Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana M Mata"
Recent research by Ana M Mata has focused on the role of polyoxotungstates (POTs) in altering calcium signaling pathways, particularly their inhibition of purinergic P2 receptors and calcium ATPases, revealing potential therapeutic implications for neurodegenerative diseases.
Her studies highlight the connection between dysregulated calcium homeostasis and the neurotoxicity of amyloid-β peptides, linking Aβ interactions with calmodulin and other calcium-binding proteins to Alzheimer's pathogenesis.
Mata's work also includes a systematic review of convalescent plasma treatment for COVID-19, underscoring the importance of her research across various health-related fields, from neurobiology to infectious disease treatment.
