Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ligia Schmitd"
- Ligia Schmitd's research intersects neurobiology and oncology, particularly focusing on the role of nerve interactions in cancer progression and peripheral nerve regeneration, as seen in her study on SARM1’s function in PNS injury and Schwann cell response.
- Her work includes significant investigations into oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), where she identifies the adverse effects of nerve density and perineural invasion on patient outcomes, thereby highlighting the importance of the tumor microenvironment.
- Schmitd also explores the salivary microbiome's changes during treatment of oral cancer, revealing potential biomarkers for therapy response and emphasizing the intricate relationships between microbial dysbiosis and cancer therapies.
