Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rafaela V S Pereira"
- Recent research by Rafaela V S Pereira focuses on proteases and their roles in wound healing, inflammation, and immune responses, highlighting the importance of understanding and modulating these processes for therapeutic applications.
- Key findings include the protective effects of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12) against proteolytic degradation in skin healing, the development of high-yield potato protease inhibitors that could serve to block viral infections, and the beneficial modulation of immune responses using physiological fibrin hydrogels.
- Additional studies reveal the involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in various diseases, including arthritis, and underscore the potential of tailored biomaterials like chlorite-oxidized oxyamylose to improve wound healing and tissue regeneration outcomes.
