The pro-autophagic protein AMBRA1 coordinates cell cycle progression by regulating CCND (cyclin D) stability
No full textThe scaffold protein AMBRA1 regulates the early steps of autophagosome formation and cell growth, and its deficiency is associated with neurodevelopmental defects and cancer. In a recent study, we show that AMBRA1 is a key factor in the upstream branch of the MYCN-MYC and CDK4-CDK6-dependent regulation of G1/S phase transition. Indeed, in the developing neuroepithelium, in neural stem cells, and in cancer cells, we demonstrate that AMBRA1 regulates the expression of D-type cyclins by controlling both their proteasomal degradation and their MYCN-MYC-mediated transcription. Also, we show that this regulation axis maintains genome integrity during DNA replication, and we identify a possible line of treatment for tumors downregulating AMBRA1 and/or overexpressing CCND1 (cyclin D1), by demonstrating that AMBRA1-depleted cells carry an AMBRA1-loss-specific lethal sensitivity to CHEK1 inhibition. Interestingly, we show that this aspect is specific for AMBRA1 loss, because ATG7 knockdown does not display the same response to CHEK1 inhibitors. Hence, our findings underscore that the AMBRA1-CCND1 pathway represents a novel crucial mechanism of cell cycle regulation, deeply interconnected with genomic stability in development and cancer
European Integration Without EU Membership: Models, Experiences, Perspectives
No full textForeword
The Max Weber post-doctoral Programme is a unique programme. In 2007– 2008, there were forty
Fellows on the Programme, covering a wide range of research interests within the Social Sciences and
Humanities, and representing twenty-three nationalities. Among the different activities of the
academic year, the conference on “European integration without membership: models, experiences,
perspectives” is a good example of Fellows’ initiative and their concern for relevant issues.
Encouraged by Professor Marise Cremona of the Law Department of the EUI, three Max Weber
Fellows, Francesco Maiani, Roman Petrov and Ekaterina Mouliarova, took the initiative to organize
the conference, invite the participants, actively participate in its development and, finally, act as
editors of the proceedings which follow. The Max Weber Programme, in collaboration with the Law
Department, fully supported their initiative, but the credit is theirs and that of the participants who
contributed to the conference.
Since its foundation more than thirty years ago, “European Integration” has been a recurrent theme in
the research agenda of the European University Institute – specially within the Law Department. The
conference built on this long tradition, but also took from the new perspectives that young postdoctoral
Fellows, with different national experiences, can bring to the discussion, a discussion that
brings forward new issues, when the EU27 must reassess its relationships with neighbouring countries
that form part of the broader European area without aiming at becoming EU members in the years to
come. A fruitful discussion on this relevant issue needs academic reflection, as well as practical legal
and political experience, it needs understanding of the EU perspective, as well as that of neighbouring
countries. It is again to the credit of the organizers that in the panels of the conference all these
perspectives were present in open discussion. The proceedings that follow bring together the papers
presented in this conference that took place at our beloved Villa La Fonte on May 23-24, 2008.

Director of the Max Weber ProgrammeAt the beginning of the 1990s, the concept of “European integration” could still be said to be fairly unambiguous. Nowadays, it has become plural and complex almost to the point of unintelligibility. This is due, of course, to the internal differentiation of EU membership, with several Member States pulling out of key integrative projects such as establishing an area without frontiers, the “Schengen” area, and a common currency. But this is also due to the differentiated extension of key integrative projects to European non-EU countries – Schengen is again a case in point. Such processes of “integration without membership”, the focus of the present publication, are acquiring an ever-growing topicality both in the political arena and in academia. International relations between the EU and its neighbouring countries are crucial for both, and their development through new agreements features prominently on the continent’s political agenda. Over and above this aspect, the dissemination of EU values and standards beyond the Union’s borders raises a whole host of theoretical and methodological questions, unsettling in some cases traditional conceptions of the autonomy and separation of national legal orders. This publication brings together the papers presented at the Integration without EU Membership workshop held in May 2008 at the EUI (Max Weber Programme and Department of Law). It aims to compare different models and experiences of integration between the EU, on the one hand, and those European countries that do not currently have an accession perspective on the other hand. In delimiting the geographical scope of the inquiry, so as to scale it down to manageable proportions, the guiding principles have been to include both the “Eastern” and “Western” neighbours of the EU, and to examine both structured frameworks of cooperation, such as the European Neighbourhood Policy and the European Economic Area, and bilateral relations developing on a more ad hoc basis. These principles are reflected in the arrangement of the papers, which consider in turn the positions of Ukraine, Russia, Norway, and Switzerland in European integration – current standing, perspectives for evolution, consequences in terms of the EU-ization of their respective legal orders1. These subjects are examined from several perspectives. We had the privilege of receiving contributions from leading practitioners and scholars from the countries concerned, from EU highranking officials, from prominent specialists in EU external relations law, and from young and talented researchers. We wish to thank them all here for their invaluable insights. We are moreover deeply indebted to Marise Cremona (EUI, Law Department, EUI) for her inspiring advice and encouragement, as well as to Ramon Marimon, Karin Tilmans, Lotte Holm, Alyson Price and Susan Garvin (Max Weber Programme, EUI) for their unflinching support throughout this project. A word is perhaps needed on the propriety and usefulness of the research concept embodied in this publication. Does it make sense to compare the integration models and experiences of countries as different as Norway, Russia, Switzerland, and Ukraine? Needless to say, this list of four evokes a staggering diversity of political, social, cultural, and economic conditions, and at least as great a diversity of approaches to European integration. Still, we would argue that such diversity only makes comparisons more meaningful. Indeed, while the particularities and idiosyncratic elements of each “model” of integration are fully displayed in the present volume, common themes and preoccupations run through the pages of every contribution: the difficulty in conceptualizing the finalité and essence of integration, which is evident in the EU today but which is greatly amplified for non-EU countries; the asymmetries and tradeoffs between integration and autonomy that are inherent in any attempt to participate in European integration from outside; the alteration of deeply seated legal concepts, and concepts about the law, that are already observable in the most integrated of the non-EU countries concerned. These issues are not transient or coincidental: they are inextricably bound up with the integration of non-EU countries in the EU project. By publishing this collection, we make no claim to have dealt with them in an exhaustive, still less in a definitive manner. Our ambition is more modest: to highlight the relevance of these themes, to place them more firmly on the scientific agenda, and to provide a stimulating basis for future research and reflection.Foreword

Qualità nutrizionale e influenza del trattamento domestico: prodotti tipici
No full textL’attività ha riguardato la valutazione dell’effetto del trattamento domestico di cottura, delle
modalità e delle abitudini di consumo su produzioni tipiche locali o commerciali di vegetali, in
modo da determinarne il reale apporto nutrizionale. Come parametri di qualità nutrizionale sono
stati selezionati il contenuto di alcune molecole bioattive caratteristiche dell’alimento e la
capacità antiossidante totale. I risultati ottenuti suggeriscono che i valori del potenziale
antiossidante per i prodotti tipici sono generalmente più alti rispetto ai prodotti commerciali,
cosa che è altrettanto vera per i singoli antiossidanti; ciò sembra indicare un “miglior potere
salutistico” di questi alimenti rispetto ai corrispettivi commerciali; inoltre esiste una variazione
dovuta ai trattamenti domestici di cottura, conservazione e alle modalità e/o abitudini di
consumo. Quindi, l’effetto salutistico di un alimento dipende dal suo contenuto in molecole
bioattive ma anche dai trattamenti subiti e le raccomandazioni nutrizionali indicare il reale valore
nutrizionale di un alimentoThe contribution concerns the evaluation of the qualty of typical food considering the domestic use
