Stem Cells: Natural stimuli and physical energy to modulate the biology of human mesenchymal stem cells
The aim of the research is to identify natural molecules and physical energy able to modulate the stemness, differentiation, and senescence of human stem cells.
Research areas
stem cells, regenerative medicine.
Research projects
Natural stimuli and physical energy to modulate the biology of human stem cells derived from adult or perinatal tissues.
Current research objectives
- Natural stimuli and physical energy to modulate the process of senescence of human stem cells derived from adult or perinatal tissues.
- Remodeling of cytoskeleton and modulation of the morpho-functional properties of human stem cells.
- Natural stimuli and physical energy to modulate the processes of stemness and differentiation of human stem cells derived from adult or perinatal tissues.
