Rare diseases (Austin, Tex.)

Cortes CJ, La Spada AR.
PMID: 26942099
Rare Dis. 2014 Oct 30;2(1):e962402. doi: 10.4161/2167549X.2014.962402. eCollection 2014.

Non-cell autonomous degeneration has arisen as an important mechanism in neurodegenerative disorders. Using a novel line of BAC androgen receptor (AR) transgenic mice with a floxed transgene (BAC fxAR121), we uncovered a key role for skeletal muscle in X-linked...

Surgical Treatment of a Voluminous Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Horseshoe Kidney: Tips and Tricks.

Annals of vascular diseases

De Caridi G, Massara M, Greco M, Mastrojeni C, Serra R, Salomone I, La Spada M.

Ann Vasc Dis. 2015;8(4):324-7. doi: 10.3400/avd.cr.15-00083. Epub 2015 Oct 20.

Horseshoe kidney is a common urology anomaly, while its association with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a very rare condition. Surgical approach remains controversial however, we believe that the left retroperitoneal approach should be preferred in order to avoid...

Opt Express. 2017 Oct 02;25(20):23699-23708. doi: 10.1364/OE.25.023699.

In this work, near-zero-index material boundary properties have been exploited to achieve new electromagnetic functionalities. The extraordinary guiding properties of a cylindrical dielectric rod waveguide surrounded by a thin epsilon-mu-near-zero shell is analyzed and discussed. A closed-form solution for...

Magmatic gas composition reveals the source depth of slug-driven strombolian explosive activity.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Burton M, Allard P, Muré F, La Spina A.
PMID: 17626881
Science. 2007 Jul 13;317(5835):227-30. doi: 10.1126/science.1141900.

Strombolian-type eruptive activity, common at many volcanoes, consists of regular explosions driven by the bursting of gas slugs that rise faster than surrounding magma. Explosion quakes associated with this activity are usually localized at shallow depth; however, where and...

Retrograde spins of near-Earth asteroids from the Yarkovsky effect.

Nature

La Spina A, Paolicchi P, Kryszczyńska A, Pravec P.
PMID: 15042082
Nature. 2004 Mar 25;428(6981):400-1. doi: 10.1038/nature02411.

Dynamical resonances in the asteroid belt are the gateway for the production of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). To generate the observed number of NEAs, however, requires the injection of many asteroids into those resonant regions. Collisional processes have long been...

Metamaterial-based wideband electromagnetic wave absorber.

Optics express

La Spada L, Vegni L.
PMID: 27136774
Opt Express. 2016 Mar 21;24(6):5763-72. doi: 10.1364/OE.24.005763.

In this paper, an analytical and numerical study of a new type of electromagnetic absorber, operating in the infrared and optical regime, is proposed. Absorption is obtained by exploiting Epsilon-Near-Zero materials. The structure electromagnetic properties are analytically described by...

Tight expression regulation of senataxin, linked to motor neuron disease and ataxia, is required to avert cell-cycle block and nucleolus disassembly.

Pathogenic variants in SETX cause two distinct neurological diseases, a loss-of-function recessive disorder, ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2), and a dominant gain-of-function motor neuron disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 (ALS4). We identified two unrelated patients with...
