Blindness and visual impairment: quality of life and accessibility in the city of Turin

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
PurposeDespite the increase in socio-health conditions and, in general, the focus on health worldwide, many diseases still adversely affect the quality of life (QoL), including those causing vision loss. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Architectural Culture as a Barrier to Urban Regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesDefining the Urban Condition: Accelerating Change in the Geography of Power, 1995
The importance of involving local residents and workers in the regeneration of run-down urban areas is now enshrined in UK central government policy, through such programmes as Estate Action and City Challenge. However, it is widely accepted that effective community involvement is difficult to achieve in practice; and it is clear that one of the ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

A Study of Architectural Barriers and the Potential Role of Assistive Technologies in Long-term Healthcare Centres for People with Alzheimer’s

open access: yesInteraction Design and Architecture(s), 2022
Alzheimer's disease (AD) changes a person's relationship with space. While research exists on how an interactive therapeutic environment can enhance the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease (PWAD), PWADs as end-users are not ...

Loop coalescing and scheduling for barrier MIMD architectures

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 1993
Barrier MIMD's are asynchronous multiple instruction stream, multiple data stream architectures capable of parallel execution of variable execution time instructions and arbitrary control flow (e.g., while loops and calls); however, they differ from conventional MIMD's in that the need for run-time synchronization is significantly reduced.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
