Cardiology
Working to improve heart failure through therapies that regenerate cardiomyocytes, using advanced analytical and imaging techniques
Cardiology
Cardiology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 During the first days after birth, the heart exhibits significant regenerative capacity, but the adult heart has limited capacity to regenerate after a heart attack. Because of this difference, researchers at LNBio are focusing on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind the loss of this regenerative capacity in the adult heart…
Neurodevelopment and multi-scale connectivity
This group models neurodegenerative diseases in animals and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), correlating data and exploring functional models
Neurodevelopment and multi-scale connectivity
Neurodevelopment and multi-scale connectivity Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The process of neurodevelopment, from the formation of the nervous system to configuration of the neural circuitry, is extremely complex. A multi-scale approach is utilized to understand cerebral plasticity, which is essential for adaptation to environmental demands. This approach includes techniques like multinomics, 3D imaging, and scientific…
Biomolecular condensates
Dedicated to the study of molecular mechanisms associated with intellectual impairment, investigating mutations and the impact on the nervous system to improve diagnostics and treatments
Biomolecular condensates
Biomolecular condensates Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Biomolecular condensates are composed of proteins and other biomolecules that aggregate in liquid-liquid or liquid-solid structures inside the cells, and perform essential roles in regulating complex biological processes and maintaining cell functions. LNBio stands out in studying the molecular mechanisms of human proteins with critical roles in health and…
Cancer biology
Investigating the molecular foundations of cancer, studying its development in natural microenvironments
Chagas
This group studies neglected parasitic diseases such as Chagas, which are associated with poverty and precarious health conditions
Virology
This group focuses on arboviruses, which have not yet been widely studied and are transmitted by vectors present in our ecosystem
Cancer biology
Cancer biology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Improving the treatment options for diseases like cancer requires continuous evolution of the disease models used in the laboratory. Three-dimensional culture of tumor cells in the form of organoids has proven an important method for establishing personalized therapies. This approach makes it possible to replicate tumors in lab conditions…
