Physical activity before IVF and ICSI cycles in infertile obese women: an observational cohort study.
Stefano Palomba,Angela Falbo,Barbara Valli,Daria Morini,Maria Teresa Villani,A. Nicoli,Giovanni Battista La Sala +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the chances to obtain a pregnancy and a baby are 3-fold higher in obese infertile patients who does physical activity regularly in comparison with those who does not, suggesting that regular physical activity before ART cycles improves the reproductive performance in obese women irrespective to body weight loss.

MATER protein as substrate of PKCε in human cumulus cells
Tullia Maraldi,Massimo Riccio,Paola Sena,Laura Marzona,A. Nicoli,A. La Marca,Sandra Marmiroli,Jessika Bertacchini,G.B. La Sala,A. De Pol +9 more
TL;DR: Immunoprecipitation and confocal analysis suggest for the first time that MATER protein interacts with this protein kinase in cumulus cells under physiological conditions, which suggests a novel mechanism for the function of MATER in follicular maturation.
Enrichment in c-Kit+ enhances mesodermal and neural differentiation of human chorionic placental cells
Elisa Resca,Elisa Resca,Manuela Zavatti,Laura Bertoni,Tullia Maraldi,S. De Biasi,Alessandra Pisciotta,A. Nicoli,G.B. La Sala,Pascale V. Guillot,Anna L. David,Neil J. Sebire,P De Coppi,A. De Pol +13 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the stem cell characteristics and differentiation potential of a chorionic derived population enriched in c-Kit(+) cells and compared this to the unenriched population and found improved Oct-4 expression and a high differentiation potential into mesodermal lineages and oligodendrocytes.

The effect of the 2004 Italian law on outcomes of assisted reproduction technology in severe male factor infertility
TL;DR: The results showed that the Italian law limits the efficiency of assisted reproduction treatment in couples with severe male factor, and it is hoped that the law is altered as soon as possible, allowing the insemination of more than three oocytes.

Epitope analysis of immunoglobulins against gp20, a GPI‐anchored protein of the human sperm surface homologous to leukocyte antigen CD52
F. Flori,C. Delia Giovampaola,Riccardo Focarelli,Federica Secciani,G. B. La Sala,A. Nicoli,Geoffrey Hale,Floriana Rosati +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the anti-gp20 epitope does not include the peptide backbone, the GPI anchor, or the N-glycans but consists of O-linked oligosaccharide chains bound to a unique CD52 glycoform present both in sperm and leukocytes.
