“We would like to thank all the partners for accepting to continue this important partnership with the new edition of the Replica Project” stated Prof. Giovanni Li Volti, recently reconfirmed COEHAR Director “The goal for this new session of experiments is to replicate published scientific works dealing with the impact of cigarette smoke and RRP on the progression of cancer and in particular to molecular mechanisms of chemoresistance. In particular, the result of such studies will make also the difference in terms of harm reduction strategies for a particular vulnerable population of patients and improve the quality of their life in terms of life expectancy and adverse reactions to chemotherapy”
Professor Pasquale Caponnetto and doctoral candidate Mirko Casu will join two international conferences on "Digital Psychology" and Tobacco Harm Reduction (SRNT)
Ten of the world’s leading experts in diabetes addressed the issue of smoking harm in this vulnerable population in its clinical, medical, behavioral and sociological implications, in order to provide independent consultation and oversight to the development of smoking cessation / harm reduction guidelines for smokers with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The Replica project team activity and the results of the studies on the reduced cytotoxicity and inflammation induced by cigarette smoke and ENDS aerosol will be presented during the XVI edition of the Congress of the Italian Federation of Life Sciences (FISV), which represents over 10.0000 Italian scientists and which will take place from 14 to 16 September 2022 in Naples
The meeting “75th Tobacco Science Research Conference” is an incredible opportunity for researchers and professionals to discuss, analyze and deepen the latest news on tobacco harm reduction strategies, including the necessary steps to develop the scientific activity and the engagement of the sector
As a tangible demonstration of the gratitude towards the city that marked the beginning of the change, this morning CoEHAR presented the “CoEHAR Mural” along A.Doria Avenue (near INFN- Institute of Nuclear Physics). The mural is an artistic work created by the collective “MaleTinte”, thanks to the patronage of the Municipality of Catania and the Italian Anti-smoking League, LIAF, and the support of the BCC, Cooperative Credit Bank of Regalbuto and PPG Italy Group.
CoEHAR researchers investigated for the first time the relationship between biochemically-verified smoking status and SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large population study. The study “The impact of laboratory-verified smoking on SARS-CoV-2 infection: Results from the Troina sero-epidemiological survey”, found that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity were reduced in smokers compared to former and never smokers (19.8% vs. 31%)
