Mentor Areas
- Cell Death
- Extracellular Biology
- Autoimmune Skin Diseases
- Cardiovascular Diseases
Description:
During programed cell death of different cell types, the dead cells release Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and/or Extracellular Traps (ETs), which carry potent bioactive molecules that are involved in pathophysiology of various human diseases, including autoimmune diseases. We are studying cellular mechanisms of EVs from different cell types, and neutrophil ETs (NETs) and their pathological involvement in autoimmune diseases.
