Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dante Heredia"
- Dante Heredia's research focuses on calcium signaling within various biological systems, particularly at the neuromuscular junction and in the enteric nervous system, examining how these processes relate to neurotransmission and gastrointestinal motility.
- Recent findings indicate that postsynaptic calcium extrusion can influence extracellular pH, thereby affecting neurotransmitter release and receptor activation; additionally, his work suggests that serotonergic signaling plays a critical role in regulating colonic motility in diabetic conditions.
- Heredia's studies utilize advanced techniques such as optogenetics and genetically encoded calcium indicators to explore the intricacies of enteric neuron function and the physiological responses of Schwann cells, highlighting their importance in muscle fatigue and motor function regulation.
