Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Miguel A Pozo"
- Miguel A Pozo's recent research primarily investigates the roles of astrocytes in brain metabolism and their implications in neurological conditions, including excitotoxicity and tauopathies, revealing that alterations in astrocytic function can affect glucose metabolism and neuronal health.
- His studies also highlight the mechanotransduction processes in cancer cells, particularly focusing on the interaction between caveolae and invadosomes, which facilitate cancer cell invasion, indicating that mechanical adaptations in cell membranes are crucial for tumor progression.
- Pozo's work underscores the significance of lipid droplets and extracellular vesicles in immune responses and cell communication, providing insights into their regulatory roles in metabolism and pathophysiological processes, including cancer and neurological diseases.
