Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tanvi Tavarna"
- Tanvi Tavarna's research primarily focuses on the interactions between periodontal pathogens, particularly Porphyromonas gingivalis, and reproductive health, with an emphasis on impaired spiral artery remodeling and its implications for pregnancy outcomes.
- Her studies have demonstrated that infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis can lead to disrupted spiral artery remodeling, altered uterine NK cell populations, and changes in cytokine levels, thereby highlighting the pathogen's role in complications such as fetal growth restriction.
- Additionally, Tavarna has contributed to the field of biofuel production through metagenomic research, exploring the potential of novel endoglucanases for second-generation biofuels, which addresses the need for sustainable energy sources as fossil fuels dwindle.
