Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Sofia Azevedo"
- Ana Sofia Azevedo's research primarily focuses on the biomechanics of metastatic processes, particularly the interactions between circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and hemodynamic forces, highlighting how blood flow impacts CTC adhesion and extravasation in vivo using zebrafish models.
- Her work also addresses the challenges of studying metastasis, emphasizing the need to understand the arrest, adhesion, and passage of cancer cells through endothelial barriers in the context of their dynamics within the bloodstream.
- Additionally, Azevedo has explored the regenerative capabilities of zebrafish, investigating the effects of repeated amputations on the regenerative processes of the caudal fin, thereby contributing valuable insights into the positional information guiding tissue regeneration.
