The organism that has contributed the most to the biological understanding of this process is undoubtedly the nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans<\/i>. Our group works on the identification and characterization of these types of genes to better understand the regulatory pathways of longevity (DOI: 10.1016\/S0047-6374(02)00168-9; DOI: 10.1111\/j.1474-9726.2005.00150.x; 10.1111\/j.1474-9726.2011.00747.x; 10.1038\/s41467-020-20269-y).<br \/>In recent years, we have been particularly interested in understanding how the regulation of sulfated steroid hormone levels generates an increase in longevity and improves phenotypes of protein aggregation models (10.1038\/s41467-020-20269-y). The increase in these types of hormones can be generated by mutation in the steroid hormone sulfatase or pharmacologically through treatment with specific inhibitors of this enzyme, which produces the same beneficial effect in\u00a0<i>C. elegans<\/i>\u00a0and murine models (10.1038\/s41467-020-20269-y). The possibility of using these inhibitors, especially the drug STX64, for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases has encouraged us to establish the Spin-Off Olavide Neuron STX, which aims to test this compound for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in humans (<a href=\"https:\/\/onestx.bio\/\">https:\/\/onestx.bio\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Other Projects<br \/>The ease with which the nematode\u00a0<i>C. elegans<\/i>\u00a0can undergo genetic modifications and screenings of drugs or natural extracts, together with the fact that approximately 50% of the genes present in OMIM have an ortholog in this organism, allows it to be used simply as a model for both rare and common diseases. In this regard, our group has generated several models of rare diseases, such as galactosemia type III (10.1534\/genetics.114.170084; 10.1016\/j.biopha.2024.117677) or spinal muscular atrophy (10.1016\/j.biopha.2025.118610), proposing possible treatments that have subsequently been validated in mammalian models.<\/p>\n<p>Other activities<br \/>Due to this ease in drug screening and the large number of disease models available in this organism, our group offers a service for companies and research groups for drug and extract screenings: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upo.es\/upotec\/catalogo\/salud\/unidad-de-ensayos-validacion-actividad-biologica\/\">https:\/\/www.upo.es\/upotec\/catalogo\/salud\/unidad-de-ensayos-validacion-actividad-biologica\/<\/a><br \/>The translation of research results into possible applications is essential for the development of society. In our region, despite having numerous research groups working in basic science, there is very little experience in managing research results to generate new products or services. Our research group is promoting teaching activities and meetings with experts with the aim of training people to become promoters and protagonists of research transfer in our environment: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upo.es\/formacionpermanente\/microcredenciales\/introduccion-a-la-gestion-del-conocimiento-en-las-empresas-biomedicas\/\">https:\/\/www.upo.es\/formacionpermanente\/microcredenciales\/introduccion-a-la-gestion-del-conocimiento-en-las-empresas-biomedicas\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;d057b755-ffa8-4fcd-923c-c94b7c9a9123&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22color%22%93}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;dc6ab383-11a3-454b-8ba1-6554be6042b4&#8243; vertical_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22header_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"uk-heading-divider uk-margin-medium-bottom\">Five relevant publications\u00a0<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"uk-section-default uk-section uk-padding-remove-top\">\n<div class=\"uk-container uk-container-small\">\n<div class=\"tm-grid-expand uk-child-width-1-1 uk-grid-margin uk-grid uk-grid-stack\">\n<div class=\"uk-first-column\">\n<div class=\"uk-panel uk-margin-remove-first-child uk-margin\">\n<div class=\"el-content uk-panel uk-margin-top\">\n<div class=\"uk-section-default uk-section uk-padding-remove-top\">\n<div class=\"uk-container uk-container-small\">\n<div class=\"tm-grid-expand uk-child-width-1-1 uk-grid-margin uk-grid uk-grid-stack\">\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\">Inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase increases SMN levels and connects sphingolipid metabolism to Spinal Muscular Atrophy<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.\u00a0<\/span>(2025).
