ABSTRACT:
Today's society is suffering from an increase in mental and neurodegenerative diseases, whether due to aging, our habits or environmental factors, we do not know for sure, but they are undoubtedly risk factors. But the reality is that more and more people suffer from these disorders, and when our brain is affected, the consequence is problems in our thinking, judgment, cognition, memory, etc. One of the great handicaps we face is how to make a correct rapid diagnosis, being able to predict which treatment is the most appropriate, and when and how it should be administered. Our laboratory researches the development of new biomarkers focused on the use of proteomics related to the immune system, metabolic systems, inflammation and how they relate to mental pathology.
Another approach that we are carrying out in the laboratory is to address a new strategy to develop new molecules that can be investigated as regular potentials of the nervous system. In this aspect, we investigate the molecular aspects of human breast milk and how they can be used as potential regulators and be used in neurodegenerative diseases.
