Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aya Ogata"
Recent research by Aya Ogata has primarily focused on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), examining mechanisms like neuroinflammation, glial activation, and the role of microRNAs in disease progression.
Ogata's studies involve the development and evaluation of novel PET ligands for imaging specific brain proteins, such as heat shock proteins and receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), suggesting their significance in understanding and diagnosing neurodegenerative conditions.
Additionally, her research addresses the impact of environmental factors on congenital anomalies, specifically exploring the protective effects of botanical extracts against pharmaceutical exposures that may lead to cleft palate and lip defects.
