OverviewAI-generated summary

Erika Horta investigates human immune responses and their role in disease, with a focus on regulatory B cells and their interaction with macrophages. Her recent work has explored how specific human B cell populations, characterized by CD24+CD38+ expression, can influence macrophage function. This interaction is mediated through the synergistic effects of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway, suggesting a mechanism for modulating inflammatory processes.

Her research also extends to clinical applications, including the pharmacological treatment of various conditions. Publications include studies on the efficacy of belzutifan for retinal capillary hemangioblastomas, everolimus for refractory seizures in tuberous sclerosis, and a review of current and future pharmacological treatments for brain metastases. Additionally, she has examined the prevalence of cerebrovascular accidents in patients with ulcerative colitis and contributed to the understanding of functional precision medicine assays for recurrent meningioma and high-grade glioma.
