    Abstract This brief report is intended to call attention to the fact that we use some very old terms in our daily medical speaking that were in use about 3500 years ago and were probably uttered as early as the late Bronze Age by Achilles, Agamennon and the other Homeric heroes outside the walls of Troy.

    Abstract In this article we reconsider Homer's poetry in the light of modern achievements in neuroscience. This perspective offers some clues for examining specific patterns of brain functioning. Homer's epics, for instance, painted a synthetic picture of the human body, emphasizing some parts and neglecting others. This led to the formation of a body schema reminiscent of a homunculus, which we call the "Homeric homunculus." Both poems were largely the product of centuries of oral tradition, in which the prodigious memory of courtly rhapsodists was essential to the performance of the epics. The underlying cognitive functions required a close interplay of memory and language skills, supported by the musical and rhythmic cadence of Homeric verse.

    Abstract Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells derived from myeloid lineage present in all classes of vertebrates and have emerged preceding much time the development of adaptive immunity. MCs are involved in inflammatory processes, allergic reactions, and host responses to parasites and bacteria infectious diseases. MCs are located at the host-environment interface, at many sites of initial antigen entry, including skin, lung and gastrointestinal tract, and have part of a protective mechanism. Skin has an important role in protecting the host from invasion both as physical barriers and by employing an intricate network of resident immune and non-immune cells include macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, MCs, neutrophils, eosinophils, and Langerhans cells. In this review we discussed the role of MCs in human skin cancers.

    Abstract Angiogenic growth factors are a class of molecules which exert a fundamental role in the process of blood vessel formation. Besides vasculogenic and angiogenic properties, these compounds mediate a complex series of patterning activities during organogenesis. Angiogenic factors cooperate in the growth and development of embryo tissues in a cross-talk between endothelial cells and tissue cells. It is well established that many tissue-derived factors are involved in blood vessel formation, but there is now emerging evidence that angiogenic factors and endothelial cells themselves represent a crucial source of instructive signals to non-vascular tissue cells during organ development. Thus, angiogenic factors and endothelial cell signalling are currently believed to provide fundamental cues for cell fate specification, embryo patterning, organ differentiation and postnatal tissue remodelling. This review article will summarize some of the recent advances in our understanding of the role of angiogenic factors and endothelial cells as effectors in organ formation.

    Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes of the innate immune system, responsible for direct targeting and killing of both virally infected and transformed cells. Under pathological conditions and during inflammation, NK cells extravasate into the lymph nodes and accumulate at inflammatory or tumor sites. The activation of NK cells depends on an intricate balance between activating and inhibitory signals that determines if a target will be susceptible to NK-mediated lysis. Many experimental evidences indicate that NK cells are also involved in several immunoregulatory processes and have the ability to modulate the adaptive immune responses. Many other important aspects about NK cell biology are emerging in these last years. The aim of this review is to elucidate the role of NK cells in tumor angiogenesis and their interaction with mast cells. In fact, it has been observed that NK cells produce pro-angiogenic factors and participate alone or in cooperation with mast cells to the regulation of angiogenesis in both physiological and pathological conditions including tumors.

    Abstract Abstract: The wooden Crucifix of the Santa Maria dei Servi Church in Padua was recently attributed to the great sculptor Donatello. This crucifix recently underwent a demanding restoration. In the context of a multidisciplinary study of this sculpture, several analyses were carried out (Digital Rx, 3D scanning, CT scanning and micro-stratigraphic analysis) and the anatomical study was performed. Donatello sculpted the anatomy of this Christ realistically reproducing the human body, emphasizing some particulars, with less attention to details in the regions of the body hidden by the Crux. A swelling is well appreciable just below the lateral portion of the inguinal ligament, on the right thigh. It is a six cm wide bulge and it could be the consequence of the beating suffered by Christ before the crucifixion.
