Analysis of the role of TFG in autophagosome formation and trafficking

TFG (TRK-fused gene) is a protein ubiquitously expressed in human cells, and its main role is played in the early secretory export. TFG, indeed, acts to facilitate the export of COPII (coat protein II complex) vesicles following their scission from the ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum). TFG regulates the distribution of COPII transport carriers promoting their uncoating and retaining these vesicles at the region between the ER and the ERGIC (ER Golgi Intermediate Compartment), in order to facilitate...

Synthesis and characterization of diamond based systems for optoelectronic and biomedical applications

Thanks to the financial support of FBK Institute, the PhD program was aimed at the study of the electrical and optical properties of synthetic diamond containing impurities that behave as charge carriers or optically active defects. Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) films hosting Silicon-Vacancy ( ) and Si-Ni complexes color centers were produced on Si substrates coated by Ni by means of Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) technique. The Ni was deposited by both chemical and physical m...
