Pharmacological potential of endocannabinoid and endocannabinoid-like compounds in protecting intestinal structure and metabolism under high-fat conditions by Francesco Vari, Francesco Vari, Ilaria Serra, Ilaria Serra, Marzia Friuli, Viviana Cavallo, Nicola Gammaldi, Daniele Vergara, Michel Salzet, Anna M. Giudetti

“…Recent evidence suggests that endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-like compounds, such as oleoylethanolamide have a protective effect on the function and structure of the intestine. These endocannabinoid pathways modulating compounds can act on receptors in the intestinal epithelium, improving the intestinal barrier and counteracting inflammation, facilitating a more favorable environment for intestinal health. …”

Symptoms of Oesophageal Affection in Children With Scleroderma According to Mano-Impedancemetry: A Case Series by Marina Ju. Stepanyan, Elena V. Komarova, Nikolay N. Murashkin, Ekaterina I. Alexeeva

“…Despite the growing interest of investigators in this pathology, the problem of diagnosing oesophageal affection in various forms of systemic sclerosis remains under-investigated since endoscopic data does not provide a complete picture of the oesophageal function. Currently, mano-impedancemetry (MIP) is the leading method in Europe for determining the oesophageal function, including in children with scleroderma; in the Russian Federation, it is used only in adults. …”

The role proximity plays in university-driven social networks. The case of the US and EU life-science clusters by Małgorzata Runiewicz-Wardyn

“…The study identifies several fundamental relationships: (1) the presence of high physical, cognitive and organizational proximities within university-based ecosystems contributes to social networking and the interchange of knowledge; (2) cognitive and organizational proximities are the primary motives for social collaborations within university-based ecosystems; (3) physical proximity matters most when strong social networks already exist; (4) physical proximity allows ecosystem players to have more informal interactions; (5) cultural and social proximities increase more effective communication, trust and knowledge sharing; (6) social networking within university-based ecosystems may be partially engineered by the brokerage function of intermediary organizations and managers, aiming to narrow organizational, technological and cognitive proximities between ecosystem players. …”
