Research areas
Research areas Research at the Division of Cell Biology, Histology and Embryology focuses on placenta research, reproductive medicine, and materno-fetal medicine as well as on stem cell research, regenerative medicine, neuro sciences, and cancer research. In the context of the
general topic „Sustainable health research” and the research fields of the Medical University of Graz
specific projects and issues are studied within the individual research areas:
Placenta research, reproductive medicine and materno-fetal medicine
- Endothelial Indoleamine 2,3-Deoxygenase-1 in the regulation of placental vascular tone
- Einfluss adhärenter Blutplättchen auf den Zottentrophoblast
- Einfluss von O2 auf Trophoblast in der Frühschwangerschaft
- Medication use in pregnancy with focus on attitudes, perception of risk and mental well-being
- NanoREPROtox
- The role of angiotensin II on placental fractalkine
- The role of pro-inflammatory cytokines on placental fractalkine expression and its interaction with maternal monocytes
- Untersuchung von ernährungsabhängigen reproduktionsphysiologischen Prozessen der Spezies Rupicapra rupicapra (Tiermodell)
Neurosciences
Cancer research
