Projets

Orientation: thyroid gland

  • The thyroid follicle as an experimental tissue, cellular and molecular model.
  • Study of oxidative stress induced in a model of thyroid hyperplasia and involution in vivo.
  • Oxidative stress and antioxidant proteins in thyroid ophthalmopathy.
  • Effects of selenium deficiency on the normal rat thyroid during goiter development and involution.
  • Regulation of NIS and ThoXs in a rat model of goitrogenesis followed by iodide or T4 induced involution.
  • Role of caveolin-1 and pendrin in the thyroid cell.
  • Antioxidant role of adiponectin.

Orientation: skeletal tissue

  • Cellular mechanisms of facial morphogenesis.
  • Hoxa2 and embryonic development: determination of territories and control of cartilage differentiation.
  • Mechanisms of skeletal tissue adaptation and osseointegration.
  • Solicitation of mini-implants by continuous orthodontic forces: an interdisciplinary and experimental study.
  • Mechanisms of skeletal aging.
 

Orientation: anatomy

  • Segmental anatomy of the face: anatomical basis of facial reconstructive surgery and facial allotransplants.
  • Distribution of muscular and cutaneous perforating vessels: anatomical research for the development of new reconstruction flaps.
  • Surgical anatomy of ovarian pedicles: anatomical basis of microsurgical autotransplantations of cryopreserved ovaries.
  • Study and two-dimensional anatomical definition of lymphatic target volumes in conformal radiotherapy.
