Episode 22: Cells, microbes and cell therapy

15m 11s

This episode will present: the development of an innovative therapeutic platform for CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder as a non invasive, accessible oral treatment using engineered bacteria as a therapeutic vehicle; photobiomodulation as a potential new non invasive therapy for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; a 3D model differentiated from perinatal stem cells as a potential therapy for type 1 diabetes; and a multidimensional approach to post transplant outcome assessment based on outcome indicators and interdisciplinary interventions.

Episode 21: Metabolic and genetic alterations in disease

Episode 21: Metabolic and genetic alterations in disease

23m 22s

In this episode, we examine how metabolic rewiring and genetic alterations drive cancer and neurological disease. We explore disrupted glycogen metabolism in rare neurodegenerative disorders, altered glucose utilization in leukemia, and the role of lipid metabolism in solid tumors.
The conversation also highlights how key genetic mutations, such as those affecting TP53, reshape cellular pathways and disease progression. By examining these molecular changes across different diseases, we highlight how metabolism and genetics shape disease biology, revealing vulnerabilities that could be exploited for future therapeutic strategies."
