Intergovernmental relations and long term care reforms: lessons from the Italian case (Publications)
The article aims at analysing the reasons why Italy failed to reform Long Term Care (LTC) policies, focusing on an aspect which has been overlooked: the interplay between LTC policies and the intergov
Atopic conditions and brain tumor risk in children and adolescents: an international case-control study (CEFALO) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A number of epidemiological studies indicate an inverse association between atopy and brain tumors in adults, particularly gliomas. We investigated the association between atopic disorders
Exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from broadcast transmitters and risk of childhood cancer: a census-based cohort study (Publications)
We investigated the association between exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer. First, we conducted a time-to-event analysis incl
Binding to large enzyme pockets: small-molecule inhibitors of trypanothione reductase (Publications)
The causative agents of the parasitic disease human African trypanosomiasis belong to the family of trypanosomatids. These parasitic protozoa exhibit a unique thiol redox metabolism that is based on t
Differences in conformational dynamics between <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and human Hsp90 orthologues enable the structure-based discovery of... (Publications)
The high sequence conservation of druggable pockets of closely related proteins can make it challenging to develop selective inhibitors. We designed a new drug discovery approach that exploits both th
A profile of travelers - an analysis from a large Swiss travel clinic (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Globally, the Swiss have one of the highest proportions of the population traveling to tropical and subtropical countries. Large travel clinics serve an increasing number of customers with
Fabclavines: bioactive peptide-polyketide-polyamino hybrids from <em>Xenorhabdus</em> (Publications)
The structure of the fabclavines-unique mixtures of nonribosomally derived peptide-polyketide hybrids connected to an unusual polyamino moiety-has been solved by detailed NMR and MS methods. These com
