Assessments on the material properties of the Pietraforte stone of Florence (Italy) in conservation, restoration and construction

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
“Pietraforte” is the historic name of a turbiditic sandstone extensively used in monumental buildings of Florence from the Roman period to the early XX century. Today all the historical quarries are disused, and they have been reclaimed as urban areas or

The relationship between feed efficiency and the circadian profile of blood plasma analytes measured in beef heifers at different physiological stages

Animal, 2014
The characterization of blood metabolite concentrations over the circadian period and across physiological stages is important for understanding the biological basis of feed efficiency, and may culminate in indirect methods for assessing feed efficiency.

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.
