Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Helena Johard"
- Helena Johard's research primarily focuses on neuropeptides and their roles in physiological responses to environmental stressors, particularly within the model organism Drosophila, elucidating mechanisms underlying osmotic stress and metabolic regulation.
- Johard's work has highlighted the importance of neural stem cell (NSC) quiescence as a strategy for neuroprotection during cancer treatment, indicating how specific ionic channels can balance cell proliferation and dormancy in NSCs.
- Her studies also emphasize the complex transcriptomic networks associated with the cell cycle in cancer cells, providing resources to better understand how transcription factors and neuropeptides contribute to functions like cell identity and stress responses in various contexts.
