The purpose of my PhD project is to fill a gap in current knowledge of RP by devising a still missing pharmacological treatment which exploits the ability of new molecules to target oxidative stress and delay the disease progression. In particular, I will study the efficacy of a treatment based on saffron and its natural and synthetic derivatives, in slowing down the progression of retinal degeneration in animal models of RP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Publications link: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scopus.com\/authid\/detail.uri?authorId=57651430000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Scopus-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-184\" style=\"width:auto;height:20px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Scopus-2.png 120w, https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Scopus-2-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oral communications at conferences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Role of oxidative stress and the antioxidant effect of nutraceutical molecules&#8221; 14th Annual Meeting of Young Researchers in Physiology (YRP), Bertinoro (Italy);  29\/07\/2021 \u2013 31\/7\/2021 .<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAnti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities of TSPO ligands in an in-vitro model of retinal neuro-inflammation\u201d 4th Brainstorming Research Assembly for young Neuroscientists, Pisa (Italy); 20\/10\/2021 \u2013 22.10.2021.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAntioxidant activity of 8-amino-quinoline compounds combined with natural acid in an in-vitro neuronal model\u201d The future of Redox Biology, Siena (Italy); 17\/06\/2022 \u2013 19.6.2022.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Resilienza e neuroprotezione: la nuova frontiera dello zafferano&#8221; Zafferano Chimica e Salute, L&#8217;Aquila (Italy); 23\/10\/2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activity of a TSPO ligand in slowing retina neurodegeneration in a model of retinitis pigmentosa&#8221; Ever Congress, Valencia (Spain); 26\/10\/2023 \u2013 28\/10\/2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contacts: francesca.corsi@phd.unipi.it Supervisor(s): Professor Maria Claudia Gargini PhD project Title: Saffron treatment as nutraceutical strategies for a mutation-independent approaches to slow down Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Abstract of the PhD project: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary retinal dystrophy characterized by the progressive degeneration of photoreceptors and abnormalities in retinal pigment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/cicli-conclusi\/corsi-francesca\/\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":615,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-205","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/205\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207,"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/205\/revisions\/207"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sfsb.farm.unipi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
