Research Topic
Our research is focused on studying the possibilities of regeneration of damaged tissues of the central and peripheral nervous system. We apply new findings about the process of development, regeneration and plasticity of nerve tissues in experimental therapies in order to stimulate the restoration of functions of the nervous system injured by trauma or neurodegenerative diseases. We study and use adult stem cells obtained from adult tissues, umbilical cords and umbilical cord blood, but also from neural progenitor cells isolated from the brain and spinal cord (rat, mouse) within the existing legislative rules of stem cell research in Slovakia. We investigate the regularities of postnatal neurogenesis with a focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing the development and integration of newly formed neurons, including their differentiation, growth, migration, transport and the formation of new connections. We want to use these findings in the experimental therapies of major neurodegenerative diseases.
