Unlike cardiac myocytes, cardiac fibroblasts retain their replicative capacity throughout adult life and are relatively resistant to several pro-apoptotic stimuli that prevail in pathophysiologic states of the myocardium, which underlie their critical role in myocardial remodeling following injury. This laboratory focuses on the regulation of the cardiac fibroblast cell cycle and the relative resistance of these cells to apoptosis under hypoxia, a major constituent of myocardial ischemia and infarction
Functional neuroimaging, magnetic resonance imaging, Medical image processing
Polymer composites, synthesis of polymers for medical and dental applications, Inorganic hybrid materials (Ormocers), Nano composites, smart composites and dental tissue remineralization
Signalling events in Gliomas, Pathobiology of neurodegenerative disorders, Regulation of autophagy is diseases
Biomedical materials and polymers for medical applications, Implant and medical devices, Tissue engineering
