Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dulcineia M Albuquerque"
- Dulcineia M Albuquerque's research primarily focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying various forms of hemoglobinopathies, particularly the interactions affecting retinopathy in patients with sickle cell disease and the role of angiogenesis-related genes in the pathophysiology of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR).
- Significant findings include the identification of differentially expressed genes in endothelial cells of sickle cell patients, contributing to a better understanding of the vascular complications associated with sickle cell anemia, particularly ischemic stroke and retinopathy.
- Additionally, the research explores genetic factors influencing iron overload in non-Caucasian populations and the implications of specific gene polymorphisms on disease progression and associated complications, enhancing the understanding of sickle cell disease and its systemic effects.
