Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alejandra M Hidalgo"
- Alejandra M Hidalgo's research primarily focuses on the role and distribution of disialic acids in the mammalian brain, particularly their impact on neurodevelopment and memory functions.
- Key findings include that inhibition of the enzyme ST8Sia III, responsible for disialic acid transfer, impairs procedural memory in mice, indicating the importance of these compounds in cognitive processes.
- Hidalgo's work also highlights the differential expression of disialic acids in various brain regions and age groups, suggesting a potential link between diSia levels and neurodegenerative changes observed in senile mice.
