;7:121. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00121. eCollection 2016.

In the human genome more than 400 genes encode ion channels, which are transmembrane proteins mediating ion fluxes across membranes. Being expressed in all cell types, they are involved in almost all physiological processes, including sense perception, neurotransmission, muscle...

Extracellular matrix components in peripheral nerve repair: how to affect neural cellular response and nerve regeneration?.

Neural regeneration research

de Luca AC, Lacour SP, Raffoul W, di Summa PG.
PMID: 25598773
Neural Regen Res. 2014 Nov 15;9(22):1943-8. doi: 10.4103/1673-5374.145366.

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious problem affecting significantly patients' life. Autografts are the "gold standard" used to repair the injury gap, however, only 50% of patients fully recover from the trauma. Artificial conduits are a valid alternative to...

Broadband optical transparency in plasmonic nanocomposite polymer films via exciton-plasmon energy transfer.

Optics express

Dhama R, Rashed AR, Caligiuri V, El Kabbash M, Strangi G, De Luca A.
PMID: 27410615
Opt Express. 2016 Jun 27;24(13):14632-41. doi: 10.1364/OE.24.014632.

Inherent absorptive losses affect the performance of all plasmonic devices, limiting their fascinating applications in the visible range. Here, we report on the enhanced optical transparency obtained as a result of the broadband mitigation of optical losses in nanocomposite...

Right ventricle chamber of young trained athletes: morphology and function.

Asian journal of sports medicine

De Luca A, Stefani L, Galanti G.
PMID: 24800003
Asian J Sports Med. 2013 Dec;4(4):281-8. doi: 10.5812/asjsm.34248. Epub 2013 Jun 25.

PURPOSE: The study of the right ventricular (RV) chamber has been recently improved by use of the 3D method. In young asymptomatic trained athletes, RV is not routinely investigated if not in suspected disease. This study is designed to...

Observation of cancellation and second light-induced Fréedericksz transition in nematic liquid crystals.

Optics letters

De Luca A, Nersisyan S, Umeton C.
PMID: 12656500
Opt Lett. 2003 Jan 15;28(2):108-10. doi: 10.1364/ol.28.000108.

We describe the observation of a new phenomenon: the cancellation of molecular reorientation that has been achieved in nematic liquid crystals acted on by two competing (pulsed) light beams. The effect is unstable: Starting from the cancellation condition, we...

Antifungal peptides: Origin, activity, and therapeutic potential.

Revista iberoamericana de micologia

De Luca AJ, Walsh TJ.
PMID: 15762805
Rev Iberoam Micol. 2000 Dec;17(4):116-20.

Antifungal peptides have been identified in a wide range of life forms which include plants, mammals, and microorganisms. Their structures are as varied as their antifungal properties. Semisynthetic and fully synthetic analogs have been developed from a few of...

A long-period, violently variable X-ray source in a young supernova remnant.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Observations with the Newton X-ray Multimirror Mission satellite show a strong periodic modulation at 6.67 +/- 0.03 hours of the x-ray source at the center of the 2000-year-old supernova remnant RCW 103. No fast pulsations are visible. If genetically...

Direct measurement of surface-induced orientational order parameter profile above the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature.
