Disturbed muscle function and regeneration cause or contribute to a wide spectrum of diseases, e.g. dystrophies, heart failure or aging-related muscle loss. Hence, the maintenance of muscle mass, its function and its regeneration capacities are prerequisites for an independent and high quality life during lifespan. However, the mechanisms controlling these processes are poorly understood. We hypothesize that the mechanosensor kindlin-2 (gene ...
The central research theme of Prof. Vanden Broeck and his research group is the study of molecular, cellular and organismal physiological mechanisms implicated in the regulation of important post-embryonic developmental processes, particularly in non-model insect species. This includes the study of neuronal, hormonal and small RNA based regulatory pathways. In addition, translational research is carried out to explore and develop novel ...
