RESEARCH LINES
We study how aging changes the vulnerability of different brain regions to neurodegeneration, focusing in degeneration of axons and dendrites, and chronic inflammation. Using laboratory models, we search for genetic, pharmacological and functional interventions to decrease this age-dependent vulnerability for neurodegeneration.
An early event and major contributor to neuronal death in several neurodegenerative conditions is the degeneration of neuronal axons. We study the molecular mechanisms of axonal degeneration in the context of neurodegenerative conditions and peripheral neurophaties. As axonal degeneration can cause permanent loss of function, it represents an important target for neuroprotection.
Axonal regeneration is a subject of intense investigation as is one of the underlying processes of functional recovery after nervous system damage. We are studying intrinsic and extrinsic factors that generate a growth-permissive environment leading to successful axonal regrowth and target reinnervation in the peripheral nervous system to enhance functional recovery.
The gut microbiota plays an important role in the physiology of the central nervous system. We study the bidirectional brain-gut communication along aging, using animal models and analysis of human cohorts. Furthermore, we are generating proprietary bacterial consortia to restore changes in bacterial composition along aging.
