    Abstract Background: COVID-19 reduces lung functionality causing a decrease of blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) often related to a decreased cellular oxygenation (hypoxia). Besides lung injury, other factors are implicated in the regulation of oxygen availability such as pH, partial arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO
    Material and methods: Sixty-eight COVID-19 patients were enrolled at hospital admission. The lung involvement was quantified using chest-Computer Tomography (CT) analysed with automatic software (CALIPER). Haemoglobin concentrations, glycemia, and routine analysis were evaluated in the whole blood, while partial arterial oxygen tension (PaO
    Results: A higher percentage of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and vascular pulmonary-related structure (VRS) volume on chest-CT quantified with CALIPER had been found in COVID-19 patients with a worse disease outcome (R = 0.4342; and R = 0.3641, respectively). Furthermore, patients with lower PaO
    Conclusions: Overall, the data reveal a different pattern of activation of blood oxygenation compensatory mechanisms reflecting a different course of the COVID-19 disease specifically focusing on 2,3-BPG modulation.

    Abstract Graphene and bidimensional (2D) materials have been widely used in nerve conduits to boost peripheral nerve regeneration. Nevertheless, the experimental and commercial variability in graphene-based materials generates graphene forms with different structures and properties that can trigger entirely diverse biological responses from all the players involved in nerve repair. Herein, we focus on the graphene and tungsten disulfide (WS

    Abstract The Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has been known to regulate cholesterol and β-amyloid (Aβ) production, redistribution, and elimination, in the central nervous system (CNS). The ApoE ε4 polymorphic variant leads to impaired brain cholesterol homeostasis and amyloidogenic pathway, thus representing the major risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Currently, less is known about the molecular mechanisms connecting ApoE ε4-related cholesterol metabolism and cholinergic system degeneration, one of the main AD pathological features. Herein, in vitro cholinergic neuron models were developed in order to study ApoE neuronal expression and investigate the possible interplay between cholesterol metabolism and cholinergic pathway impairment prompted by ε4 isoform. Particularly, alterations specifically occurring in ApoE ε4-carrying neurons (i.e. increased intracellular ApoE, amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Aβ levels, elevated apoptosis, and reduced cell survival) were recapitulated. ApoE ε4 expression was found to increase intracellular cholesterol accumulation, by regulating the related gene expression, while reducing cholesterol precursor acetyl-CoA, which in turn fuels the acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis route. In parallel, although the ACh intracellular signalling was activated, as demonstrated by the boosted extracellular ACh as well as increased IP
