Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marta Balanya Segura"
- Recent research by Marta Balanya Segura focuses on the molecular mechanisms at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), specifically the roles of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophins in synaptic adaptation, development, and aging processes.
- Findings highlight the interaction between presynaptic muscarinic signaling and BDNF/TrkB pathways, which are crucial for retrograde regulation of neurotransmitter release and synaptic efficiency, especially in age-related conditions like sarcopenia.
- Segura's work also explores the competitive dynamics of axonal development and synapse elimination, demonstrating how neurotrophic factors influence neuromuscular health and resistance to fatigue, indicating broader implications for neurodegenerative conditions.
