Novel modes of intercellular communication


The main goal of our lab is to shed light on the fundaments of the intercellular and interorgan crosstalk mediated by extracellular vesicles, lipoproteins and protein complexes in living organisms, their role in the regulation of physiological processes with a special focus on metabolism and how their dysregulation could drive the development of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and immune system pathologies.
