3D neuronal monitoring platforms for electrochemical sensing of neurotransmitters in vitro

Neurological diseases and mental disorders pose a major challenge due to their high prevalence and progressive neuronal degeneration, which often disrupts neurotransmitter release. Among the most critical neurotransmitters are glutamate and dopamine, both deeply involved in key neurophysiological processes and strongly associated with disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.

Alteraciones en el metabolismo energético y lipídico asociadas a la pérdida de función de TDP-43: Implicación de mecanismosno-neuronales en la Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative diseasecharacterized by the progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs),leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and eventually paralysis andrespiratory failure. A central pathological feature of ALS is TDP-43proteinopathy, which involves both the loss of nuclear function and theaggregation of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm. TDP-43

Study of the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle stem cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: implications for a peripheral etiopathogenesis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating adult-onset disease characterized by gradual degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons (MN) which leads to progressive muscle weakness and paralysis. Non-cell autonomous mechanisms are nowadays considered to play a crucial role in its onset and progression. Thus, the skeletal muscle is hypothesized

From benign liver disease to cancer: a matter of life and death

Chronic liver diseases represent an escalating global health burden, with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) emerging as a key driver of hepatocarcinogenesis. This seminar highlights the critical role of RIPK3, a central effector of necroptosis—a regulated, pro-inflammatory form of cell death—in liver disease progression. In MASLD, RIPK3 promotes hepatic
