Overview

Lorenzo Alibardi is affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy and has contributed extensively to the field of Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with a particular focus on Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biomaterials. Their research addresses key topics in Skin and Cellular Biology Research, Silk-based biomaterials and applications, Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation, Cellular Mechanics and Interactions, Adhesion, Friction, and Surface Interactions, Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in development and cancer.

Their recent publications cover studies on vertebrate regeneration, keratinization, immunoreactivity associated with regeneration, and gene expression during tissue repair processes. Recent notable papers include:

  • Appendage regeneration in anamniotes utilizes genes active during larval-metamorphic stages that have been lost or altered in amniotes: The case for studying lizard tail regeneration, 2020, Journal of Morphology
  • Vertebrate keratinization evolved into cornification mainly due to transglutaminase and sulfhydryl oxidase activities on epidermal proteins: An immunohistochemical survey, 2021, The Anatomical Record
  • Observations on FGF immunoreactivity in the regenerating tail blastema, and in the limb and tail scars of lizard suggest that FGFs are required for regeneration, 2024, Belgian Journal of Zoology
  • Gene expression in regenerating and scarring tails of lizard evidences three main key genes (wnt2b, egfl6, and arhgap28) activated during the regulated process of tail regeneration, 2020, PROTOPLASMA
  • Electron microscopic analysis in the gecko Lygodactylus reveals variations in micro-ornamentation and sensory organs distribution in the epidermis that indicate regional functions, 2022, The Anatomical Record

Frequent collaborators in their research include Antonio Bonfitto, R. Randi, Leopold Eckhart, Davide Bussinello, and Massimo Degan. The scientist's work appears predominantly in several publication venues, notably:

  • Acta Zoologica (16 publications)
  • PROTOPLASMA (9 publications)
  • Journal of Morphology (8 publications)
  • Journal of Developmental Biology (7 publications)
  • Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger (6 publications)

Alibardi's research integrates molecular mechanisms underlying skin biology and regeneration, with an emphasis on cellular and developmental processes. Their work also spans biomaterials, particularly silk-based applications, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach within cell biology and biomaterials science.
