Participation in Working Groups

  • WG4 - Mechanobiological principles of rare and common diseases

Research Interests

Taken together, her research concerns morpho-functional features of hemopoietic, nervous, epithelial, cartilage and, more recently, skeletal muscle cells, with particular regard to their changes in differentiation and death.
The most commonly recently used cell model were C2C12 murine cells, growing in monolayer and characterised by means of molecular and morpho-functional approaches. Their development and their death, induced by a variety of physical and chemical triggers have been widely studied.
Cell response to natural antioxidants is the object of the last publications.
