Taking flight, the use of Drosophila melanogaster for neuroscience research in Uruguay
The Sociedad de Neurociencias del Uruguay is celebrating its 30th anniversary, sustained by more than a century of neuroscience research in the country. During this time, different approaches and experimental organisms have been incorporated to study diverse aspects of neurobiology. One of these experimental animals, successfully used in a variety of biological fields, is the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Although Drosophila has been a model organism for neuroscience research worldwide for...
Hippocampal sclerosis: A review on current research status and its mechanisms
Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a pathological condition characterized by significant loss of hippocampal neurons and gliosis. This condition represents the most common neuropathological change observed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and is also found in aging individuals. TLE related to HS is the most prevalent type of drug-resistant epilepsy in adults, and its underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Therefore, developing improved methods for predicting and treating...
Impacts of ageing on the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells recognizing CD19 (19CAR-T) cell therapy has achieved robust clinical efficacy when treating some hematological malignancies, but which patient subgroups benefit mostly remains elusive. Here we summarized the data of 541 patients from 30 clinical trials who underwent 19 CAR-T therapy and analyzed the different clinical responses between young (<44 years), middle-aged (45-59 years) and elderly (>60 years) patients and found that the young patients showed a higher...
