    Abstract This work presents a comprehensive model that aims to unify our understanding of embryogenesis, ageing, and cancer. While there have been previous attempts to construct models separately for two of these phenomena (such as embryogenesis and cancer, ageing and cancer), models encompassing all three are relatively scarce, if not entirely absent. The model's most notable feature is the presence of driver cells throughout the body, which may correspond to Spemann's organisers. These driver cells play a vital role in propelling development as they dynamically emerge from non-driver cells and inhabit specialised niches. Remarkably, this continuous process persists throughout an organism's entire lifespan, signifying that development unfolds from conception to the end of life. Driver cells orchestrate change events through the induction of distinctive epigenetic patterns of gene activation. Events occurring at young age drive development, are subject to high evolutionary pressure and hence carefully optimised. Events occurring after reproduction age are subject to decreasing evolutionary pressure: for this reason, such events are "pseudorandom" -deterministic but erratic. Some of these events lead to age-related benign conditions, such as gray hair. Some lead to serious age-related diseases, such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, some of these events might perturb epigenetically key pathways involved in driver activation and formation, leading to cancer. In our model, this driver cell-based mechanism represents the backbone of multicellular biology: understanding and correcting its functioning may give the chance to solve a wide range of conditions at once.

    Author's details edited by Alessandro Zanasi, Giovanni A. Fontana, Donatella Mutolo
    Abstract This book provides an updated and comprehensive overview of cough, while opening new perspectives for their treatment and management. It enables readers to not only discover new physiologic features and mechanisms but also to gain an in-depth understanding of the diagnostic workup of cough, still one of the most frequent and challenging symptoms in daily medical practice. The book also provides insights into cough’s features and pathogenesis, as well as into pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments. The most frequent causes of chronic cough (asthma, postnasal drip, gastroesophageal reflux and chronic hypersensitivity syndrome) and different types of pediatric cough are also explored. Coughing is a common symptom, occurring in many clinical settings, and as such the book appeals a broad readership, including pulmonologists specialized in cough, general practitioners, internists, pediatricians and otorhinolaryngologists. .

    Abstract Purpose of review: The aim is to summarize the latest data on the incidence, clinical manifestations, and management of immune- mediated liver injury from checkpoint inhibitors (ILICI).
    Recent findings: ILICI develops in 10-15% of oncology patients receiving immunotherapy with most having asymptomatic serum aminotransferase and/or alkaline phosphatase elevations. Most grade 1-2 ILICI patients improve with drug discontinuation and/or short-term oral corticosteroids. In contrast, the 2-3% with grade 3/4 hepatotoxicity frequently require oral or intravenous corticosteroids and some are hospitalized to initiate further immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine. Liver biopsy is generally reserved for patients with atypical features or those with severe hepatotoxicity who fail to respond to treatment. Up to 3% of ILICI patients with a cholestatic profile have MRI evidence of intra or extrahepatic cholangitis that responds poorly to immunosuppression. Most ILICI patients improve during follow-up and liver-related death is very uncommon (<1%). Up to 30% of rechallenged ILICI patients develop recurrent hepatotoxicity with a shorter latency.
    Summary: ILICI is increasingly encountered by gastroenterologists evaluating oncology patients with abnormal liver biochemistries. A stepwise approach to exclude viral hepatitis, alcohol, hepatic metastases, and pancreaticobiliary disease is recommended. The majority of ILICI patients fully recover with ICI discontinuation and short-term corticosteroids or a second line immunosuppressant.

    Abstract The potentiality of cv. Malbec grape pomace (GP) as a functional ingredient in the formulation of bakery foods (muffins, biscuits and cereal bars) was studied. The effect of GP addition on the phenolic compounds (PCs) composition, nutritional and sensory properties were evaluated. The addition of GP increased the content of dietary fiber, proteins, ash, total phenolic content (TPC), antiradical capacity (AC), anthocyanins and non-anthocyanin PCs while decreasing the carbohydrates content. The main PCs given by the GP to supplemented foods were quercetin-3-

    Abstract For systems in equilibrium at a temperature T, thermal noise and energy damping are related to T through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). We study here an extension of the FDT to an out-of-equilibrium steady state: a microcantilever subject to a constant heat flux. The resulting thermal profile in this spatially extended system interplays with the local energy dissipation field to prescribe the amplitude of mechanical fluctuations. Using three samples with different damping profiles (localized or distributed), we probe this approach and experimentally demonstrate the link between fluctuations and dissipation. The thermal noise can therefore be predicted a priori from the measurement of the dissipation as a function of the maximum temperature of the micro-oscillator.

    Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are found in several human pathologies and are associated with aging. Deletion mutations in mtDNA result in the loss of essential genes for mitochondrial function. Over 250 deletion mutations have been reported and the common deletion is the most frequent mtDNA deletion linked to disease. This deletion removes 4977 base pairs of mtDNA. It has previously been shown that exposure to UVA radiation can promote the formation of the common deletion. Furthermore, aberrations in mtDNA replication and repair are associated with formation of the common deletion. However, molecular mechanisms describing the formation of this deletion are poorly characterized. This chapter describes a method to irradiate human skin fibroblasts with physiological doses of UVA and the subsequent detection of the common deletion by quantitative PCR analysis.
