Dr. Da Palma did his PhD (2015) at the Universidade Nove de Julho (Sao Paulo, Brazil). After completing her doctoral thesis, she pursued her current research interests in tissue engineering, disease models, and organ repair. Since then, she has focused on using the acellular extracellular matrix to characterize different lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD, and fibrosis, and propose new approaches in vitro. Furthermore, during her last postdoctoral research (2021), where she was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship at IBEC (Barcelona, Spain), she developed devices that mimic organs such as the heart, lung, and intestine increased her interest in the organ-on-a-chip platform. Renata is a Professor of the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC).
Dr. Da Palma has years of experience in the field of regenerative medicine, biomaterial, cell-biomaterial interactions, organs-on-chip technology, decellularization, and generation of engineering tissues.

Predictive capacity for local disease control of neogenin-1 (NEO1) transcriptional expression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Gemma Fuster has just published a research article in collaboration with Hospital de Sant Pau and Hospital Clínic where the researchers analyse the predictive capacity for local disease control of the transcriptional expression of the neogenin-1 (NEO1) gene in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We performed a retrospective neogenin-1 (NEO1) transcriptional study on tumour biopsies from 107 surgically treated HNSCC patients. Neogenin-1 is the receptor for netrin-1 and has been classified as a tumour suppressor gene in some cancers, such as colorectal cancer. In contrast, in this study shows that HNSCC patients with lower [...]
