Overview

Miriam Capri is affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy. Their research spans multiple disciplines primarily within Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a significant focus on Molecular Biology, Physiology, Cancer Research, Genetics, and Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine.

The scientist's work addresses key topics including Nutritional Studies and Diet, Nutrition and Health in Aging, MicroRNA in disease regulation, Cancer-related molecular mechanisms research, Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Gut microbiota and health, and GDF15 and Related Biomarkers.

Recent publications demonstrate a focus on microbiome and aging-related health issues. Notable papers include:

  • "Mediterranean diet intervention alters the gut microbiome in older people reducing frailty and improving health status: the NU-AGE 1-year dietary intervention across five European countries" (2020, Gut)
  • "Shotgun Metagenomics of Gut Microbiota in Humans with up to Extreme Longevity and the Increasing Role of Xenobiotic Degradation" (2020, mSystems)
  • "Self-rated health in individuals with and without disease is associated with multiple biomarkers representing multiple biological domains" (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • "Inflammaging, hormesis and the rationale for anti-aging strategies" (2020, Ageing Research Reviews)
  • "Serum or Plasma (and Which Plasma), That Is the Question" (2022, Journal of Proteome Research)

Miriam Capri frequently collaborates with several researchers including Claudio Franceschi, Alexander Bürkle, Tilman Grune, Efstathios S. Gonos, and Ewa Sikora.

Their work is published predominantly in journals that focus on aging and biological mechanisms with multiple contributions to:

  • Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
  • Ageing Research Reviews
  • Nutrients
  • GeroScience
  • The Journals of Gerontology Series A
