Scientific activity Beside its role on growth, differentiation and function in the peripheral and central nervous system, NGF acts also on cells of the immune system and it is involved in inflammatory responses. Using blood samples of patients affected by rheumathoid arthritis, and tissue of rodents with experimentally-induced arthritis we have characterized the effect of this autoimmune inflammatory disorders on the basal NGF levels within the synovia, in the synovial fluid and blood circulation.We have also investigate the correlation between the amount of NGF and well estabilished inflammatory mediators, notably cytokines (IL-1 and TNF) and neuropeptides (SP). Scientific results NGF and Ethanol: Our results showed that there is an effect of alcohol consumption on brain nerve growth factor (NGF) and the NGF-target cells of adult male rats and pups exposed prenatally to ethanol. It is hypothesized that NGF, a trophic agent for the survival and maintenance of basal cholinergic neurons, might be affected by the neurodegenerative events wich occur during ethanol consumption. To test this hypothesis, we used adult rats exposed to ethanol for 16 weeks and pregnant rats exposed to ethanol for six days. Our experiment show that ethanol ingestion causes a reduction of NGF in the hippocampus, of choline acetyltransferase activity in both the septum and hippocampus, and in the distribution of NGF receptor in the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. The results indicate that the damaging effect of alcohol on forebrain cholinergic neurons is also associated with impairment of the central NGF-target structures.

When Italy entered the war on the side of Germany and the Allies began to bomb the country, the heavy bombardments of Turin in 1941 and 1942 forced Levi-Montalcini and her family to leave the city and seek refuge in a village. There she rebuilt her laboratory under more difficult and primitive conditions than before, continuing her research on fertilized eggs which she obtained from local farmers (claiming she needed fertilized eggs for better nutrition for her children). These she warmed in a simple home incubator. Despite her primitive working conditions, she succeeded in continuing her research the entire time, publishing her results in the United States after the war.

Alison Abbott meets the first Nobel prizewinner set to reach her hundredth birthday. Alison Abbott Download a PDF of this story. Tiny though she is, Rita Levi-Montalcini tends to command attention. And on the morning of 18 November 2006, she had the attention of the entire Italian government. A senator for life, Levi-Montalcini held the deciding vote on a budget backed by the government of Romano Prodi, which held a parliamentary majority of just one. A few days earlier, Levi-Montalcini had said she would withdraw her support for the budget unless the government reversed a last-minute decision to sacrifice science funds. It was Levi-Montalcini versus Prodi — and Levi-Montalcini won. On the morning of the vote, immaculately turned out as always, she walked regally on the arm of an usher to her seat in the Italian senate and cast her vote. At one stroke, she secured the budget, won a battle for Italian science and snubbed Francesco Storace, leader of the Right party and part of the opposition coalition. A few weeks earlier, Storace had caused a national scandal by announcing his intention to send crutches to Levi-Montalcini's home — symbolic of her both being a crutch to an ailing government, he said, and her age, which he considered too old to be allowed to vote.

The majority of her career has been devoted to investigating the many aspects of NGF Levi-Montalcini and her twin sister Paola were born on 22 April 1909 in Turin, Italy, to her father, Adamo Levi, an electrical engineer and mathematician, and mother, Adele Montalcini. In her autobiography she describes her family atmosphere as wonderful, loving, and with reciprocal devotion. Her father was a very traditional man and his daughters were not allowed to pursue a professional career, which would have interfered with their future roles as wife and mother. At the age of twenty, with the feeling she could not fit into her prescribed traditional female role, Levi-Montalcini asked her father’s permission to pursue a professional career. She filled in her required high school courses and enrolled at the University of Turin Medical School. Levi-Montalcini’s university class contained three future Nobel laureates: Salvadore Luria, Renalto Dulbecco, and herself. She attributed much of the brilliance of this class to the instructive talents of Giuseppe Levi, an Italian histologist. In 1938 she graduated

Levi-Montalcini, Rita Ma soeur jumelle Paola et moi sommes n�s � Turin le 22 avril 1909, le plus jeune de quatre enfants. Nos parents �taient Adamo Levi, un ing�nieur �lectricien et le math�maticien dou� et Ad�le Montalcini, un peintre dou� et un �tre humain exquis. Notre fr�re plus vieux Gino, qui est mort il y a douze ans d'une crise cardiaque, �tait un des architectes italiens les plus bien connus et un professeur � l'Universit� de Turin. Notre soeur Anna, cinq ans plus vieux que Paola et moi-m�me, vit � Turin avec ses enfants et petits-enfants. Depuis l'adolescence, elle a �t� un admirateur enthousiaste du grand auteur Su�dois, le Laur�at Selma Nobel LagerloF et elle m'a infect� tant avec son enthousiasme que j'ai d�cid� de devenir un auteur et d�crire la saga italienne "� Lagerl la o F". Mais les choses �taient de prendre une tournure diff�rente. Les quatre d'entre nous ont aim� une atmosph�re de famille la plus merveilleuse, remplie de l'amour et la d�votion r�ciproque. Tous les deux parents �taient fortement cultiv�s et ont instill� dans nous leur haute appr�ciation de poursuite intellectuelle. Il �tait, cependant, un style Victorian typique de vie, toutes les d�cisions �tant prises par le chef de la famille, le mari et le p�re. Il nous a aim�s ch�rement et avait un grand respect pour des femmes, mais il a cru qu'une carri�re professionnelle se heurterait aux imp�ts (devoirs) d'une femme et la m�re. Il a donc d�cid� que les trois d'entre nous - Anna, Paola et moi - ne m'engagerions pas dans les �tudes qui ouvrent la voie � une carri�re professionnelle et que nous ne nous inscririons pas dans l'Universit�.
