Immune Sensing and Surveillance Unit (IMMUSENSE)

My research focuses on understanding how the immune system detects and controls cancer cells, particularly in the context of cellular senescence and stress responses. By investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate immune surveillance, we aim to identify new strategies to enhance immune recognition and clearance of cancer cells.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of dehydrated potato-derived bioactive compounds in intestinal cells

Inflammation and oxidative stress are always more recognized as responsible for chronic disease at the intestinal level. Currently, a growing interest is addressed to the discovery of diet-derived products which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This work aims to characterize the pharmacological potential of dehydrated potatoes. For this purpose, a simulated gastrointestinal digestion was carried out.
