This study deals with reverse faults within intensely carbonated metalherzolites, with related gold mineralisations, from the Voltri Massif, and in particular within the Lavagnina Lakes area, in the Gorzente Valley. This area is located in northwest Italy among the municipalities of Casaleggio Boiro, Lerma, Mornese, and Bosio (Alessandria,...

Lawsonite eclogites are rare rocks and have been described from only a few localities in the world. Lawsonite-bearing assemblages are highly unstable and physico-chemical processes linked to exhumation may destroy them; only aggregates interpreted as pseudomorphs after lawsonite could be often recognized. In this paper, we present a detailed...

Lawsonite (lws) blueschists and eclogites are expected to be the prevailing lithotypes developing during deep subduction of the oceanic crust and should therefore be quite abundant in exhumed subduction complexes. Nevertheless, lws-bearing eclogites have been described only from few localities in the world. Moreover the occurrence of lws-...

Vitamin D receptor is constitutively expressed on the lymphocyte surface. Recent studies highlight that vitamin D may exert actions on T-cells, inhibiting Th1 and Th17 response and enhancing Th2 and T-regulatory (T-reg) function.

In this work, we examine a thrust fault developed within carbonated ultramafites of the Voltri Massif (Ligurian Alps), exposed along the Bisciarelle stream. Different rock types characterise the damage zone of this fault, namely carbonate and chalcedony-quartz veins at the footwall and intensely fractured and hydrothermally altered lherzolite...
