Franca Piras,Maria Teresa Perra,Daniela Murtas,Luigi Minerba,C Floris,Cristina Maxia,Paolo Demurtas,J Ugalde,Domenico Ribatti,Paola Sirigu +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that nestin expression in both tumoral and endothelial cells may be considered an important early prognostic marker in melanoma.

Oxidative stress in pterygium: relationship between p53 and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine.
Maria Teresa Perra,Cristina Maxia,A Corbu,Luigi Minerba,Paolo Demurtas,Romano Colombari,Daniela Murtas,Sonia Bravo,Franca Piras,Paola Sirigu +9 more
TL;DR: Although pterygium is a lesion with limited local invasion and an inability to metastasize, the concomitant presence of altered p53 in 8-OHdG-immunoreactive cells could provide evidence of apparent genetic instability, in contrast to its benign clinical course.
Nuclear survivin is associated with disease recurrence and poor survival in patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma
Franca Piras,Daniela Murtas,Luigi Minerba,J Ugalde,C Floris,Cristina Maxia,R Colombari,Maria Teresa Perra,Paola Sirigu +8 more
TL;DR: Whether nuclear or cytoplasmic expression of survivin is related to disease recurrence and overall survival of patients with Stage I and II melanoma according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (JCC) staging system is determined.

Neovascularization and mast cells with tryptase activity increase simultaneously in human pterygium.
Domenico Ribatti,Beatrice Nico,Cristina Maxia,Vito Longo,Daniela Murtas,Domenica Mangieri,M. Teresa Perra,Michela De Giorgis,Franca Piras,Enrico Crivellato,Paola Sirigu +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the characteristic neovascularization observed in pterygium may be sustained, at least in part, by MC angiogenic mediators, in particular tryptase.
