Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alicia B Pomilio"
- Alicia B Pomilio's recent research focuses on the conformational analysis and molecular interactions of bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, employing advanced computational methods like density functional theory and natural bond orbital analysis to understand their chemical reactivities and biological activities.
- Significant findings include the identification of multiple new conformers for various anthocyanidins, investigation of the effects of dietary anthocyanins on immune responses related to conditions like osteoarthritis and obesity, and a critical review of their antioxidant activities across different studies.
- Pomilio also explores the links between neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, examining the potential impacts of COVID-19 on disease progression and emphasizing the need for novel biomarkers and diagnostic methods to facilitate early detection and treatment strategies.
