Novel Immunotherapeutic Approaches for Neuroblastoma and Malignant Melanoma by Fabio Morandi, Francesco Frassoni, Mirco Ponzoni, Chiara Brignole

“…Although NB and MM have a different behavior, in respect to age of onset, primary tissue involvement and metastatic spread, the prognosis for high stage-affected patients is still poor, in spite of aggressive treatment strategies and the huge amount of new discovered biological knowledge. For these reasons researchers are continuously attempting to find out new treatment options, which in a near future could be translated to the clinical practice. …”

An Evaluation of the Effects of Delayed Parasitism on Daily and Lifetime Fecundity of <i>Aphidius ervi</i> Haliday by Vincenzo Trotta, Paolo Fanti, Roberto Rosamilia, Donatella Battaglia

“…Studying how the parasitoid optimizes its reproductive resources is important as it provides information to improve the efficiency of a biological control programme. Many studies have been carried out on <i>Aphidius ervi</i> to assess the foraging behaviour of the parasitoid, but how the age of the parasitoid affects its foraging behaviour is still poorly understood. …”
