In response to the global crisis of biodiversity loss, biobanks are increasingly being established to safeguard and restore genetic diversity. Preserved tissues and cells enable scientists and conservationists to work across spatial and even temporal fragmentation in declining wildlife populations and to employ assisted reproductive technologies, that is, as long as biobanks can be used safely and ethically.

In a new scientific article published in the journal Cryobiology, the BioRescue team, of which the University of Padua is a member, systematically analyzes these ethical issues including animal welfare, ownership, good practices and more.

To help address these conservation issues, BioRescue has adapted the ETHAS ethical assessment tool to apply to the biobanking of various types of biomaterials, such as tissues, reproductive cells, embryos, and cell cultures. ETHAS is a systematic, checklist-based self-assessment tool that covers environmental ethics, animal welfare ethics, social ethics, and research ethics involved in biobanking procedures.

"If new horizons for conservation are opened up through the use of new biotechnologies such as biobanking, we must ensure that we make wise decisions for the environment and the ecosystem, for the welfare of the animals involved, for society and its institutions and regulations, as well as for good scientific practice," says Barbara de Mori, professor at the University of Padua, who leads ethical research in BioRescue.

The ethical evaluation of biobanking activities, however, is still in its infancy, the BioRescue team summarizes in the scientific paper, as is the integration of genomic banks (GRBs) in the management of species of conservation interest. It is urgent not only to improve the ethical training of conservationists and professionals working in the field of biobanking but also to facilitate the establishment of GRBs as a fundamental strategy to support species conservation goals. The collection and preservation of samples and the development of living cell lines should be considered an integral part of conservation efforts as routine interventions rather than exceptions, as should their ethical evaluation.

The ethical evaluation of biobanking activities, however, is still in its infancy, the BioRescue team summarizes in the scientific paper, as is the integration of genomic banks (GRBs) in the management of species of conservation interest. It is urgent not only to improve the ethical training of conservationists and professionals working in the field of biobanking but also to facilitate the establishment of GRBs as a fundamental strategy to support species conservation goals. The collection and preservation of samples and the development of living cell lines should be considered an integral part of conservation efforts as routine interventions rather than exceptions, as should their ethical evaluation.

In response to the global crisis of biodiversity loss, biobanks are increasingly being established to safeguard and restore genetic diversity. Preserved tissues and cells enable scientists and conservationists to work across spatial and even temporal fragmentation in declining wildlife populations and to employ assisted reproductive technologies, that is, as long as biobanks can be used safely and ethically.

In a new scientific article published in the journal Cryobiology, the BioRescue team, of which the University of Padua is a member, systematically analyzes these ethical issues including animal welfare, ownership, good practices and more.

To help address these conservation issues, BioRescue has adapted the ETHAS ethical assessment tool to apply to the biobanking of various types of biomaterials, such as tissues, reproductive cells, embryos, and cell cultures.

Potassium channels are protein structures that allow rapid and selective passage of ions through the cell membrane. The passage can also occur thanks to a difference in potassium concentration and electrical potential on the two sides of the membrane itself. Potassium ions can move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until the gradient is counterbalanced by the membrane. A malfunction of these channels is associated with various human pathologies.

Among the many known potassium channels, Kv1.3 covers several pathologies, including cancer. While its role is well known, less so is how it is involved in the progression of the disease.

In the article BioID-based intact cell interactome of the Kv1.3 potassium channel identifies a Kv1.3-STAT3-p53 cellular signaling pathway recently published in Science Advances, researchers from the Department of Biology at the University of Padua reported results that demonstrate that Kv1.3 influences cell behavior more widely than previously thought. Furthermore, the data shows that by acting on this channel, it is possible to significantly slow down tumor growth and reduce the spread of its metastases.

The study, coordinated by Vanessa Checchetto and Ildikò Szabò, also included Elena Prosdocimi and Veronica Carpanese, co-authors of the article, and all members of the Department of Biology at the University of Padua.

To demonstrate the relevance of Kv1.3 and its interactions in tumor development, the researchers modified melanoma cells in the laboratory so that they lacked this channel. In the experiments performed, the altered cells showed a different gene expression, reduced growth, an ability to form tumors four times smaller, and a decrease in lung metastases compared to the original cells (“wild type”) with Kv1.3.

Potassium channels are protein structures that allow rapid and selective passage of ions through the cell membrane. The passage can also occur thanks to a difference in potassium concentration and electrical potential on the two sides of the membrane itself. Potassium ions can move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until the gradient is counterbalanced by the membrane. A malfunction of these channels is associated with various human pathologies.

Among the many known potassium channels, Kv1.3 covers several pathologies, including cancer. While its role is well known, less so is how it is involved in the progression of the disease.

In the article BioID-based intact cell interactome of the Kv1.3 potassium channel identifies a Kv1.3-STAT3-p53 cellular signaling pathway recently published in Science Advances, researchers from the Department of Biology at the University of Padua reported results that demonstrate that Kv1.3 influences cell behavior more widely than previously thought. Furthermore, the data shows that by acting on this channel, it is possible to significantly slow down tumor growth and reduce the spread of its metastases.

The study, coordinated by Vanessa Checchetto and Ildikò Szabò, also included Elena Prosdocimi and Veronica Carpanese, co-authors of the article, and all members of the Department of Biology at the University of Padua.

To demonstrate the relevance of Kv1.3 and its interactions in tumor development, the researchers modified melanoma cells in the laboratory so that they lacked this channel.

A massive landslide caused by the collapse of a mountaintop in the remote Dickson Fjord in northeastern Greenland generated a 200-meter-high mega-tsunami that continued for 9 days, sending a seismic signal across the world that had never been seen before.

The study, A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang the Earth for 9 days recently published in Science, is thanks to the collaborative work of 68 scientists from 40 institutions across 15 countries. For those in Italy, the universities of Padua and Catania, as well as the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) took part in the research.

Prof Kristian Svennevig of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and lead author of the study explains, “When we started this scientific adventure, we were all quite puzzled and none of us had the slightest idea what had caused this peculiar seismic signal.  We knew that it was somehow associated with the landslide, but this was the first landslide and tsunami due to ice melt observed in eastern Greenland. Our work shows that climate change strongly impacts our world today.”

The multidisciplinary team analyzed seismic and infrasound data, field measurements, data from the local network of oceanographic sensors, live and satellite images, and numerical simulations of tsunami waves. The collected data managed to reconstruct the extraordinary cascade of events triggered in September of last year.

“Multidisciplinary data analysis confirmed that the mega-tsunami resulting from the landslide was one of the highest ever recorded in recent history, reaching 200 meters of wave inside the fjord. About 70 kilometers away, tsunami waves reached 4 meters in height, damaging a research base on the island of Ella Ø”, adds Piero Poli, a researcher at the University of Padua and co-author of the study. “The movement of such a mass of water was able to generate vibrations through the Earth, with seismic waves that, radiating from the Arctic to the Antarctic, generated an anomalous global seismic signal. This event underlines the importance of creating special systems for monitoring seismic data at a global scale, which allow the rapid identification and characterization of new and increasingly frequent signals associated with surface processes, such as landslides and rapid movements of ice or fluids, associated with climate change.”

The team’s simulations showed that the water in the fjord swayed back and forth every 90 seconds, the same period of oscillation as the seismic waves. This correspondence indicates that the force of the moving water mass was able to generate seismic energy that propagated through the Earth’s crust.

Before losing strength, the event was energetic enough to generate a global signal that resonated for 9 days. Never had a seismic wave of such a long duration traveled globally and contained a single frequency of vibration.

A massive landslide caused by the collapse of a mountaintop in the remote Dickson Fjord in northeastern Greenland generated a 200-meter-high mega-tsunami that continued for 9 days, sending a seismic signal across the world that had never been seen before.

The study, A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang the Earth for 9 days recently published in Science, is thanks to the collaborative work of 68 scientists from 40 institutions across 15 countries. For those in Italy, the universities of Padua and Catania, as well as the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) took part in the research.

Prof Kristian Svennevig of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and lead author of the study explains, “When we started this scientific adventure, we were all quite puzzled and none of us had the slightest idea what had caused this peculiar seismic signal.  We knew that it was somehow associated with the landslide, but this was the first landslide and tsunami due to ice melt observed in eastern Greenland. Our work shows that climate change strongly impacts our world today.”

The multidisciplinary team analyzed seismic and infrasound data, field measurements, data from the local network of oceanographic sensors, live and satellite images, and numerical simulations of tsunami waves. The collected data managed to reconstruct the extraordinary cascade of events triggered in September of last year.

“Multidisciplinary data analysis confirmed that the mega-tsunami resulting from the landslide was one of the highest ever recorded in recent history, reaching 200 meters of wave inside the fjord. About 70 kilometers away, tsunami waves reached 4 meters in height, damaging a research base on the island of Ella Ø”, adds Piero Poli, a researcher at the University of Padua and co-author of the study. “The movement of such a mass of water was able to generate vibrations through the Earth, with seismic waves that, radiating from the Arctic to the Antarctic, generated an anomalous global seismic signal. This event underlines the importance of creating special systems for monitoring seismic data at a global scale, which allow the rapid identification and characterization of new and increasingly frequent signals associated with surface processes, such as landslides and rapid movements of ice or fluids, associated with climate change.”

The team’s simulations showed that the water in the fjord swayed back and forth every 90 seconds, the same period of oscillation as the seismic waves. This correspondence indicates that the force of the moving water mass was able to generate seismic energy that propagated through the Earth’s crust.

Before losing strength, the event was energetic enough to generate a global signal that resonated for 9 days. Never had a seismic wave of such a long duration traveled globally and contained a single frequency of vibration.

Our work shows that climate change strongly impacts our world today.”

The multidisciplinary team analyzed seismic and infrasound data, field measurements, data from the local network of oceanographic sensors, live and satellite images, and numerical simulations of tsunami waves. The collected data managed to reconstruct the extraordinary cascade of events triggered in September of last year.

“Multidisciplinary data analysis confirmed that the mega-tsunami resulting from the landslide was one of the highest ever recorded in recent history, reaching 200 meters of wave inside the fjord. About 70 kilometers away, tsunami waves reached 4 meters in height, damaging a research base on the island of Ella Ø”, adds Piero Poli, a researcher at the University of Padua and co-author of the study. “The movement of such a mass of water was able to generate vibrations through the Earth, with seismic waves that, radiating from the Arctic to the Antarctic, generated an anomalous global seismic signal. This event underlines the importance of creating special systems for monitoring seismic data at a global scale, which allow the rapid identification and characterization of new and increasingly frequent signals associated with surface processes, such as landslides and rapid movements of ice or fluids, associated with climate change.”

The team’s simulations showed that the water in the fjord swayed back and forth every 90 seconds, the same period of oscillation as the seismic waves. This correspondence indicates that the force of the moving water mass was able to generate seismic energy that propagated through the Earth’s crust.

Before losing strength, the event was energetic enough to generate a global signal that resonated for 9 days. Never had a seismic wave of such a long duration traveled globally and contained a single frequency of vibration.

A massive landslide caused by the collapse of a mountaintop in the remote Dickson Fjord in northeastern Greenland generated a 200-meter-high mega-tsunami that continued for 9 days, sending a seismic signal across the world that had never been seen before.

The study, A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang the Earth for 9 days recently published in Science, is thanks to the collaborative work of 68 scientists from 40 institutions across 15 countries. For those in Italy, the universities of Padua and Catania, as well as the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) took part in the research.
