Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Raquel E S M Correia"
- Raquel E S M Correia's research primarily investigates the implications of citrullination in the context of autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, by analyzing lung tissue samples from diverse smoking cohorts to assess the presence of citrullinated proteins and associated deiminating enzymes.
- In her study published in "Arthritis Research & Therapy," findings indicated that smoking may elevate the immunogenicity of autoantigens by inducing citrullination, which could elucidate mechanisms contributing to rheumatoid arthritis development among smokers.
- Additionally, her work on nonviral gene delivery methods demonstrated the efficacy of minicircles combined with microporation for transfecting neural stem cells, showing improved cell viability and stability of transgene expression, as reported in the journal "Biomacromolecules."
