Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Assunta Modica"
- Maria Assunta Modica's research focuses on the immunological aspects of aging and genetic predispositions to autoimmune diseases, with significant studies on B cell immunosenescence and the influence of the 8.1 ancestral haplotype.
- In her 2006 study published in the *Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences*, Modica explored serum immunoglobulin levels in elderly individuals, revealing important insights into the decline of B cell function as people age.
- Her earlier work from 2003 in *Biomed Pharmacotherapy* investigated the link between the 8.1 ancestral haplotype and autoimmune disease susceptibility, demonstrating how genetic factors can influence immunological parameters in healthy carriers.
