Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Cecilia J de Almeida"
- Cecilia J de Almeida's recent research focuses primarily on the roles of lipid droplets and caveolin proteins in immune responses, particularly in the context of infectious diseases and obesity-related inflammation, as evidenced by her 2023 article exploring lipid droplets in Zika neuroinfection as potential therapeutic targets.
- Her studies on leptin indicate its persistent signaling effects in immune cells during diet-induced obesity and illustrate how leptin influences proadipogenic and proinflammatory pathways, underlining the intersection of metabolism and immunity.
- Almeida's earlier work highlights the significance of caveolin proteins in both innate immunity and inflammatory responses, revealing their dual roles in regulating inflammation during infections such as those caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and Salmonella enterica, thus contributing to our understanding of immune dysfunctions in these contexts.
