Neurogastroenterology.
Description
The research is focused on working with the digestive system, with emphasis on neurogastroenterology. The group studies the interaction of morphological, molecular and functional aspects of enteric neurons and enteric glial cells, with purinergic receptors and intestinal motility. They work with immunohistochemical techniques, molecular biology and intestinal motility. They work in the areas of ischemia and reperfusion, intestinal inflammation, obesity and malnutrition, focusing on neuron-glial interaction.
