Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Filipa Morais-Santos"
- Filipa Morais-Santos's research mainly focuses on the role of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) in various types of cancers, investigating their expression and impact on tumor growth, metabolism, and microenvironmental factors in malignancies such as breast cancer, testicular germ cell tumors, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Her findings indicate that MCTs are involved in metabolic reprogramming in cancer, contributing to processes like lactate efflux, which affects tumor acidity, angiogenesis, and overall malignancy, providing potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
- Additionally, Morais-Santos explores the implications of zeolite nanoparticles in drug delivery and cell imaging, highlighting the importance of understanding nanoparticle-cell interactions to enhance their biomedical applications.
