Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. Coordinator: Ferroni
The laboratory deals with identification of the role ionic channels play in some physiological and pathophysiological processes. Some research activities aim to characterize ionic mechanisms controlling homeostatic functions of the astroglial and neuronal cells. The other part of studies is dedicated to identify the ionic channels involvement in pathogenetic mechanisms of genetic diseases such as Anderson-Fabry disease. These projects are being developed in animal models, rats and mice as well as in cell lines or cells procured by the biopsy of the human skin. All the studies mentioned come from the techniques used in molecular and cellular biology, cellular electrophysiology and microfluorimetry
