Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alfonso Martin-Pena"
- Alfonso Martin-Pena's recent research primarily focuses on the impact of aging and neurodegenerative diseases on sensory functions, especially taste, highlighting significant deficits in chemosensory processing related to aging and conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- His work also delves into the biochemical characteristics of α-synuclein related to synucleinopathies, exploring the transition from its physiological to pathological forms and how post-translational modifications correlate with disease progression in neurological disorders.
- Martin-Pena further investigates the role of cellular mechanisms, such as calcium influx in astrocytes, on inflammation-driven behaviors, aiming to provide insights into the cellular dynamics underlying neurodegenerative processes.
