Morphology

• Study of aging in cells and tissues (sarcopenia and neuromuscular disorders, neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, joint disorders, cellulite) • Study of tissue regeneration (fat graft, mesenchymal stem cells, filler, biological and synthetic scaffolds, ozone therapy) • Study of the biocompatibility and efficacy of experimental biomedical nanoconstructs (drug delivery, contrast agents, hyperthermic treatments), on in vitro and in vivo models, with special reference to the crossing of biological barriers • Study of the specific smell and taste ability in healthy and ill patients • Oncological studies in vitro and in vivo, as well as on specimens ex vivo from patients with different tumours; special attention is given i) to the role of the adipose tissue in oncogenesis and tumour progression; ii) to the molecular mechanisms of “mesenchymalization” in aggressive mammary carcinomas; and iii) to the development of novel theranostic approaches to solid tumours
