Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Monica Mendes Sousa"
Monica Mendes Sousa's research primarily focuses on the role of the cytoskeleton in neuronal development and function, particularly examining how microtubules and actin contribute to axonal biology and regeneration processes.
Her findings highlight the complexity of cytoskeletal organization in neurons, revealing mechanisms that affect established axonal polarity, growth cone dynamics, and the capacity for regeneration following injury.
Moreover, Sousa explores the potential of targeting cytoskeletal components as therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing the cytoskeleton's integral role in maintaining neuronal health and function.
