Research Interest

a) Mechanism of cell volume control independent from ATP-ase Na/K-dependent; b) Role of Ca2+ and cytoskeleton in the pathogenesis of necrosis and apoptosis; c) Cellular and molecular mechanisms of the consolidation of the white thrombus; d) Proinflammatory genes expression in tumor progression and in different human diseases; e) Mechanisms of molecular repair in post-mitotic cells: the role of endocrine, paracrin and mechano-coupled signaling and Sirtuins. He is the leader of three research groups of IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana, Rome, involved in building the molecular basis of mechano-coupled, electric-coupled and pharmaco-aided rehabilitation of skeletal muscle, myocardium, sensory receptors and neuronal paths.
