Researcher Esther González-Almela has made significant contributions to various fields of study. Their work on static magnetic fields reveals their role in regulating T-type calcium ion channels, which in turn promotes mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Additionally, the development of an overlapping promoter library for Cordyceps militaris enables heterogeneous expression, and super-resolution microscopy elucidates the interaction between elongating RNA polymerase II, nascent RNA, and nucleosome clutches. Furthermore, system-wide profiling of RNA-binding proteins identifies key regulators of virus infection, including those involved in hepatitis C virus IRES translation. Their research also sheds light on alphavirus translation regulation and Pateamine A's effects on Sindbis virus mRNAs.
