OverviewAI-generated summary
Bertha Osei's research focuses on neuronal structure and function, particularly the morphology of dendritic mitochondria. Her work investigates how mitochondrial dynamics, including fusion and fission, are regulated in response to neuronal activity and how these processes are influenced by experimental conditions such as fixative choice and oxygen levels during tissue perfusion. Osei has also contributed to research on DNA helicases, specifically the eukaryotic Pif1 helicase, examining its unwinding mechanisms for G-quadruplexes and double-stranded DNA. Additionally, her research has explored the impact of diverse pathogen-associated molecular patterns on gene transcription within the toll-like receptor signaling pathway in goat blood, and she has investigated the cellular effects of rare single nucleotide polymorphisms in the HELB gene.
