Our group is focused on understanding the role of endothelial and stem cells in heart and skeletal muscle diseases, metabolic regulation as well as in cancer. The major interest is in the endothelial ...

Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

Several studies have also shown that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF ... We have isolated and thoroughly characterised a population of skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) that enhance ...

The diversity in growth and morphological characteristics among endothelial cells in different ... of specific tissues like the cardiac or skeletal muscle would potentially offer major advantages.

Skeletal-myoblast-based therapy has also ... to self-renew and differentiate into cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. The potential advantages of autologous cardiac stem ...

Research in the Leinwand lab focuses on unraveling mechanisms of genetic heart and skeletal muscle diseases using animal models, cell-culture systems and biophysical approaches. In addition to ...
