Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Roland Lupoli"
Roland Lupoli's research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms of longevity in eusocial insects, particularly termites, exploring the differential gene expression related to aging, fertility, and metabolic processes in long-lived reproductive castes compared to their short-lived counterparts.
He has contributed significantly to entomology through the documentation and cataloging of numerous species, including the first comprehensive catalogue of the Asopinae subfamily from French Guiana, enhancing the understanding of biodiversity in this region.
Additionally, Lupoli has conducted structural and biochemical studies on human enzymes such as adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRPT), providing insights into substrate selectivity and catalytic mechanisms that are essential for purine homeostasis.
