He says troops will stay until democracy takes root
Dal 20 al 25 gennaio 2026 Triennale Milano propone una settimana intensa di appuntamenti tra libri, musica, danza e arti sonore. Lunedì 20 gennaio si presenta il volume INCOMPIUTO. La nascita di uno stile, con interventi di curatori, artisti e architetti. Martedì 21 gennaio è dedicato a Cultura adesso. Un’economia contemporanea, con un confronto sul ruolo della cultura come infrastruttura democratica. Sempre il 21 gennaio, la listening session con Fiorella Mannoia, ormai sold out, mette al centro l’album Anime Salve di Fabrizio De André e il progetto live in arrivo nel 2026. Mercoledì 22 gennaio torna Dance Well, laboratorio di danza contemporanea aperto soprattutto alle persone con Parkinson ma accessibile a tutti. Dal 23 al 25 gennaio lo spazio Voce ospita l’installazione sonora SONDA. Roberto Cuoghi: Šuillakku Corral, visitabile gratuitamente. Venerdì 24 gennaio, infine, una visita guidata e un workshop dedicato a Fabio Mauri. De oppressione coinvolgono sia il pubblico adulto sia bambini e famiglie.

• Otx2 binds to the promoter/enhancer region of Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog in ESCs and EpiSCs • Otx2 binding to the Nanog promoter helps maintain the integrity of ESC compartments • Loss of this Otx2-binding site induces primed-like features in ESCs • Otx2 regulation of Nanog contributes to ICM differentiation of the epiblast Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and the inner cell mass (ICM)-derived epiblast exhibit naive pluripotency. ESC-derived epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) and the postimplantation epiblast exhibit primed pluripotency. Although core pluripotency factors are well-characterized, additional regulators, including Otx2, recently have been shown to function during the transition from naive to primed pluripotency. Here we uncover a role for Otx2 in the control of the naive pluripotent state. We analyzed Otx2-binding activity in ESCs and EpiSCs and identified Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2 as direct targets. To unravel the Otx2 transcriptional network, we targeted the strongest Otx2-binding site in the Nanog promoter, finding that this site modulates the size of specific ESC-subtype compartments in cultured cells and promotes Nanog expression in vivo, predisposing ICM differentiation to epiblast. Otx2-mediated Nanog regulation thus contributes to the integrity of the ESC state and cell lineage specification in preimplantation development.
Pat Mooney has more than four decades experience working in international civil society, first addressing aid and development issues and then focusing on food, agriculture and commodity trade. Mooney’s more recent work has focused on geoengineering, nanotechnology, synthetic biology and global governance of these technologies as well as corporate involvement in their development. The author or co-author of several books on the politics of biotechnology and biodiversity, Pat Mooney received The Right Livelihood Award (the “Alternative Nobel Prize“) in the Swedish Parliament in 1985. In 1998 Mooney received the Pearson Medal of Peace from Canada’s Governor General. He also received the American “Giraffe Award“ given to people “who stick their necks out“. Pat Mooney has no university training, but is widely regarded as an authority on agricultural biodiversity and new technology issues.
The aim of the future PROGRESS programme is to provide financial support for the implementation of the European Union's objectives in the field of employment and social affairs. It will thus contribute to the achievement of the Lisbon Strategy objectives. PROGRESS, the budget for which is 743 million, will finance analysis, mutual learning, awareness-raising and dissemination activities, as well as assistance for the main players over the period 2007-2013. The programme will be divided into five sections corresponding to five main fields of activity: employment, social protection and inclusion, working conditions, diversity and combating discrimination, and equality between women and men.
Improved national self-confidence and economic stability are just two of the things MEPs from the EU's two newest states picked out as the results of a year of EU membership. As they mark their first year in the Union we spoke to some of the 35 Romanian and 18 Bulgarian MEPs who were elected last year. As well asking them about their work in the Parliament, we asked them to share their impressions of the first year of EU membership and also to look forward to the 2009 European elections.
-Â Florencebusiness is the new portal for place marketing and economic development in the metropolitan area of Florence. It grew out of the need, expressed in different areas by local and international companies, as well as by offices and organizations for economic development, Business Associations, training institutions and Head Hunters, to pool resources in an active container capable of representing and promoting the economic world of Florence in Italy and abroad.

Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a rare genetic cancer-susceptibility syndrome that is characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone-marrow failure and cellular sensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents. Seven FA-associated genes have recently been cloned, and their products were found to interact with well-known DNA-damage-response proteins, including BRCA1, ATM and NBS1. The FA proteins could therefore be involved in the cell-cycle checkpoint and DNA-repair pathways. Recent studies implicate the FA proteins in the process of repairing chromosome defects that occur during homologous recombination, and disruption of the FA genes results in chromosome instability ”€ a common feature of many human cancers.
