Cell biology and physiopathology
Some research groups are involved in investigating the mechanisms that regulate cellular function or the basic alterations that characterize several diseases. Main topics of research are: membrane trafficking in health and disease, cell polarity, protein homeostasis, organelle biogenesis, inter-organelle communication, lysosomes and lysosomal storage disorders, ciliogenesis and ciliopathies, cellular stress regulators, authophagy, mitochondria, oxidative stress, aging and neurodegenerative disorders, stem cell biology and differentiation.
